Whats best for me Air Cooling or Water cooling (for 4790k!)

Looks good!

Turbo works like this, 4.4GHz for 1 core, 4.3GHz for 2 cores, 4.2GHz for 3 cores, and 4.1GHz for 4 cores under default turbo rules. In your EFI/BIOS, you should have a setting to unlock or sync turbo frequencies. Keep in mind that Intel does this to meet their power consumption specs for OEM ratings which is why it works this way. There's some articles out there if you need more info, but really I think all you want to do is get your i7 operating the same on all cores and I don't blame you.

I have a Asus Z87-Pro, I'll try to look up the value to change when I get home...it'll allow all 4 cores to run at max turbo (stock is 4.4GHz). Your temps and power consumption will increase a little further, but its worth it IMHO.

Edit... I did a quick Google and found that it is the Asus Multicore Enhancement setting you need to enable if your board has it. I have attached a screenshot I found from that Google search for reference.

Nice work!

OK, I went to the BIOS, but couldn't find anything! it seems that feature is exclusive to the Z series and my mother board ( H Series) doesn't support it.

Sorry to hear that, but not all that surprising.

That's okay, really you probably won't notice unless it is the difference between a 20FPS game and 30FPS game, which isn't likely. Not setting it will keep your power consumption within spec, and your heat output down, so that'll be good come summertime anyways.

You can always keep an eye out for another Z87 or Z97 board. I've had this Z87 Pro since June 2013 and it still gets the job done without any issues. It's a full size ATX board though not sure if your case can house an ATX board or not or if it's worth it to you to replace the board. If you ever decide to overclock, I'd definitely go Z87 or Z97. Whichever you can get for a better deal, but make sure if you buy Z87, that it has the most recent BIOS/EFI update so you don't run into a bug where it might not boot with the 4790K Devils Canyon chip.
