How we filter
Every feed has its own filter, tuned by hand for this one part. Before any change goes live, those filters are tested against thousands of real eBay listing titles. Every night, each feed is checked against every other deal page in its category, so a listing for a different part that slips in gets flagged and fixed instead of quietly shown.
Of the 39 listings we observed for this game in the last 30 days, we filtered out 35 of 39 (~90%) for quality reasons. The remaining 4 are what we'd actually surface.
- 18 matched a bootleg / out-of-scope keyword
- 10 shipped from a region we exclude
- 6 priced below our floor (too good to be true)
- 1 caught by a junk-listing guard
What the feed excludes
An eBay search for Intel Core i7-4790K returns far more than the part itself: laptop chips, mining rigs, coolers, empty boxes and whole PCs all mention it in their titles. These are the 52 terms we filter out to keep this feed to the real thing. A listing whose title contains any of them never reaches the feed, the price table or an alert. Many look unrelated to Intel Core i7-4790K because they are: that's the noise.

Core i7-4790K: buyer & reseller spec sheet
Exact SKU identity. The 4790K is a 4-core, 8-thread unlocked desktop processor for the LGA1150 socket, often called "Devil's Canyon". It shares a name with the non-K 4790 and the low-power 4790T, which are different purchases; the feed requires "4790K" in the title and drops listings that name those siblings. Used titles often quote the S-spec SR219, a useful cross-check against the markings on the heat spreader in the photos.
Variants & value impact. Retail boxed copies (BX-prefixed part numbers) and loose pulled chips both appear. Loose chips usually come without a cooler or packaging, and the original box is one source of the asking-price spread. Open box listings are counted with New on this page, so read the description to see whether the chip was installed.
Listing traps. New-condition listings from third-party sellers are often priced far above used asking prices, so compare against the Used chip before treating them as a deal. Motherboard-plus-CPU combos, prebuilt systems (including all-in-one Macs that list the chip in the title) and multi-model "compatible" listings also carry the 4790K name as the headline part; they are excluded by title wording and the price ceiling. Check your motherboard's BIOS support for this exact chip before buying.
Buying a used processor: what to check
These checks apply to every processor on our CPU pages. The item notes above cover what is specific to this model.
Used
- Ask for a clear, close photo of the pins or contact pads, wherever the socket keeps them. Bent pins are the most common failure.
- Confirm the model printed on the heat spreader matches the listing, and ask for a screenshot of the chip identified in the OS or BIOS.
- Ask whether it was overclocked or delidded. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both should be disclosed.
Refurbished
- Find out who tested it and what the return window is.
New
- Check whether it is a boxed retail chip or a tray chip. Tray chips usually ship without a cooler and with a different warranty.
