I would wait on the reviews of the devils canyon cpu befoe spending any cash on z97.
The new chips might not overclock any better on average. They might just have better tim in which case if you already have a chip that can do 4.5-4.7ghz. I think waiting would be smart.
How does your 4670k overclock? If you have a poor overclocker this may be an ok purchase.Originally Posted by Caos
I now have a msi mpower Z87 and I want to change the mpower z97, I use a 4670k and when the devil canyon appears to make the switch to a 4790k or 4690k
are saying? Thank you.

If you have a SSD, a decent GPU, and enough ram, you are set.

If you are still using a 1080p screen, and you have a bunch of money burning a hole in your pocket, go get a 1440p screen.

As far as I know the Z87 MPOWER will support Devil's Canyon, aslong as it gets an BIOS update for it. ECS, ASUS and EVGA have already updated their BIOS's. The only 2 features that the Z97 MPOWER has is the new "ESDGuard" and M.2 support but has 8 less power phases, no Wi-Fi and no bluetooth support. Not worth it.

I don't think the upgrades were for DC i think they were for haswell refresh non K. from what I understand the 4790k and 4690k will have the VRM taken off the chip and those responsibility will be handled by the mobo. The Z87 chips were not designed to handle the voltage regulation since they were designed for the haswell processor which had the on board vrm. that's why intel says DC is supported only by 9 series boards.Originally Posted by Phuuz
