Review of the Intel Core i7 4790K Haswell refresh. The processor feels a lot more stable and gamer friendly with the much lower temps thanks to the addition of the new TIM in place which once again we feel was a major good move by Intel to correct a very big issue. This allows even air-cooled gamers to now have an even more silent system while still offering blazingly fast performance. The other side of the coin on this point is that on extreme cooled efforts these chips seem to be less responsive and a bit less capable but we will wait for some BIOS revisions and more OC related boards to fully pass judgement on this specific issue. The New Devils Canyon CPU is a very nice upgrade to the Intel stable. Bringing a default speed of 4.0GHz to the table and up to 4.4GHz means the need to overclock for a gamer is even further negated than we have seen before.
