Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 LGA 1150 BX80646I54690K

This CPU is maybe one one the best mid-range CPU to date, even after 2 years. Goodbye, rare i3-4170. I will miss you... For gaming? Jest what it say's, 4 cores, 4 threads, default clock at 3.5GHz and boost all the way up to 4.1GHz, all 4 cores by some overclocking. Even without the overclocking it can run the modern games well. Even pair up with the high end GPU's today's and you have a amazing setup. But if you going to do that I will get a much more bigger PSU for wattage power and some cooling solutions too. It will get very hot under heavy load. For work purposes? Well, for like Microsoft PowerPoint or Word then it will run flawlessly. Light video editing? Runs very well. Light, medium and somewhat heavy applications for working should be fine. But if you want to do an extreme programs like rendering photos at a very high resolution or compressing long videos then I will look foward to an Haswell i7... If you have a 1150 socket motherboard of course. Yea, you can do it with this processor but it's on the "minimum" requirements specs. For the price it's alright... The average price price for these processors is 230 USD - 240 USD. Same as the i5 - 6600K for the new skylake processor that is similar as the 4690K. Which is the 6600K is a bit more faster the 4690K if you look up some benchmarks for the two CPU's. But maybe the price will lower by the end of this year. Maybe... -If you want to upgrade to an i5 and you have an 1150 socket motherboard, get this processor along with a good CPU heat-sink. -Building a mid to high end gaming PC that is under 800 - 1,000 USD, get this processor along with a good CPU heat-sink. -Have a work station that can support haswell's CPU's but the station have an i3 in it and want to upgrade but without spending too much money, Get this CPU... And maybe a heat sink if you want to overclock. There is still some life left for this little guy, thanks Intel!

Excelente!

I'm not going to spend too much time repeating what everyone else has. The processor is great. Coming from a laptop with 2.7Ghz Turbo, this this is amazingly fast. Even after accidentally touching part of the already applied thermal grease, I still get idle temps of 35 degrees C. Under full load it tops off at about 75 C with the stock cooler. The heatsink/fan in teh box is super easy to install.. you'll have to unwrap the fan wire from the clips, then you just rotate all the tabs to the right and click them into the board. No screwdriver needed. I have noticed if I leave the power management in windows to balanced, you will get better bursting out of this cpu if you are not overclocking. It indeed does clock to 3.85 in task manager, but under high performance mode it remains at a constant 3.65. Installation was easy and so far I have no had any problems. Until I get paid again I have been using integrated graphics. Minecraft works very well on fancy pushed as far as it will go. Warthunder gets 35 fps on medium, and Planetside2 gets good frames if it is set to potato quality. Would definitely recommend. You can't go wrong with Intel. (Another side note, I installled mine in the Gigabyte GA-Z97M-DS3H motherboard with 2x 4GB Kingston Hyperx Fury ram, and had no issues at all.)

Hi guys I normally don't write too many reviews for lack of time, but felt compelled to share about this hardware and the system my son and I built after seeing the result! This review was written on 02/21/2015... We bought the MSI Z 97 gaming motherboard to be the foundation of a new gaming platform for my son using an older Antec full tower case to house it all in. Anyone thinking of building a new system should consider the components listed below. After building the computer and turning on the hardware overclocking feature on the motherboard (OC Genie), loading all the drivers and updating using the MSI updating software, the system is stable, hasn't crashed once, and runs games at blazing speeds. My son says he is getting 100 fps plus from every game he has, while running them at max graphics settings, including a popular new title called "Evolve", where the graphics are just stunning. Some games he is getting over 200fps, wow. I went in and looked at Windows performance module, the 3.5 GHZ CPU we put on the motherboard is overclocked by the hardware to 3.95 GHZ with no stability issues. I have watched him play some of his newer games and the system just makes them look gorgeous, amazing processing power! Be sure to hook up dedicated 4-pin power from your power supply to the corresponding audio power jumper on the motherboard, lights up red when you start the system and looks really cool, supplies dedicated power to the rear audio jacks. One thing to note in the motherboard installation book it does not tell you which position to set the DIP switch to enable powered audio rear jacks until four pages later than where it tells/shows you which jumper to plug in dedicated power, that info should be on same page in manual. Remember the graphics card listed below recommends a minimum 750 watt power supply due to the high wattage of the card. I replace my older 500W power supply just to be safe. This is a huge graphics card so make sure you have a full size case to start your build. Another thing make sure you don't have any power cables in the way of the graphics card fans at startup, double check, the fans most be running. At initial startup we had a power cable that that got in the way of one of the fans, but we caught it right away and re-routed it so the fan would spin. Please note this motherboard does not have any IDE bus ports to support legacy drives, so all your drives must be SATA bus (the modern current bus) to run. On the motherboard there is a handy jumper connector for the front case wires that comes with the motherboard, you just plug the wires into the connector where labeled and then plug the connector into the jumper set on the motherboard, thank you MSI. Also this was the first computer I have built with a Solid State Drive and the data read/write speeds are indeed impressive. We splurged and bought the keyboard listed below, what can I say I never seen such a cool looking and well built keyboard, the colors and feel of the keys is impressive. This was a great project for me and my son, and the result was a screaming fast new computer which he loves, and was allot cheaper than buying complete from a regular vendor! Total cost was around 1400.00 if I remember right.

Quedé fascinado con esta pagina Amazon, a pesar de que es mi primera compra aqui, lo pedi un lunes y el miercoles estaba en la puerta de mi casa. Buen procesador!!! y sobre todo estamos comprando ala marca en directo que es lo que me hizo confiar aun mas en amazon y no por terceros que quedan mal o algo por el estilo. Lo elegí comprarlo aqui en realidad por el precio que tiene (accesible), sin embargo habian lugares en mi estado donde rondaban 2mil pesos mas y pues la elección se inclinó con amazon. Saludos desde Tabasco, Mexico... Recomendado al 100% compren con las marcas directas es mejor y confiable !!!

お金が貯まったので、ようやく「Pentium G3258」から乗り換えました。 マルチタスクでの作業や、動画のエンコードをはじめとした高負荷な作業で、その性能を思う存分に発揮してくれます。さすがは4コアCPUですね。 CPUのオーバークロックについてですが、マザーボードは「ASUS Z87-PRO」を、CPUクーラーとCPUグリスは付属のリテール品を使用していますが、4.2GHzで常用安定です。動画のエンコード中もエラーを吐いたり、落ちることもありません。もう少し良いクーラーなら他の方のレビュー通り、さらに高クロックで常用できるのでしょうが、リテール品でここまでできれば私には事足ります。 ・・・せっかく手に入れたのだから、クーラー買って少し遊んでみたくはなりますねw ここからは上位CPUであるi7-4790Kとの私の主観による比較です。偉そうに語っていますが、許してください。 あくまで参考までにどうぞ。 【動作周波数】 i5-4690Kは3.5GHz(TB時3.9GHz)、i7-4790Kは4.0GHz(TB時4.4GHz)とi7-4790Kのほうが動作周波数が高い。ただし、両者とも4GHz近くであり昔ほど動作周波数の差にこだわる必要は無くなってきているし、もしも通常の動作周波数で低性能だと考えるならばオーバークロックでどうにでもなる。人によってはオーバースペックでもありますしね。 【スレッド数】 両者ともコア数は4である。しかしi7-4790Kはハイパースレッディングテクノロジーにより、スレッド数は8であり、物理的に存在するコアは4であることに間違いはないものの、PCはあたかもコアが8個あるかのように作業をするため、4スレッドCPUに比べ作業効率が120%であるという。ただ、この差は人により大きく違ってくると私は考えている。実際はもう少し複雑なのだろうが、難しいところを省いて簡単に説明すると、同時に多くの作業をPCにさせる用途を考えている人はi7-4790Kを使ったほうが良いし、そうでない人はi5-4690Kを使えば良い、となるのだ。 【キャッシュ】 L3キャッシュにはi5-4690Kは6MB、i7-4790Kは8MBと両者には2MBの差がある。そもそもCPUキャッシュにおけるL1・L2・L3とは、マルチコア技術に密接に関連するのだが、例えば、CPUの内部にコアが4つあるのに、キャッシュの数が少ない場合、いくらそのキャッシュの容量が大きくても、CPUの計算が交錯してしまうため、作業にもたつきが出る。 逆に、4コアの内、1コアだけが、ある程度以上大きな情報を扱う場合は、大きなキャッシュが1つあるという方がうまく出来る場合も考えられる。 こういった作業を効率よく行なう目的で、最近では、キャッシュにL1・L2・L3と手元に近い順にレベルを設け、それぞれに最適な大きさを確保するようになったのだ。 ゆえに、両者ともL1～L3までキャッシュが設けられている点では、どちらも良いCPUといえる。 6MBと8MBという点では、これもやはり用途によって異なってくる(体感的に違いを感じる保証はない)。 とにかくキャッシュがたくさんあって、そのサイズも大きいほど、多くのデータを早く出し入れ出来るのでCPUの計算速度は高速化される。キャッシュが特に影響するのは、同じような計算をひたすら繰り返すような処理の場合で、例えばゲームや高度なグラフィックの表示、動画のエンコードなどだ。基本的には、こうした負荷が高い処理ではキャッシュが多いCPUの方が、動きが早く安定して動作すると言われているので、自分の使用用途をよく考えて選択すると良い。 【内蔵グラフィック】 両者とも「Intel HD Graphics 4600」が採用されているが、きっとこういったレベルのCPUを選択する人はグラフィックボードの導入も検討されているだろうから、多くを語る必要はないと思う。 【消費電力(TDP)】 両者ともオーバークロックモデルのため、TDPを気にする人は少ないと思うが、一応比較しておこう。 i5-4690Kは88W、i7-4790Kは88W。同じであるが、先程も言ったとおり、このCPUを選択するような私たちには、関係のない話だ。 【総評】 結局は「使用用途」によって変わるのだ。 主観的になってしまうが、正直私はi7-4790Kはいらないと思う。本当にプロとして専門的な仕事をする人や、ベンチマークテストを走らせてその結果にニヤニヤするような人以外には、オーバースペックすぎるからだ。 もちろん、i5-4690Kでは事足りないという人にはi7-4790Kは最高の選択であるが、そこは冷静に考えて、かつ自分の財布と相談して決めると良いのかもしれない。 長くなって申し訳ありませんでした。このレビューが商品選択の手助けとなれば嬉しいです。ここまで読んでくださり、ありがとうございました。

Ich habe mir den i5 4690k hier bei Amazon.de bestellt und möchte hier nun meine Meinung zu diesem Produkt beschreiben. Der Versand lief über DHL und erfolgte mehr als schnell! Die maximale Verlustleistung TDP gibt Intel mit 84 Watt an. Nun zum CPU selbst. Der i5 4690k gehört zum "Devil's Canyon" von Intels Haswell-CPU Reihe, welcher jedoch Upgrades zu gerade dieser besitzt. Der Chip selbst ist auf 3,5 GHz getaktet und besitzt eine Boostclock von 3,9 GHz. OK für alle Spiele momentan, auch ohne übertakten. Der CPU besitzt 4 physiaklische Kerne, jedoch kein Hyperthreading, welche selbst unter 100% Last angenehm kühl laufen. Dieses verdanken wir dem "Devil's Canyon" Upgrade des Heatspreaders und der Wärmeleitpaste auf dem Chip selbst. An sich ist der CPU ein sehr guter Deal für diejenigen, die einen Gaming-PC basteln wollen und auf die Hyperthreadingtechnologie eines i7's verzichten können, da weitere virtuelle Kerne nicht viel unterschied beim spielen selbst bringt. Jedenfalls nicht mit den nun aktuellen Spielen. Der CPU kam mit dem üblichen Intel Stock Kühler, welcher schon von Intel mit Wärmeleitpaste versehen wurde. Wer diesen CPU nicht übertakten möchte sollte mit diesem auch schon ausgesorgt haben. Ich habe jedoch sofort einen anderen Kühler eingebaut. Sicher ist sicher! ;) Fazit: In meinen Augen ein extrem solider CPU in diesem Preispunkt den jeder Gamer in seinem PC haben sollte! Falls Euch meine Rezension gefällt würde ich mich über ein "hilfreich" freuen.

This is the best CPU for your high-end gaming needs. This CPU has the power equal to the i7-4790K but the i7 comes with Hyper threading which is not utilized by games yet and it's not expected to be used for the foreseeable future. Get the i5-4690K if: 1)You have a GTX 900 series GPU or any AMD equivalent of it 2) If you don't need the Hyper threading features of the i7-4790K. Get the i7-4790K if: 1) You have the most powerful GPU made till date (GTX 980 TI/ R9 390X) 2) You're a power user and render videos and stream a lot of your games to Twitch which uses the hyper threading feature of the i7 i7 being better for gaming than i5 is just a myth. i7 is definitely better than i5 but for reasons mentioned above which you may or may not use. i7 is right now, only useful for power users. So save your money and get the i5

As per most Intel products, this processor is fantastic, even now - more than a year after its release date. The processor arrives in a very small box, with just the processor, a basic heatsink and some instructional booklets. - Oh a cool intel sticker Once in the box the processor can be removed from it's protective plastic casing along with the heatsink. Installing the processor is a simple affair, just stick it into a compatible motherboard, lower the cover and bam! It's installed. If you use the stock cooler, then you just fasten that over the top, depress the clips, plug in and you're done! Otherwise, it's best to follow your cooler's instructions. You will most likely need some thermal paste, this stuff is great: Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5g Tube . The processor is fast and efficient. It barely generates any heat for how hard it clearly works. It multi-tasks like a dream and will never really lag. It works well for more processor intensive applications too! If you are looking to overclock, I'm sure you already have an idea on how to do so. This processor is perfect for overclocking. It's easy and really simple to do as this is an unlocked processor. Overall, a fantastic product suited to general use of computers with a spot of gaming or photo-shopping etc. Thumbs up!
