Haswell advice

[GR63]

I have finally got a Z97 board for my 4690K and wondering

1) How much voltage for 24/7 use (cooling is fine with a 120mm tower cooler)
2) Max temps
3) Any gotchas like on S775 where you have FSB strap etc for Ram?

Thanks

Thanks. OP tips were really good and took me back to the day when I had Haswell originally. My chip was totally happy at 4.4 but 4.5 was less happy.

The @tamzzy tip on unCore might help since I set it to 4ghz - no AVX offset in BIOS.

Of course OC and temps are improved if you actually insert the retainers on the CPU clip (chinese Snowman cooler with no instructions!)
