Bit of a lottery with Haswell but personally I'd be disappointed if at least 4.4ghz was not achievable with 1.25v or less, I know anything above stock is not guaranteed but we pay extra for K chips for a reason, I've achieved 4.5ghz @ 1.2v stable and think you would have to be rather unlucky to get a dog of a chip that couldn't reach 4.4ghz but they are there. Agree 4.4 to 4.5 on average.

I am currently just using Asus cpu level up at 4.4 which puts 1.264v through it according to Asus software although HWMonitor shows 1.250v
Trying 4.6 booted to windows but was putting 1.360v and causing random crashes in games.
Going to manually tweak settings and try squeeze another 100-300mhz out of it. Temps seem ok at either 4.4 - 4.6 during gaming max core of around 65degrees under a custom water cooled loop.
I said when I bought the chip I would be happy with 4.5 and anything over and above would be a bonus, so I am pretty pleased thus far and still think there is room for improvement.
