Question 1

Does anyone know if thin mini itx motherboards will support Broadwell chips?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but they must be the supported socket (1150) and chipset  (I have one on a z97/h97 itx board)

Question 2

Whats the difference between this and a i7 4790? apparently it makes less heat... Overclockable? Less power hungry? Whats the "c" for?

Accepted Answer

Less power, yes its Overclockable.i7 5775c 52.81W 	vs  71.5W i7 4790kI have mine OC'd to 4.1 ghz and it outperforms my i7 4790k at 4.7ghz.Why you ask? Less heat...128mb L4 cache that with the iris pro onboard disabled, will work WITH you graphics card be it Nvidia or AMD.With 32 Gb of G.skill Triden X DDR3 2400 and my 4.1ghz overlcock, I am outperforming the i7 5820k X99 chipset as WELL as AMD's 32 core Opteron 6274. These are in real world tests like AIDA 64's benchmarks CPU Queen, CPU PhotoWorxx, CPU AES, FP32 and FP64 Ray Trace.This is a Gamers dream chip, and as well as a casual. Casuals will fire up the Iris Pro 6200 onboard and have a great desktop and streaming experience capable of low-mid settings 1080p.This thing outperforms a 6700k when OC'd because of that 128mb L4 cache. Make sure you have the latest CPU-Z update to view the cache. If you have an up to date Overclocking Motherboard, you can even Overclock the 128mb L4 cache!It comes 1800mhz default, I OC'd mine to 2000mhz, and improved the bandwidth speed between GPU and CPU. Shaving time off of anything if you can is great.So if you can afford it...and can Overclock, it's a no brainer GET THIS CHIP!
