what you need 5ghz for? 4.5ghz is plenty

Been asked many times before.
8 Pack systems take the über chips, Infinity the very good ones, and so on. OcUK get much more value from them that way, and of course they control all the elements/components to make sure they get the best speed/reliability ratio.

HIT IT!!!!

Whilst this is great for 8pack systems it only takes a competitor to offer binnded CPU's and bespoke systems will fall by the wayside.

Just waiting for that magic email telling me my order has been shipped. Quite looking forward to building my new box, my old QX6700, Asus P5Q and 4GB of RAM are a bit long in the tooth now!
I wonder when they're getting more stock in...

Results seem to be subjective, mobo, cooling used etc. The thread is for each user to post their overclocks and user experience not just mine.
I reach 4.9Ghz stable, with much lower temps than my 4770K. At stock settings my chip doesn't even go much past 60c. Results can be found throughout the thread.
Awesome lil chip imho, highly recommend

When you say stable boom at 4.9ghz what tests have you run?
Something just dawned on me.
The current crop of 4770k chips are mostly awful clockers.
4.2-4.3 if your lucky.
Well it's no wonder if Intel has been keeping the good ones for DC for 10 months.
Seems that buying DC guarantees you an easy 4.6GHz+ OC.
Most top out at 4.7 -4.8
Unless your Boomstick and you get a CB r15 stable 4.9.
BTW
None of the ES chips could do 4.8 CB r15, so you got a cherry.
That's why I asked you to run it.

I still think the temps on dc are not to great

I take it your CPU is OK after you give it a clout.
Got it reassembled with some LM yet ?

A run at 4.7ghz

Got my k2 cooler back on. So far just ran intel XTU. vcore showing as 1.248 @load, (1.216 idle). Max temps of 67-69-68-62. Ill need to retune the cpu fans in ai suite as they werent spinning all that fast. Though normally with benches like that ill have them running full speed.

good temps rpg,52c max
judging from setters temps/clock/voltage you seem to have knocked off a good 18c
