    not bad RM760

    very limited units for 4790K, first batch all sold out

    worth spending like RM300 more for 4790K?

    If you are building a gaming pc, nope. I'm not sure how well 4690k overclocks, if it is not that great, why not consider the older xeon 1230v3 which is a 4770 but at lower clock speed, same price as a 4690k.

    overclocking my main factor now, thats why i wana buy the "K" cpu and yea not many talk about 4690K at all :shifty:

    now my plan is 4690K, gigabyte gaming 7, seasonic G650 and noctua NH-U12S or U14S..this few item alone blow a hole in my pocket haha

    If you don't mind burning your pocket, 4790k is definitely the choice. Definitely no binning since that's the highest end Haswell. Haha

    Not that great in terms of overclocking, which is why you should try something different and be adventurous, like getting the 4690k or even the Pentium anniversary edition. Like you said, we only live once. Haha

    Personally, I don't think this is the best generation to get the highest end processor, not haswell. That's my opinion. Lol

    What are you using now?

    using amd phenom II x2 550BE unlocked to quad and oced to 3.4

    broadwell or skylake whatever name it is i think thats where we see something new or more exciting but thats next year..from where im upgrading from its massive..its huge jump :mrgreen:

    I think you should get the G3258, overclock for the heck of it, not the greatest performer, but it will still be faster and cooler than your Phenom for sure.

    I'm using G3220, and it's pretty good for a dual core. Wait for Broadwell and upgrade later. :mrgreen:

    after one month bored with 4790k can buy G3258 and play with it :mrgreen:

    read that someone with xigmatek dark knight cooler cannot get it to work on Z97 motherboard, hopefully mine xigmatek balder which have the kinda same mounting mechanism can fit :?

    I don't think that's true. The mounting for all those sockets are identical. I can mount the same waterblock previously on Socket 1156 to 1150 now.

    The only reason left is clearance issue, but that should not apply to all mobo.
