Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here's my build to add context to the review: CPU: i7-4790K Cooler: Corsair H100i (with Noctua fans) Mobo: Asus Maximus VI Gene (mATX) RAM: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X (2133MHz) SSD: Intel 730 Series 240GB HDD: Two (2) 3TB Seagate Barracudas in RAID1 PSU: Corsair CS550M (80+ gold) Video Card: GTX 750Ti EVGA Superclocked edition (all other parts are irrelevant) My experience with this chip has been nothing but fantastic from the beginning. I have been stress testing my chip for a few days at varying frequencies, and my results were almost unbelievable. I was able to achieve 5.1GHz with my voltage set on auto. I used both P95 and AIDA64 in my testing, both of which my CPU passed with flying colors after a 4 hour "burn in." However, I was not able to make it to 5.2GHz since my PC blue screened after 5 minutes of Prime95. All of this is extremely surprising since I've seen numerous reviews raving that this chip is a bad overclocker. So I've narrowed my possibilities down to three reasons. One, The reviewers who had overheating issues had a bad cooling system; two, they're very bad at using the BIOS; three, I must have the most golden 4790K to hit the shelves. Whichever is the case, I feel I have a great CPU and one that overclocks like a boss. If you don't believe me, I have the CPUID screenshot on my desktop for bragging rights. If you're looking for a great Haswell refresh chip, look no further. This is a phenomenal processor. Or maybe I'm just excited to be upgrading from an AMD Phenom build that I've had since 2008.
