About this product

Product Information

Equip a gaming or professional desktop computer with a worthy workhorse by installing the Intel Core i5-4690 (BX80646I54690K) 3.50 GHz processor. Released in the second quarter of 2014, this component was designed and distributed by the Intel Corporation. These CPUs come unlocked, meaning that users can engage in overclocking and reach higher performance speeds. Offering a suite of advanced features and technologies, the 3.50 GHz 4690K is a powerful CPU capable of handling demanding requirements. Serious gamers and media editors will be thrilled by the specifications of the Intel Core i5-4690K. The Intel Core i5-4690K is part of the Haswell Devil’s Canyon series of Intel processors. It has four cores running at a core base frequency of 3.50 GHz. The CPU can be installed on Intel-compatible motherboards equipped with an FCLGA1150 socket. Users can overclock the four threads to reach a clock speed of 3.90 GHz, reaching untold heights of performance. This is made possible by Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, which provides for easy customization of clock speeds for enhanced specifications. Equipped with a 6MB buffer cache, the CPU stores data locally for more efficient information processing and retrieval. This translates into faster read and write sequences when gaming or doing professional work. The sizeable cache is complemented noticeably by a front-side bus (FSB) speed of 5 GT/s DMI2. The fast FSB speed helps the Intel processor rapidly communicate with all connected components through the motherboard. Users can take advantage of the rapid transfer rates of the 4690K to install a plethora of compatible hardware accessories. This includes an ample amount of random access memory (RAM). The core supports up to 32GB of DDR3-1333/1600 or DDR3L 1333/1600 types of RAM. The maximum memory bandwidth is designated as 25.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-4690K can be used with multiple expansions as well, as it supports Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express 2.0. This means that users can run the CPU in tandem with one or more graphics cards. It can be the central component in a system worthy of the most advanced games. Conveniently, the processor comes with an integrated GPU as well. Intel HD Graphics 4600 runs at a graphics base frequency of 350 MHz. It can reach speeds of 1.20 GHz. With 2GB of maximum memory, it has plenty of power to handle graphically intense applications and games. Furthermore, up to three displays can be used with this Intel chip. A large workstation can be created by using this processor, giving professionals and gamers plenty of visual room. High-definition resolutions of up to 3840 by 2160, with a refresh rate of 24 Hz, can be attained. It supports DirectX and OpenGL drivers as well for enhanced anti-aliasing and prevention of jagged disruptions to rendering. It also runs in tandem with Intel Clear Video HD Technology, which provides for clearer and crisper images on-screen. Even with its powerful suite of features, the 3.5 GHz Intel Core i5-4690K keeps temperatures in check. The 64-bit core utilizes power efficiently, and it has a thermal design power (TDP) designation of 88W. It can run at a maximum operating temperature of nearly 163 degrees Fahrenheit. Thermal Monitoring Technologies are installed with the system to ensure that temperatures don’t exceed appropriate levels.

  • Excellent performance/price ratio, great overclock, etc.

    So I replaced a G3258 that was in my gaming PC with this. This was the natural upgrade with my Z97 board. I don't know whether it is because my case has a built in fan or what, but I popped this in, and it overclocked to the default settings I had of 4.4 Ghz (for the G3258.) The temperatures are amazing with just the stock cooler, 70C (full load.) I was expecting to buy an after market cooler, which would've been a hassle to fit in my case, but I am happy to know I don't have to do that now. I put the G3258 in an HTPC, and now I have two systems that feel new. I also only paid $210 for this, which was nice considering I paid $60 for the G3258 last year, and this was retailing something like $240 at the time. So basically I got a G3258 and an i5 4690k for $270. I mostly wanted this CPU because of the performance gains of a quad-core in gaming, but I didn't want to compromise on clock speed (which I like for emulation.) So far I can play multi-threaded games and more quickly perform multi-threaded functions like video rendering.

  • i5-4690K: Tried-and-true CPU for the money...

    If you are just looking to set up a task specific system (gaming, streaming, etc.), jumping to the overclocking/benchmarking world, or a hobbyist simply looking for an excellent CPU with excellent power consumption characteristics to work off of, look no further. This is one of those CPU's you can't go wrong with and is still widely in use.

  • Great quad core drop-in upgrade for people with older systems.

    Great CPU, but you have to realize it's limitations as a quad core processor. I would probably give it 5 stars if it had hyper-threading (which would be really nice), but the price was fair. OCd really easily for me, 4.6GHz stable without increasing voltage, but not everyone will be so lucky. All in all a great drop-in upgrade over my older dual core pentium.

  • Really good CPU for its price.

    Even though adding about $40+ more you can get an i7 chip. But the i5 4690k performs excellently. I can finally run a game without it being choppy, frame lagging. Before I had an FX-6100 oc'd to 4.3ghz. It performed okay for being a 2011chip. But it wasn't satisfactory for the reason it made my game play choppy.

  • Best mid-range LGA 1150 CPU

    Fantastic for an LGA 1150 socket processor. It can be reliably overclocked and performs great for modern games. Paired with a 212 EVO, it stays reliably around 65 C while under a heavy load.

  • good chip value speed reliable all good

    my current processor, best for one of MY systems ive had only wish i held out for a amd cause sometimes they seem faster in games.

  • Great

    Once you get a good CPU like this you won't have to upgrade for a long time. This is now 2 generations outdated but still is a very good CPU. I also over clocked to 4.5 speed thingies on air cooling but turned it down to 4 because there was no point in it since it was already fast enough. Great CPU only problem is it's Ddr3 but that's not a big deal

  • The New Processor I Needed

    I needed a new processor for the gaming PC I'm building. I installed this processor which has overclocking abilities, and it works great.

  • Still running hard after 5+ years from release..

    Even with only 4 cores/threads it plays top games very well with a modest overclocking. My system is actually bottlenecked by the rx580 graphics card at 100% load with this processor at about 50% load on most games I play. Not buying into the ryzen FAD!! Look at benchmarks. These can be had used for half a new AMD chip that is comparable. And, you can keep using that ddr3 ram. With a 120mm AIO, these cpu runs at very acceptable temps. It does thermal throttle with aida64 after 10mins, but not other stress tests. A 240mm radiator with a proper water block would let this chip sustain 4.8ghz all day. Likely even surpass 5ghz. Depending on the rest of the system.

  • Great Processor to upgrade to if you still have socket 1150

    Works great, easy to install not a lot of power draw
