Running my 4670 at 4.4ghz with 1.2v on the vcore and appears to be stable so far. 4.6 gave BSOD.
Very pleased with the upgrade from Q9650 after a few years of not using my desktop.
Temps and what cooling?

Retail chip has a longer warranty so would be my choice.
Damn lucky you told me to look for that!...it looks like a resistor? is missing....

The last time I bought an OEM CPU from OcUK it was damaged, tried to RMA and they accused me of causing the damage. This was a few years ago and I have only just recently started to use them again. The customer service has improved a lot lately so hopefully you won't have a problem.
No more than 60C with Prolimatech Megahalems (Push pull config with 1.4k rpm and 1k rpm fans) on stress test.
Not bad, what about voltage and what stress test was used?
Damn what cooler are you using to get temps so low (for Haswell)
1.2V and aida64
Also very happy with my current setup. 4670K at 4.4ghz and a +140mhz overclock on a 780 is giving me very smooth gameplay in everything I've thrown at it yet. My Q9650 was bottlenecking the 780 so much.

I don't see the point in buyng an OEM chip for so little less. Warranty is one thing...
Greyfu keep it at 4.8 and 1.24v,temps and volts are fine
Hi guys I built my 4770k rig with a Gigabyte Z87-D3HP motherboard and the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro SR1 cooler that Overclockers bundled, and I've been running Prime95 for nearly an hour with Core Temp now reporting temps in the high 80s to mid 90s. This is running at stock so seems really high - do you think I should re-seat the heat sink? This is in a Fractal R4 with two case fans, one at the front and one at the back. The fans don't seem to be running particularly fast or loud and they are connected to the motherboard rather than the fan controller.
Any advice would be appreciated!
