*** Intel i7 4790K 5GHz Club ***

Thought I would have a go at getting my 4790k to 5ghz. Initially I could complete super pi at 1.35v but accidently clicked 'ok' and cleared the result. Now I'm going back to it the system would crash before loading the desktop so now I need 1.365v. That degraded quickly ;)

It should be noted that while I can submit a SuperPi result, the system is not remotely stable for anything else that uses more than a single core. I've tried upto 1.425v and the 3dmark11 cpu physics tests kills the system after only 1 or 2 frames.

My 24/7 overclock is 4.7ghz at 1.310v, 4.8ghz works well with 1.33v but I have not extensively tested it long enough to use 24/7. Nothing worse when a video encode fails after 6 hours and 95% done ;) I've not tried for 4.9ghz.

4.8 at 1.328

Been stable on aida64 for the last hour.
Copied someone elses voltage as I see a lot of 4.8's around this. Going to lower the voltage from here and see how low I can get.
 
Mines stable at 1.375v at 4.9Ghz and will post and run superpi at 5Ghz but not sure how safe it is to run 1.4v through it 24/7 as thats what I think would be needed.
