4.8Ghz @ 1.35v
Max temp reported during 3D Mark 11 was 80c. This is a night and day difference from my 4770K which would have probably melted at this speed / volts.

What mobo are you using Boom Stick?
Cheers mate
Just installing windows on this one. Quite a step up from my Q6600
Thinking in doing exactly the same update... I barely play games nowadays, though. I have to control my consumerism...

Wprime @ 4.8Ghz. Max temp 67c
That is quite impressive. I just run same bench on my 4770K @4.4 with auto vcore of 1.264 and got roughly same temps.

Nice one, share your results bud
Someone with decent water setup is bound to hit 5Ghz on these?

Interested to hear your thoughts. I've gone with the Q6600 to i7 4790k upgrade myself. Awaiting System build.

Just got mine installed, will fire up some stock benches and see what it clocks like
Upgraded from a 3770k (never overclocked) and ASrock Z77 Fatal1ty Pro. 4790k is around 5c cooler than my stock 3770k using the Noctua D14 so I'm very pleased with that.
Now using the Asus Z97 Deluxe, very nice board and my first Asus, love the UEFI, very clean
This was a straight board/CPU swap on a 1yr old install of Windows 8.1 (.1 was installed over the top of 8)
Everything so far is rock solid. This bench was done using the Asus MultiCore Enhancement feature, so the CPU was running at 4.4ghz throughout, and I did change the BLCK to 100.1. Running it at the default 100, programs kept reporting it as 99.9, even with the spread spectrum disabled, it was annoying me
Thermal paste is Coollaboratory Liquid Pro, Noctua D14 with 2x 120mm 1x 140mm Noctua fans. Room temp @ 26c.

Well well well...
I just run wPrime with 4790K @ 4.4Ghz after doing exact same bench on 4770K at same frequency...
Exact same temps on all 4 cores. 68, 67, 68, 64
This is with a reasonably good cpu only custom water loop. Hmmm only difference I ran out of Gelid Xtreme so used EK's own TIM. But I can't see that dropping temps all that much!!! Pretty poor.

I let the board do all the work, but running at 4.4ghz at load on all 4 cores, the voltage was 1.26v according to Core Temp. Stays at 0.76v when idle.

Really??
This is stock btw, it's using 1.36v and temps on 1 R15 run is mid 70s (custom water....yeah right!!)

Yeah very happy with it, beat my expectations.
This def feels like Haswell done right, wonder if along with the extra cores and cache will the Haswell -E line will have these same improvements.. The E chips are going to be monsters
That is awful. Worse or the same OC potential as the 4770k, temps seems to vary drasticly between chips, I guess Intel QC is still **** then. What was the point of this refresh again?
