I bought one of these last week to replace my Haswell Pentium G chip on my LGA1150 motherboard. I am very pleased with the performance boost. There's a bonus in the reduced power consumption too. The official Intel ARK link is here: http://ark.intel.com/products/80809/Intel-Core-i7-4790T-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz

This quad core 8 thread i7 has a TDP of 45W and typical power consumption of just 36W. There are only 'mini' reviews of this particular processor online, but they both sing high praise of it:
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18630657
http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2390156

CEX says there are 18 left in stock online. Mine came in very basic bubblewrap but has no signs of 'use'. After plenty of testing in the last week I'm happy there's no issues with it and also you get a 2yr warranty with these guys, which is some reassurance rather than getting a used component from your average eBayer.

There's not much that can go wrong with a non-k Intel CPU. They can't be overclocked so there's no issues of abuse there. You'll know pretty soon after installing it if it's faulty or not (and so should CEX if it's properly tested).

What exactly isn't a "good idea" with buying a used, locked Intel CPU?

They either work or they don't so when it arrives if it's working it'll probably be fine for another 5 or 10 years. Overclocked CPU's might be a cause for concern of course but even overclocking may only reduce the lifespan by 50% and a CPU may well last 10 to 20 years although it'll be of little use in 20 years time.

Reduced power consumption = Reduced performance, but should still give decent speeds.

Good price

Intel makes very powerful processors and I can't see any problems with you using this one. CPUs don't generally die unless they've been overheated which is rare. As long as its properly cooled, CPUs are generally immortal. Hell, I had an old Core2Duo 1.8GHz in a box, unpackaged with other junk in it for about 3 years. As a joke, I cleaned it off with windex, dried it, popped it into a socket 775 motherboard and it fired right up perfectly. CPUs are extremely durable.

Actually, it isn't that bad. The used computer parts that you should never buy are usually PSUs and Hard Drives.

A CPU is without any doubt THE most reliable component of a PC.
Ask yourself seriously, how many processors have you ever had fail in your lifetime? Excluding ones that havent had sufficient cooling and therefore overheated, and/or ones that have been subjected to harsh overvolting/overclocking (this wouldnt even apply to this processor as it is core locked).

I have had ONE processor fail on me - an AMD Duron 1300Mhz about 17 years ago, And the reason? I put the heatsink on the wrong way round.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 2nd hand processor, provided the pins are intact.

how it compares with my i5 4690k?

Not that much better. Also you can't overclock this unlike your 4690k.
