Hello

This is Probbaley a really stupid question to all the computer pros out there: I was wondering if my Asus Maximus Vi Hero would be compatible with the Intel i7 4790?

I already have the i7 4770 but the other one seemed a lot better (Im still learning stuff) could someone please examine to me the differences and if I should just stick wig my current CPU?

Thanks
Jack

Yes , it will work fine as you can see the compatibility list here

You can see the performance difference between the i7-4790 and the i7-4770 here

And if you have the 4770k , here

Note , that these are only benchmarks and numbers that have been takes from averages , you will most likely not notice a tangible difference between them (During gameplay that is , for cpu intensive applications , it may help a little ,although still very very small)
