We bought the MSI Z 97 gaming motherboard to be the foundation of a new gaming platform for my son using an older Antec full tower case to house it all in. Anyone thinking of building a new system should consider the components listed below. After building the computer and turning on the hardware overclocking feature on the motherboard (OC Genie), loading all the drivers and updating using the MSI updating software, the system is stable, hasn't crashed once, and runs games at blazing speeds. My son says he is getting 100 fps plus from every game he has, while running them at max graphics settings, including a popular new title called "Evolve", where the graphics are just stunning. Some games he is getting over 200fps, wow. I went in and looked at Windows performance module, the 3.5 GHZ CPU we put on the motherboard is overclocked by the hardware to 3.95 GHZ with no stability issues. I have watched him play some of his newer games and the system just makes them look gorgeous, amazing processing power!
Be sure to hook up dedicated 4-pin power from your power supply to the corresponding audio power jumper on the motherboard, lights up red when you start the system and looks really cool, supplies dedicated power to the rear audio jacks. One thing to note in the motherboard installation book it does not tell you which position to set the DIP switch to enable powered audio rear jacks until four pages later than where it tells/shows you which jumper to plug in dedicated power, that info should be on same page in manual.
Remember the graphics card listed below recommends a minimum 750 watt power supply due to the high wattage of the card. I replace my older 500W power supply just to be safe. This is a huge graphics card so make sure you have a full size case to start your build. Another thing make sure you don't have any power cables in the way of the graphics card fans at startup, double check, the fans most be running. At initial startup we had a power cable that that got in the way of one of the fans, but we caught it right away and re-routed it so the fan would spin.
Please note this motherboard does not have any IDE bus ports to support legacy drives, so all your drives must be SATA bus (the modern current bus) to run.
On the motherboard there is a handy jumper connector for the front case wires that comes with the motherboard, you just plug the wires into the connector where labeled and then plug the connector into the jumper set on the motherboard, thank you MSI. Also this was the first computer I have built with a Solid State Drive and the data read/write speeds are indeed impressive. We splurged and bought the keyboard listed below, what can I say I never seen such a cool looking and well built keyboard, the colors and feel of the keys is impressive. This was a great project for me and my son, and the result was a screaming fast new computer which he loves, and was allot cheaper than buying complete from a regular vendor! Total cost was around 1400.00 if I remember right. stcroix_man2002@yahoo.com

The Good: Came in a neat and frustration-free package. Like every Intel chip ever, it's made with a precision that defies belief. Heavy and solid feeling, with no visible manufacturing defects or lines. The i5-4690 is basically a second-gen architecture as of the time of this writing, using the most current of techniques, so it strikes a nice balance. Anecdotally, it performs better than the i7 series in some regards though it doesn't compete in terms of raw power under the hood. It handles overclocking very well; I'm currently OC'd at about 30% over stock, and while I've been able to push it to 4.7 or 4.8 ghz, that's when it starts to come off the rails for me a bit. It's been very stable at 4.6ghz for me and my water-cooled system with 3 radiators keeps it at a balmy 40c under full load. PerformanceTest rated this under load's CPU Mark as slightly better than an i7-3720, though well below the 5820K, with a total result of 9658.
The Bad: Not so much a bad as a limitation, over 4.6 ghz this CPU is prone to load errors and starts crashing unexpectedly.
Improvements: Way outside of my baliwick, so no improvements to mention.
TL;DR: A bit better than an i7 in a select few fields, though not as powerful overall; still, it overclocks like a champ and the price is well worth bumping down from the i7 for anything less than the most demanding of performance hunters, and it's very OC friendly.
If you're looking to build a gaming PC, you should definitely choose this processor. I highly recommend getting an aftermarket cooler either air or liquid cooling for overclocking. Overall, the i5 4690k is not to be underestimated and overlooked. Enjoy.

古いチップとはいえ4コアで3.5-3.9ギガのスピードがあるのでビジネスユースなら今でも十分に使える印象です
Buen procesador!!!
y sobre todo estamos comprando ala marca en directo que es lo que me hizo confiar aun mas en amazon y no por terceros que quedan mal o algo por el estilo.
Lo elegí comprarlo aqui en realidad por el precio que tiene (accesible), sin embargo habian lugares en mi estado donde rondaban 2mil pesos mas y pues la elección se inclinó con amazon.
Saludos desde Tabasco, Mexico...
Recomendado al 100% compren con las marcas directas es mejor y confiable !!!

Installation was straight forward and it worked flawless out of the box. Comes with a stock intel Core cooler as well with pre applied Heat sync to get started. I used a third party cooler. The little one it comes with is probably good for default use but if you are overclocking will probably want something better. But its nice they throw it in, Always good to have spare,
Comes with Instructions and info, The Intel sticker was on back of the manual just in case anyone is looking for it.
Fastest and smoothest core i ever owned! Can push it a bit more as well. Running @4.4 with l;ow temps and stable.
The processor arrives in a very small box, with just the processor, a basic heatsink and some instructional booklets.
- Oh a cool intel sticker
Once in the box the processor can be removed from it's protective plastic casing along with the heatsink.
Installing the processor is a simple affair, just stick it into a compatible motherboard, lower the cover and bam! It's installed.
If you use the stock cooler, then you just fasten that over the top, depress the clips, plug in and you're done! Otherwise, it's best to follow your cooler's instructions. You will most likely need some thermal paste, this stuff is great: Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound 3.5g Tube .
The processor is fast and efficient. It barely generates any heat for how hard it clearly works. It multi-tasks like a dream and will never really lag. It works well for more processor intensive applications too!
If you are looking to overclock, I'm sure you already have an idea on how to do so. This processor is perfect for overclocking. It's easy and really simple to do as this is an unlocked processor.
Overall, a fantastic product suited to general use of computers with a spot of gaming or photo-shopping etc. Thumbs up!
