Want to decide between the two. Which of them is going to heat more up under normal usage with stock fan and without overclocking? I have read posts on Amazon, that are concerned with the i7 runs very hot, whereas i5 runs cool.

Both processors run similarly in terms of temperatures. The stock cooler is pretty bad and I would run either processor with Evo 212 at least.

The 4790K will run noticeably more hot, because of hyper threading and 500 MHz more.
