I just got mine. 4790k batch L329C244 made in Malaysia.

I just got mine. 4790k batch L329C244 made in Malaysia.
Sig: RIG in process...4790k deliided bare die mounted to ASUS Z97 WS 2xHD7950s all water cooled.
Mine also had the offset CPU in the window of the box. Picked up from Newegg will call today at lunch.
L418C164 made in Malaysia.
What is a good website with a database of current temps and clocks online for the 4790K?
If my 4790k is no better than my 4770k I'm going to return it.
My expectations for my 4790k is 5ghz with no more than 1.45v water cooled. If it is worthy I will delid it. If not I will return for refund for dissatisfaction.

Depends on how high your 2500K is OCed, plus whether you want/need HT and the new platform stuff.Is DC a worthy upgrade to the 2500k?

Assuming a 4.5GHz DC OC, that's roughly equivalent to a 1.1 x 1.03 = 5.1GHz 2600K.
My 2600k is running so sweet @4.5 need to stop thinking about this 4790k. lol

Now I am waiting for my Z97 to arrive...
Can anyone tell me if I might have damaged the CPU by first NAIVELY installing it into my Z87X (UD4H)? It sure did not post, just beep 1 second power off > restart power off etc.
I don't see how, that board should support DC just fine. Did you update to bios F9 before trying?
Edit: Also a F10c beta bios out for that board too.
Is it worth getting this chip over the 4770k. It seems to OC much better
Big question... What is Intel going to put out when Broadwell launches that will seem like an upgrade? Will the 5770k (clocked at a theoretical 3.8ghz) really be able to trump a 4790k? I don't see even the usual 5% jump making up for the clock deficiency.
Wow this shit get's reaaaaaaly hot.
I delidded mine and it dropped 25 degrees at 4.7Ghz with Large FFTs in Prime. Then I started working with Prime95 v28.5 small FFTs at 4.8Ghz/46x cache. 1.3v Core 1.25v Cache. It hit 100C pretty much right away like that... but it didn't crash, I'll just quit pushing this chip until my loop is finished
Devil's Canyon + tiny AIO cooler not good mix.
If I had to guess, this chip is 4.8Ghz stable.
After i installed windows late night i ran newest prime small ffts and hit 95 on stock settings with h100i. Prime is not the best way to test real world loads, x264 keeps it under 65c max.
Yeah, that's a crazy jump in heat. I noticed same problem when I tried it at 4.6Ghz with the lid on. Instant 95C
Looks like the 4790k runs cooler than the 4770k UNLESS you clock it higher than the 4770k's were getting, in which case, Devil's Canyon is an excellent name.
At 4.6Ghz this chip can go really low voltage and run nice and cool (even on prime--75C). 4.8 at 1.3v is a totally different story. hot hot hot
This is not going to work for long term testing anymore. Not at these speeds.
I'll look into an x264 loop but was wanting something like prime for a 2hour burn test or something.
How are your temps on bare die? I considered delidding the beast. I havent OC'd yet, i'll be doing that when i get home from work, ic i can get 4.8ghz under 85c on real world tests and not sythetics i just might keep it as is.
Is DC a worthy upgrade to the 2500k?
what is the x264 stress test you are running? The one I tried I couldn't get to work at all.
Edit: nvm found this link to a good version from OCN. Get's hot as hell with 8 threads but not like p95 28.5 small FFTs.
I'll try using this to drop my vring voltage if I can. I tried bringing down the vcore from 1.3 to 1.29 and it crashed pretty quick on prime 95 28.5 Large FFTs, which doesn't get so crazy hot. I also tried blend. Works fine for the 5 minutes I let it go at 1.3v. But yeah at 4.8Ghz small FFTs is not doable for me with an H55 even delidded, although it's not direct die mounted. I'll try it again once I get the chip on a loop, but that used to be my go to test.
My 4770k can hit 4.5 at 1.325v, anything above that is unstable and only incremental really.definitely. The 4770k is a gamble. Even if Asus wasn't lying on behalf of Intel for the 4770k only 50% of the 4770ks could hit 4.5Ghz. Did they mean post at 4.5 ? Or stable at 4.5?
Youa re pretty much guaranteed a stable 4.5Ghz chip with the 4790k.

I just got the 4790k and testing it out in almost the same machine as mine, to see if its worth it. Currently its running 4.8 at 1.375v. Idle/Regular operations the hottest core is at 38c while an Intel Burn Test set on VERY HIGH runs it at 71c for the hottest core. Seems to be stable when running windows experience + Burn Test for 10 runs.
I am still doing testing, but I also forgot to mention that all 13 fans in my case are running around 700RPM, the case doesnt make much noise. I guess it depends how loud your machine is. I wanted to minimize the noise while retaining good tempsThat's some crazy voltage, some very high idle temps and very low IBT temps.
I'm at 4.8Ghz 1.295v with a cache multi of [email protected] with a delidded chip. I'm idling at 23-26C and IBT on "very high" gets to 90C extremely quickly.
Also, are you referring to IBT temps on your chip being at 90C when the spike occurs (random CPU algorithm test in IBT) or the constant temp before the spike?
