How is this for overclocking a i7 4790K in a Asus Maximus VII Hero? Can this handle it??

don't know i'd recommend for OCing a 4790K - in some places noctua sez it's rated for 95 watts, and in others for 65 watts - keep in mind there are only 2 heatpipes

No I use it on my I5 3470k to replace the original it cool it down ,but if I was overclocking , it wouldn't do the job.Your best bet is to find a liquid cooler with a good radiator size that your case will allow. Due to the extra heat that comes when overclocking a processor. Hope this helps!

I don't know. I can tell you that my normal clock I-5 when it is worked moderately hard will raise the CPU temperature and call in the aux fans. I would recommend the NH u9s or greater. You might consider liquid cooling.

Yes this is a 1150 socket motherboard and that means it supports the 4770k. If you haven't purchased the 4770k you should purchase the 4790k due to the better overclocking ability. The motherboard is rog and is top of the line and overclocks above average. Rog is coming out with their extreme z97 motherboards in July if you are willing to wait. Hopefully this answered all your questions ;)

I have this board and the 8350. It works with the latest 2 bios updates, but if you want to overclock you need to get water cooling and a 990fx. I have been able to get 4.4 stable oc, but that is not all that great for this chip, and these chips run a lot hotter than the phenoms did.

I have the i7 4790k and use a 1,000 watt corsaie psu. However 700watts would do fine.

Yes. I currently have my DRAM Voltage at 1.500V. I'm using the 4790K i7 Processor with a Gigabyte Sniper G1 M5 Mobo. As far as higher voltages, I haven't yet done overclocking on my RAM... But that's the plan... I will post again if, when I overclock, it breaks.

I'm not overclocking because i'm using it in a very small case, with almost no space to breath... but i'm pretty sure that in a standard itx case it can handle a little OC. Not anything crazy, as you just pointed.

No problems here. Running it with a 4790K on an MSI Gaming 7 LGA1150 systemboard. Be sure and enable XMP in your BIOS to get the full memory speed.

I've overclocked 2 of these processors the first would do 4.6 and the second will do 4.7 with vcore at a max of 1.4 under full load. Your results might be better or worse, I'm using custom watercooling to keep temps under 70c and an Asus Rampage IV Black.

I can't speak to your cpu/mobo combination and how far you can push this RAM, but I'm running this RAM in a Gigabyte MATX mobo with an AMD 6300, at 8-8-8-24 on 1.5v at 1600MHz. No stability problems or heat issues. In fact, the RAM only gets mildly above room temp. I suspect with a little tweaking, I could easily push this up to 1866MHz or perhaps beyond. That said, Conrad is right in that it's rated for higher than what you've spec'd out, so I doubt you'd have any trouble. I just wish I'd bought 4 sticks (16gb) when it was still $65 a pair (8gb) instead of $85!

I have two machines running i7 4770K chips on an Asus Sabertooth board. I could not get close to 2400Mhz on either one. I Regardless what board you are using, I would imagine you will be upping the voltage.

yes I have the evga x79 dark with a i7 4820k as well water cooler pro 3.0 by thermaltake and it works very nicely, you can overclock it if you want but really is not a need for it. I suggest atleast 8gbs for anything you do though these days don't matter what kind of ram you got its just makes more sense :) gl

This cooler is designed for TDPs of 95W max. The 4790K has a TDP of 88W, so technically this fan should work as long as you leave the speeds at stock, but overclocking is going to put the CPU beyond what this heatsink is designed to handle.

Yes.When in doubt, look at the processor socket and th socket on Motherboard. They should be same.i7 4790K needs a motherboard with LG1150 socket, which this motherboard has

Nick, This motherboard is compatible with the i7 4790k processor, as the motherboard supports the LGA1150 socket. The i7 4790k fits the motherboard socket type so you would be good to go. I have puchased both the Maximus Hero VII and the 4790k processor (upgrading from my i7 960 on a basic intel 1366 board) and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Hope this helps you in your quest for upgrading the rig. Long live the PC master race!

I have no idea what the FC relates to but it should work no problem. I would check the motherboard specs to see if the 4790 is good for it.

Yes, I am using with a i7 4770K. I am using it in an HTPC and needed the limited height. I am not overclocking, if you plan to you might need a larger cooler.

To the best of my knowlesdge, yes. It can be overclocked. I have not done this because running stock is fine for what I do. Just make sure you take into account the extrea cooling required...
