***Intel i7 4790K Owners thread***

Well p95, (ver 28) is a definite no go even at stock, its hotter than my old 4770k. Vcore @1.264 @load. temps maxed at 90-93-92-85. The old chip maxed at 76-76-75-67 at stock, load voltage of 1.248. Yes DC has a higher stock speed and voltage, but crickey this takes the mick.
 
Running XTU on the above results in 0x124 bsod. Upped vcore to 1.200, (1.216 at load. LLC on auto) runs XTU and passes. Temps at 64-64-64-60. So a bit lower than auto settings. Ram left at 1333mhz for the time being.
 
I see that the devil canon chips back in stock tomorrow or Wednesday be interesting to see if these are the later batch of cpu's

I have notise also that the dc chip score higher phys score in 3dmark 11 compared to i7 4770k at same clock speed erm.
 
Could someone running @ 4.7Ghz do a quick SuperPI 1M and 32M run please and post the times. I decided not to hold out for this, couldn't really justify the cost. Luckily the cheap 4670k I picked up clocks reasonably well.
