NP means the 4790 non-K model, likely not constrained by OEM motherboard limits, should still work well. It offers a boost of 4.0GHz, which is 100MHz faster than the 4770K baseline. When comparing these specs, you'll be slightly above those numbers. In the first video, it's a 3770K, an older design running at 3.9GHz.
I own a Coolermaster Hyper 212 on the 4790 with CPU set to 4.0GHz all-core constant. It greatly improved system responsiveness, but heat and noise are now my main concerns. I'm searching for a reliable future-proof AIO in South Africa, though supply is currently tight.
Devil's Canyon had consistently high temperatures—possibly due to the TIM under the heat spreader not functioning properly. How intense were the readings?
I’m checking for the latest updates from Intel and AMD. Upgrading my 4790K to an 8700K was a smart move since it couldn’t handle a 1080. I plan to do the same with the GPU, taking advantage of available options even in a tough market.
