OK, found a 4770K for £240, worth a gamble?
Soldato
pretty much.
4.5GHz with 1.25v isn't even stable enough to boot into the BIOS, I can't see changing the LLC up a notch (or 2) changing that.

let me know how you get on!
Take into consideration this is my first Intel build.
4.4ghz
CPU vcore 1.277
Dropped uncore to 32
Disabled the power saving c1 c3
I have set that setting to extreme vdroop or something
Managing to get into windows and running aida64 stability test now.

Be careful if it's used, it maybe someones returned cpu after testing themselves looking for a good one.

I believe it's being sold as new, just on offer. Can't link to it obviously as it's a competitor.

Can't wait to get this board.
"Support PCB ver 1.0/1.1"
So is "PCB version 1.1" the Z87 C2 stepping??

I cant see a new revision listed on the Gigabyte site.
As for the two BIOS above I notice that F6 has a newer Intel microcode (9H) than X02 (7H)
I only managed to be stable for 15min on aida64. I was wondering if i could try for 4.4ghz with increasing the voltage past 1.25v?.
My temps at 4.2ghz with 1.25v is only 56-57 maximium on aida64 stable, what do you think?.
I have set Vcore to 1.3
4.6ghz No display
4.5ghz Rebooted
4.4ghz stress testing now
My temperature are on 60-62c max this seems really low for haswell ?.

I know it's very early days, but does anyone know if the F6 is any better for OCing than the F5 BIOS?
I'm quite impressed with the board. I'm running at 4.5GHz with a voltage of 1.285v. I just ran a full Linux kernel compilation across all 4 cores (8 processes) - this is much better than prime95, as it runs the system in a much more realistic way. No issues at all with the compilation and temps didn't hit 60C. On my previous Maximus Gene, I needed around 1.31v to do this at 4.4GHz.
