Intel Core "Devil's Canyon" Quad-core Processors Begin Shipping
Launched for pre-order on the side-lines of Computex 2014, Intel's flagship quad-core processors for the LGA1150 platform, codenamed "Devil's Canyon," are now shipping from retailers, and can be bought off the shelf on ground stores. Based on the 22 nm "Haswell Refresh" silicon, these chips are designed for overclocking, featuring higher voltage limits, packages designed to tolerate higher voltage, stronger electricals, and an improved thermal interface material between the die and IHS.
The series includes the Core i5-4690K, and the Core i7-4790K. The i5-4690K is clocked at 3.50 GHz, with Turbo Boost frequencies of 3.90 GHz, and features 6 MB of L3 cache. The i7-4790K, on the other hand, is the first Intel Core processor to ship with out of the box clock speed of 4.00 GHz, and Turbo Boost speeds of 4.40 GHz. It features 8 MB of L3 cache, and HyperThreading, which enables eight logical CPUs for the OS to deal with. The i5-4690K is priced at US $250, and the i7-4790K at $350.

I bought my 4770k last year in Caseking - good store ships across EU and quite cheap.
for Pentium here in US.....
So much for that special treatment....
All in all upgrade was good and currently looking to upgrade my RAM with something better.
Idle temp of my CPU is 16-18 degrees Celsius at stock in my room which is 22 degrees Celsius.
No point in overclocking as I'm already at 4GHz. :D
Also I'm using a Water Cooler, not Air Cooler, and if it helps I am using Diamond nano based thermal paste between CPU and Cooling Block.
Exact readings with my machine in idle and at stock is that I have is 21.4 degrees Celsius from Alarm Sensor for Room Temperature, from Gigabyte - SIV software it is 18 degrees Celsius for CPU and 26 for System.
If you still think this is wrong you can always argue the accuracy of my Alarm Clock's Sensor (and perhaps where it is placed in my room) and the temperature software for my motherboard.
RealTemp works really well for a lot of us.
I have one of each now, but I don't expect to see much difference between the two.
As a side note, I had another i5 CPU (4670K) and board already when I bought this CPU. So I ordered another board for the 4670K CPU so I could build two systems.
I got to looking at my original board's (MSI Z87 Gaming G45) CPU compatibility and I can't use the 4690K with it.
But the other board (ASRock Z87 Fatal1ty Killer) has a BIOS update that works with it. It was just dumb luck that it worked out at all.
