Can the 4930K run at 4.6GHz on air with ease?
They have been posted here: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...i7-4930k-i7-4820k-ivy-bridge-e-review-15.html
If i was a gamer building a rig I would seriously consider a 4770k.
The i7-4820K on the other hand is the star of Intel’s Ivy Bridge lineup for budget-focused users. Most examples should be able to overclock extremely well and it can easily keep up with the i7-4930K in games. So, while it may be tied at the hip to a slightly inferior platform from a connectivity standpoint and looses to an i7-4770K in a bone stock comparison, we’d recommend the i7-4820K for gamers who want to build a new system around a solid, adaptable and overclockable core. The only problem here is making the jump to this relatively inexpensive IVB-E chip means participating in a game of Russian roulette: if you don’t get a decent overclocker, the i7-4770K will ultimately be a much better value. The question is whether or not you're willing to bet $310 on a that outcome.
Hah, yeah - I think they are wrong on their conclusion.
I would not buy into X79 and drop a 4820k in there just for gaming, you need your head looking at if you do.
If there is one thing that Failwell does erm, 'well' is gaming. Especially poorly written games that only use two cores!
Yes, that appears to be the case.
Besty i think you are wrong....
If 4820K will clock to 5ghz it will wipe the floor with haswell 4770k for gaming.
And you know why ??
How many people here got 4770k that can do 5ghz without De-lid...
Not to mention quad memory controller as a bonus.
And YES some people here proven that 4.5-4.6 haswell WILL bottleneck 780 in multiplayer games like BF3 and possibly BF4...
Doesn't seem that it's going to be a worthwhile upgrade from anyone currently on a 3930K.

Looking great !
I just have one tiny question. Now with the 4930K and GTX 780 SLI are you running PCI-E 2.0 or 3.0 ? If you're running 3.0 then was it necessary for you to use the nVidia X79 PCIE 3.0 patch to enable PCIE 3.0 ? I haven't been able to find answers to this
Yes it still requires the patch, which works fine.
It's NVidia drivers that will finally stop us having to apply the patch... Talking of which it's ages since the last Certified drivers - come on NVidia.
