Just about ideal, I would think ... your Z97-A takes1600 or 1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory.

Mine works great with it and I have overclocked. The board is a beast and I have had nothing but a positive experience with it.

I have that mobo. It works. Just change the clock speed to 1866 in the bios and this s*** will be blazing fast.

Yes, it is compatible with your motherboard I checked PcPartpicker.com. I don't know what kind of cpu you have but, check the compatibility on pcpartpicker.com.

Yes, I'm using mine with the Intel Core i5-4690S LGA 1150 for an HTPC application.If the one you purchase comes with the 1.6 bios as mine did, you'll have to flash the Bios & ME file to a later revision.Latest is 1.8.If you don't update the bios and ME file, the board won't boot up properly with the 1150 chipset.I'm using a Samsung SSD as the boot drive and it works without issue.I'm very pleased with the board, etc.

Yes, this board supports the i7-4790k. That's what I'm using in my build. Be careful when installing, though, because this board over clocked it by default without even asking me, so it ran a little hot with the stock cooler. You can set it back to stock clocks in the BIOS.

Should be fine with your CPU - be careful with overclocking though, if you intend to do that. Otherwise, it's a fine motherboard and hasn't given me any issues.

Hi, Yes, it should be plenty fine for your setup. I purchased this motherboard along with the latest Intel Core i7-4790K Processor, 16GB RAM and my son's extreme video card and we are extremely pleased with the performance of this new setup. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Overclocking is really good on this motherboard and sense its a z97 motherboard it goes perfect with a i7 4790k. The i7 4790k is actually better than the i7 4770k when it comes to temperature and overclocking and sense this is a gaming motherboard overclocking is very simple on this board. Also sense this cpu has better heat transfer than other cpu, you can overclock much more and still keep temps pretty low but as for overclocking on this broad is very easy and the bios explains what everything does and also can automatically overclock for you, but at first it may be overwhelming with all the options this mother board gives you but like I said asus does a great job of explaining what everything does on there

No it is not compatible. The 4790K is compatible with Z97 boards and is a socket 1150. Your board has a socket 1155. The socket on the Motherboard has to match the socket of the CPU. This particular CPU is only compatible with a Z97 chipset. Sorry to disappoint you, but that's the way it works.

Yes, but you need the newest Bios Revision. (F9)http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4487I recently upgraded to the 4790K and have had no issues.

The biggest improvement is in the TIM (thermal interface material) which will improve temp's, resulting in a better overclock. Many enthusiast replaced the TIM on the 4670K's and lowered their temps by 10-20*C. I haven't seen any benchmarks published but I would be surprised if there's more than 5% improvement on any of the test. Also, there is an improvement on the integrated graphics.

This processor should work fine with this motherboard. My boy put one of these processors in his computer and it has worked great! This processor is low power 95w if I remember right. No guarantees my friend. If you are buying the chip for under $100 and please remember to replace your mother board battery. Those were my last 3 failures. If you fail buy another motherboard.

Yes, it will work because the motherboard supports Intel's LGA 1150 wich i7 4790k is designed for.

Oh yeah, this is a great motherboard. I over clock an fx6300 and an HD 7950. Good bios and voltage control.

It has an LGA 775 CPU slot and it is compatible with most Core 2 CPU's. I recommend you go on ASRock's website and look up the specific CPU's that this board is compatible with (I made the mistake of not looking first and had to return the first CPU I bought and get another).
