If you don't overclock , you should buy i7 4790k.
With 4.4GHz turbo boost , it's more powerful than an OCed i7 4770k
_Ancient CPUs such as Core 2 Quad or first gen "non k" i3/i5/i7 or AMD Phenom II : overclock them will damage the whole system (BCLK OC) . However , CPU will last more than 10 years as long as you don't go overboard with Vcore (Vcore must be lower than 1.35V)
_Modern CPUs such as second gen "k" i5/i7 , AMD FX-series : overclock them won't damage your system (CPU ratio / multipler OC). CPU will last more than 10 years as long as you don't go overboard with Vcore

Quote:they said overclocking can be dangerous and damaging to your CPUDepends on the CPU and mobo generation .
