Intel Core i7-4790S Desktop Processor

The Intel Core i7-4790S is a quad-core desktop processor built on the 22nm Haswell architecture with a base frequency of 3.2 GHz. It features 8MB of Smart Cache and a thermal design power of 65W. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 provides display output without a discrete card. The CPU fits the LGA 1150 socket for compatible motherboards.

Suitable for LGA 1150 System Upgrades

This processor suits owners of LGA 1150 motherboards seeking a higher-performance quad-core chip with integrated graphics for everyday workloads. Buyers needing an unlocked multiplier for overclocking should look elsewhere. Systems requiring a different socket type or a lower thermal envelope are not supported by this component.

Standard LGA 1150 Installation Process

Installation follows the standard LGA 1150 procedure: open the socket lever, align the processor notches, place the chip gently, and secure the retention lever. Apply thermal paste before mounting a compatible cooler rated for 65W TDP. The most common issue is bent socket pins on the motherboard, which prevent the system from posting.

  • 2 GHz base clock delivers responsive single-thread speed
  • 65 W TDP keeps thermal output manageable
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 drives displays without a discrete card

Questions about this item

Which LGA 1150 motherboard chipset and BIOS revision are required for the Core i7-4790S to operate?

The processor fits any LGA 1150 socket; the exact chipset and minimum BIOS version depend on the motherboard vendor, so consult that board's CPU support list before purchase.

Will the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 drive a legacy VGA monitor through a motherboard port?

Video output is provided by the motherboard, not the CPU; if the board includes a VGA connector the HD Graphics 4600 can drive it, otherwise a DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort connection is needed.

How can I verify the 3.2 GHz base clock and 65 W TDP are active after installation?

Enter the firmware or use a hardware-monitoring utility in the OS; both should report a 3.2 GHz base frequency and a 65 W thermal design power for the Core i7-4790S.
