Is this sample an average clocker?

i believe most x99 chips get to 4.5 but getting 4.7 is lot lower percentage

i can get 4.6ghz on my 5930K but 4.7 fails, probably due to the 32gb ram

. maybe i got a bad Memory controller, also i never went over 1.3 i got 4.6ghz on 1.288V
also its not really worth it over 4.5 to be honest unless for Epeen

That's great, mine requires 1.275V for 4.6 IBT stability.

That's great pal , my 5820k needs a whopping 1.388v to reach 4.6 , while I can bench with that it's far from any form of stable . When my Shizz goes under a custom loop next week I won't settle for any less than 4.7 sod the voltage
