Anyone bought a Broadwell C (and tried to OC it) in here yet?

As per title.

This whole series looks like a bit of a dud in terms of excitement tbh but I'd still consider it against a 4690k for an upgrade if it's not too expensive.

Not out for sale yet and besides that they are already overpriced you'd have to be an idiot to buy the i5 one for more than a hyper threaded 4790k

There's a link the Broadwell thread, one site had managed to get the i5 Broadwell version overclocked to 4.4Ghz with 1.4 volts. Early indicators don't point to Broadwell's being particularly good overclocking chips.
