Thank you, that's not one I've seen but one hell of a clocker you have there.
Have you tried any further?

Thanks
thought it was good but wasn't sure how good. Once tried 5.2Ghz, 1.4(?) volts (just multiplier and vcore) and did managed to run super pi and crash wasn't far away. Would'nt dare much more, limited knowledge .Actually i'll go with a second try, will see how much vcore it needs.

What motherboard and RAM are you using?

Motherboard : Asus Z97-DELUXE
Memory : G.Skill TridentX 4x8GB, 11-12-12-32-2@[email protected] (F3-2400C10Q-32GTX)
Conducted a small experiment few days ago - "how much it takes to see a desktop":

Seems to scale constantly 0.04v increments.
And now [email protected] , cpu-z, screenshot and crash followed:
edit: traveyb here has chip from same batch
edit: voltages i put here in this post before were incorrect, did an update.

Had 4770k before , could'nt handle as low as 4.2Ghz, point where these chips go with ease...usually.

No, picked up from local store (estonia).

Mine was at 5.2 but crashed in Prime in about 1.2 seconds does that count 
if yes, i had it at 5.2 before this; all afternoon...temp about 75 degrees ...V = 1.5, but it felt quite scary, i didn't try gaming and only used rig for online
i hate using Prime, but at 4.6, V=1.27 it gets up to 85 degrees.............but only 43 degrees whilst gaming only.
it might have worked at 5.2 if i had dropped the voltage.... but i'm a bit too scared to try now, i have a feeling that my CPU is a really good clocker !!!!! but it would need fine tuning.

1.13v at 4.6 that's low.................mine is flipping miles higher than that,
mine is the same voltage as yours at 5.0

I have mixed feelings regarding prime95, tried few different stress utilities and found realbench good validator together with aida64.
Temperatures are much lower than prime's smallfft and bsod occurs just as same . Smallffts purpose seems to be more of temperature testing than stability, i see a point in it if you actually gonna plan something similar with your pc .
Well ... games doesnt get even close .. as you pointed out.
Just my subjective opinion , based on my pc usage scenario.
Currently clocked [email protected], aida64 temps reached max 85C, realbench temps less than 80c, but stable.
I know if i am gonna run smallfft's it will hit 100c immediately but I won't and apps i use daily are joke besides aida64/realbench
. So this clock is just fine for me.
If i plan to fold@home .. thats another story.
PS. disable avx in windows and try smallfft's then (if this is where your temp peaked)

hi
4.6 is fine for me and because everyone else is on 4.2 to 4.7 then 4.6 is about right for me too.
if i went up to 5.0 on air the rig would probably take it, because whilst gaming only the loading looks like about 35%....... roughly a 10 degree temp rise, but Prime is a full 100% torture test.....and of course i had the voltage far too high back then, i only dropped the voltage recently when the guys told me how to do it.
the cpu feels about the same as my old i5 2500, it's a very strong cpu, nothing like the complaints that you read here.

Seems the price of the 4790K has gone up these past few months, any ideas why?
