is this a haswell chip or not? and is it unlocked?

Yes this is a haswell chip. The k means it is an unlocked version and can be overclocked.

The quad-core Intel Core i7-4770K is the company's new top-end chip based on its Haswell microarchitecture and its second processor built on the 22nm process node. It is unlocked. I am very pleased with its overall preformance.

I am not sure. I have not tried, however I know that the newer cards cannot be unlocked, and this was bought brand new mid February, so doubt that it can to be honest. It can get overclocked.Hope this helps!

I am not certain if that is the right chip for you. You will need to research your motherboard. Try going to the HP web site, since they own Compaq now. I installed it on a ECS A885GM-A2, with 8g of ram and a SSD. The operating system is Linux Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I am curently very happy with the performance.

Not yet. When they do, it will be a winner. Perhaps we'll find out in June. Intel will officially launch their new generation Haswell chips on June 3rd.

Well... your question is a bit confusing. It is a UEFI bios that has ample features for any kinda of use. I currently use this board as a file server running NAS4Free. Has enough power for most internet use.

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's unlocked to use with a chip for another country. I wish I could help you with that question!

I'm going to assume that you are concerned about it supporting the low power state of the Haswell CPU. Whether Rated or not based on the information on the website it will support the super low power state of the Haswell CPU. ON the EVGA Power Supply Webpage they state "Ready for 4th Generation Intel Core Processors (C6/C7 Idle Mode)" Then I checked what Haswell Rated means on Toms and they say "The "Haswell ready" mark is just to indicate that the PSU is capable of supporting the super low power CPU sleep state that haswell introduced, the majority are and most manufacturers are working to label those that are as such. If it doesn't support that super low power sleep state the system will just shut off rather than sleeping properly." I did a search for Haswell and it stated that the super low power saving mode is C6 and C7. I will repeat, certified I don't know but the website for the CPU clearly states that it will support Haswell C6 and C7 sleep modes.

The K model is "unlocked", meaning it can be used for overclocking, if you are so inclined. If you don't want to overclock your processor/system, don't get the K model.

No it is strictly LGA 1150 aka Intel Haswell motherboard, might want to look at the crosshair series of Asus ROG motherboards.

Let me expand my first answer....the Haswell CPU's have Intel 4400 Graphics built in to the CPU chip, so there is not a separate graphic card. It's not astoundingly fast if you are looking to use the board for gaming, but for office work it does fine...and it support two monitors

running a locked cpu I believe that is correct. That is the situation I am in. If I put an unlocked pentium g3258 I think the ram would run at 1600 no problem. I also had to flash the board with an old haswell chip to support newer haswell refresh chips.

It's unlocked, it worked great with Digitel but mine simply stopped working because of the motherboard.

The processor is listed correctly: Core i7-4702HQ (Haswell). What you're talking about are the two clock speeds normal and turbo.

according to the owners manual it is haswell ready and it is the newest version.

It's an obsolete board, the current version (Z97) is much cheaper. I can's imagine why someone would buy this, but if they had a real gem of an 1155 CPU, maybe it's worth it to the right person?

Yes...Haswell architecture. I purchased this mid-July from Amazon, and have had zero issues with it, and no coil whine in my unit. Mine is essentially silent, and has run perfectly since day one. Battery life is excellent, and responsiveness with the SSD is fantastic - this does a cold boot in a few seconds, and wakes from sleep almost instantly. Display is the best I've seen, period. Fantastic machine overall.

No, you have a haswell cpu. this board is for the ivy bridge cpu's. I did reccommend this board earlier, but do not now. have since had a memory controller failure and a few other functions are weak, namely usb 3.0 is not implemented very well.
