It's probably not 100% stable at those volts....
Bloody hell, can't wait to overclock mine (4790k club, high five).
Need to get a good cooler.
Probably gonna be disappointed after seeing this, lol.
I leave it around 4.6-4.8. Just went to 5.1 to see if I could... I can boot into windows at [email protected], but I can't run cinebench...
What cooler are you using?
I have an h100i, but I hate it. Temps are great, but it's horrible loud, I mean super loud. I just bought a noctua d15 to replace it, plus I noticed some condensation around my h100i :(
Devil's Canyon chips man. They're already very well binned, getting a center-platter chip means 5GHz+. So nice.
Obviously needed way more voltage than you did, which isn't surprising as an i5 should be a locked down i7 silicon that failed to be an i7. :P
Eww LinusTechTips. :P

Don't you knock linus tech! Their forum layout is way better than tek syndicate
yea, what are your temps
?
Never went over 71c during cinebench 15
That's subjective. This is the only forum I've joined other than JayzTwoCents' forum, which I'm not even active on.
The reason I stick here is they layout, I love it. Although it'd look horrible if it had a bright white colour scheme alike the discourse site (which, well, still looks alright but not as good).
Plus the LTT forums is full of 12 year olds. ;P
I'm kidding, I've never bothered joining there. I've heard bad things from a couple others and then there's the aforementioned eye pain issue.
@KuramaKitsune Are you asking me?

not bad honestly.
hotter than i prefer, but nearly 5.1ghz is crazy with the hyper-threading still enabled
my 2500k needs 1,5v to get up to 5ghz
Nice chip, will yield a very good return if you ever decide to sell it.
Debatable comment alert!
Nice chip.
I've already been offered someone's 4790k and $100 cash... Lol
I'll be keeping it, not really wanting to sell it ATM.
dam thats good wish my amd fx6300 hit at least 4.7 but cant cause i had to put at 4.6 1.425v and not sure it was completely stable at that since i cant even test it cause it shot through the roof while stress testing the dam thing. might try overclocking on the devil canyons chips soon when i get a different mobo and cpu just for the lolz if i can.
