I've read that ProDesk 600 sff motherboard supports the Intel core I7-4790k, but im unsure if the 4.00GHz version is supported by the motherboard

Dear NoMoreErrors,

Do I have good news for you!

Yes, the Intel i7-4790K is compatible with your HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF.

There are many User examples available, such as this one: HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF Performance Results - UserBenchmark

[EDIT:] Btw, there is no i7-4760K.  The i7-4770K is also compatible with your rig.

Have a great day!

Dear NoMoreErrors,

[IMPORTANT ADDENDUM:] As pointed out by many others and me in this Forum: HEAT is your enemy.  From personal experience, when switching to a high performance processor, generally MORE HEAT is produced.  Therefore, please monitor your CPU's heat signature as soon as you have installed your CPU upgrade.  For example, you can easily find a free-ware program online to stress your CPU whilst simultaneously checking your CPU's core temperatures using another free-ware program, such as "Speccy" or Intel's XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility).

If it turns out that things get really toasty (>80°C), you should most seriously consider to upgrade your CPU cooling fan(s) and/or heatsink, and even consider to add additional chassis fan(s) to keep the air moving along in your rig.

Just my dime's worth of advise.

Good Luck!

Sincerely,
