I was reading mixed reviews about the i7 4770k some saying it often overheats and thottles even at stock voltages. I know it is a different platform than z77 with Ivy Bridge. And I use an Ivy bridge at stock and it can get somewhat hot. So if you anyone have the 4770k and had overheating problems let me know. And would you recommend this proccesor over the 3770k or 4820k?
Does the i7 4770k overheat too much?

Actually i7 3770k is strong enough for 2-3 years , so if you looking for an upgrade on i7 3770k , its not recommended .
YEah Intel 4th Gen haswell runs pretty much hot , it does need an after market cooler .If you are into overclocking cosair H80 and above is recommended .
And if you REALY, i mean realllly want to upgrade get i7 4770k or i5 4670k [ is not rendering video editing etc ]

Hi, the 4770k doesn't run hot unless you are overclocking, it will max at around 70-75C on stock cooler if you leave the voltages on auto which is perfectly reasonable and well within specifications. If you manually set voltage in bios to something like 1.02-1.07V (as when it boosts it seemed to just give it 1.15-1.2V which is a lot more than necessary, depends on mobo I guess), you can actually get it to run a lot cooler anyway. For overclocking, unless you are going over 4.4Ghz you shouldn't need anything more than say a 212 evo or equivalent to keep it at these temperatures.
It is better than 3770k by 2-10% depending on what you are doing so not worth an upgrade.
