I thought I would come back and finally review this after 7 years, lol. But I play many PC games and this thing is still handling all the new system demanding ones just fine. Turns out that today's games benefit more from a good GPU and lots of RAM. I upgraded my GPU last year and my original 16GB ram is still sufficient with the latest games. Benchmarking shows that newer games aren't even pushing this CPU very high. I should also give credit to the good heatsink/fan, power supply, and mobo I originally invested in. So I think I am good for the rest of this latest gaming generation, barring any unexpected hardware failures, knock on wood.

Works great, using it in a hackintosh(Gigabyte ga-z87mx-d3h) build, idles like my 4800MQ 15.6" notebook, around 28-30C. I haven't stressed it yet, but I paired it with a HyperEvo 212+ cooler rather than the useless stock HS/fan in a Corsair Carbide 300R case.
I haven't stressed it yet, but will try to remember high temps when stressed, running with Patriot Viper 1600 DDR3 DIMMs (2x8GB).
[EDIT]
Prime95 under OSX:
pretty well stabilizes w/a Hyper 212+ @ 60-63 w/an occasional BRIEF spike to ~69C.
Stock HSF is UTTERLY useless people, replace with ALMOST ANYTHING else, i.e. order CPU with some sort of better aftermarket cooler.
A 212 Evo w/3930k works about as well for me, although it idles at a bit higher temps, mid 30C range stock(3.2GHz), 40C range overclocked to 3.9GHz.
The Haswell build is MUCH quieter than my 3930k build, however there are more/larger case fans, higher cap PSU w/equivalent fans, etc. so that was expected. I'm still leery of liquid cooling as I FEAR leakages.

Intel is the way to go. I have been an AMD fan boy for all of my life. Going through college I was poor and price was more of a factor in my decision to go with AMD. I assumed the competition between AMD and Intel was overblown and that their chips were similar. Boy, was I wrong.
I replaced my AMD Phenom 4-core 4.0 Ghz processor with this i7. There was a world of difference. I don't do a lot of gaming but I have some experience with video conversion which I used both processors on to test. When I would convert a video file to a different format with the AMD processor, it would max out it's usage to 99% which meant if I did anything else while it was converting that it would overload the processor and blue screen of death me. With the Intel processor, video conversion only takes up about 20% usage and, if I were to estimate, I would say that it converts the videos roughly 33% faster, maybe more. This is great because it allows me to do other things on my computer while I'm converting the video files without blowing it up.
Yes, Intel is going to cost you quite a bit more money for "less" processing power. In my personal opinion, it is well worth the extra money. These processors are much faster than AMD. The point of this review isn't to dog AMD because they give you excellent processing power at an affordable price. I have nothing against them. However, if money isn't tight and you have a little extra that you don't mind spending, go with an Intel processor, especially if you'll be using it for gaming or video editing/conversion.

I will update my review after I receive my processor but I wanted to "Review" Amazon customer service. If you are like me you want this processor at the lowest price and Amazon often has it for close to the lowest. Occasionally it will drop its price like today (18 May) to a really good price $299. Well if you are like me and bought it a short time ago (I believe the rule is 30 days) for a higher price just call them up and ask for a refund of the difference. I used "My Account" help, contact us, and call me... when they called me, I said I wanted a refund of the difference, she said hold on one second, came back a short time later and said it has been processed. Total time 2 Minutes and 33 Seconds!!! It was only $20 but I expected to be on hold longer than two and a half minutes!
Good job customer service, if the chip is as good as that I will take over the world!

There isn't much to say about the CPU but below are my thoughts:
Pro's:
1) Very easy to install
2) Very powerful for the money and easily handled every stress test I could come up with
3) Overclocking is a snap and the CPU remains stable even when overclocked
4) The 4 cores contain Hyper-threading meaning each core is technically two individual cores
Con's:
1) Can get to 40+C when heavily loaded, even with a lot of fans and copper heat sinks attached. This relates to the CPU pulling a lot of power and in turn diminishes the overall life of the CPU but this only happens when I tax the CPU to it's max.
In the end, this CPU is rock solid but only buy it when it goes on sale. Also, when buying, make sure this CPU socket will fit your motherboard socket.

I spent a lot of time comparing the latest intel and AMD CPUs before making this purchase. I wanted so much to give AMD a chance. Typically you can get almost or just as good performance out of an AMD chip for cheaper. At the end of the day, I decided on the i7 4770k for it's single and multi core performance vs the alternatives. This is going in a machine primarily used for media transcoding and gaming.
Without being overclocked, with an EVO 212 CPU cooler, and a Corsair Carbide 500R case - this CPU runs at a cool 32c under heavy load for hours on end. The little overclocking I have done so far was a breeze on my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H) and was very stable. If you don't plan on doing any overclocking, you'd be just fine with the non-K version of this CPU.

I got this to upgrade my Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF that came with an i5 processor. Small upgrade but this is the fastest processor that will fit in the same socket as the original. I purchased it used Through Amazon from from M&D Discounts. Installed the processor and it fired right up. Very happy with it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2014Verified Purchase
Replacing an aging AMD chip this was a nice surprise. Even running at the stock speed of 3.5mhz it is quick. The on board graphics are not much to write home about and I disabled these and removed all Intel graphic drivers as they conflicted with the AMD R280X drivers causing a big delay booting. After that however it boots quickly and I have played with overclocking using the Gigabyte Z87x- UD4H motherboard but to be honest even with the most demanding of games the "Heaven" and 3D Mark Benchmarks are 70-80% better than most even at stock speeds so I have reset it 3.5mhz. Is it quicker than AMD 6 core and 8 core chips. Well it depends on what you use it for and what graphics card you have. Any multiple core chip allied to the best card you can afford will give excellent results. In hindsight I could have saved money getting an AMD 8 Core processor and it would have been cheaper and worked just as well but I made the choice as an experiment and happy to live with the results. The one thing, and this applies to AMD as well. Get a decent cooler that is silent. Even at full load the processor is still ticking over at 48 degrees c.

Solid Processor, But only a modest jump in performance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 10, 2014Verified Purchase
I picked up this CPU for use in my Home theater setup, so that is what I will focus on... I'll leave the tech specs to others...
**Update: My CPU average temperatures at idle were 35C, using the same cooling setup on the 4770K I am seeing 32C... Also the Case ambient temps were 30C and now are 28C... Under load the CPU used to hit 69C, it now hits only 60C... This is using the same cooler as was used with the 3770K. So this CPU does appear to have a significant thermal advantage over the 3rd Gen i7 3770K...** This might be important if you are building a micro PC... Keep in mind these temps are at stock levels, I did not overclock my 3770K and have not done it on the 4770K... I bought the K option just in case I decided to do it...
This did change my "windows Experience Index" score from a 7.7 for the CPU (on the 3770K) to a 7.8 (on the 4770K)That is on a scale of 1.0-7.9 It did not change any other ratings on the system...
Determine from that what you will, but my actual usage scenario is below...
Keep in Mind, This CPU uses the 1150 Socket, not the 1155, So you will need a Motherboard that supports The 1150 Socket (but will fit CPU coolers designed for 1155 or 1156 sockets)... So if you plan to upgrade you're probably going to need a new Motherboard as well...
This is my real world experience:
I run Windows 7 with Various media programs installed, These include XBMC, MediaBrowser, Media Center Master, Serviio among a few others...
The major task I use this CPU for is simultaneously serving media to 6-8 TVs and keeping my media collection up to date and organized. Honestly an i7 is a bit overkill for this but I wanted to be sure I could handle even the most intense 1080p 3D trans-coding and streaming with all the TVs running at once. I jumped to the i7 4770K from the 3770K and honestly I see no real world difference...
The media does not seem measurably quicker, nor does it raise the quality (I use a discrete video Card for Graphics processing)...
Overall I think this CPU is awesome, but it is a modest jump from the 3770K and if you are on 3rd gen Intel i7 already I would skip the upgrade and stick with what you have, but if you are coming from a Gen 1-2 i7 the upgrade would be worth it... Spending upwards of $400 or more to upgrade (CPU and Motherboard)for a modest improvement just doesn't seem like a great value, but the significant improvements from the older Gen 1/2 i7's would make it worth the upgrade.
4 Stars for the Modest advancement, had this really made an impact in my home theater setup I could have given it 5 stars.

Great CPU
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2014Verified Purchase
Really happy with this model, I almost bought a Ivybridge 3770K but the price difference was not huge at all to upgrade my build. using this with the Asus ROG Maximus extreme VI motherboard and it's flawless.
I was a little unhappy with cooling as I saw with my H100i would sit the temp at 37C for the core when at full load, I looked up and found out this has the same cheap Thermal cement Intel used for the Ivybridge, but upon removing the UHI on the cpu and then replacing the cement with Shin-etsu thermal paste ( which is hard to get... ) the temp fell to a nice 28C when at full throttle.
I have been able to clock this cpu to 5.4GHz with no issue the temp now sits at 45C at full throttle. and oh boy... is it fast. and I recon it can be clocked by a mere 0.4 more but I don't feel comfortable doing so till I have a custom water rig and a better understanding of overclocking.
Great CPU and if you want to know how to remove the UHI from a Haswell or Ivybridge then go to youtube. or buy the ARK series CPU ( haswell with better thermal paste and a teeny bit faster )

Boot up time is a little faster, runs a hell of a lot cooler and thanks to this CPU alone I now have a windows rating of 7.9, which I didn't think was too bad...
Would recommend, even though the price is a little steep, it was worth saving up for it for a little longer. Though I would say that the differences between this and a mid range i5 is not noticeable if you are only gaming. For people who only want to game and general use, save your money, buy and i5 and put the money you saved towards a better GPU as that is what most games run on, the GPU not the CPU so much. Though if you're like me and looking to buy this for renderings 3D models etc, as well as gaming and general use, then look no further.

For people who only want to game and general use, save your money, buy and i5 and put the money you saved towards a better GPU as that is what most games run on, the GPU not the CPU so much. Though if you're like me and looking to buy this for renderings 3D models etc, as well as gaming and general use, then look no further.
