Thank you for your response; as well thank you to dandn0ten. I've resigned to the fact I didn't get one of the better samples. Last question, how will graphine change our situation? :)

I see the plates for the gts 780 going for $100. I see there is also the cpu and MOSFETs. Is it worth it?

It looks like the parts are custom machined and it's about $100 bux for the plate for my GTX 780. The pump, the plate for the CPU, tubing. Also, I understand there is cooling for the chokes/capacitors and the MOSFET. New to cooling so I am trying to get a realistic understand of the costs of...

At this point, it seems that 43 cpu and 42 cache @1.265 is where I am at. The consensus I get is that higher voltage = lower life span and I would assume higher temps also adds to this. I couldn't get long term stability (would get the 124 BSOD just outta the blue under no load). Intel...

4670K-4.8Ghz at 1.45-1.5V under 80C is that okay?

So lets talk about V at 1.45 - 1.5. If I am able to get 4.8Ghz at 1.45 under 80C is that okay? Pretty sure I can with corsair watercooling.

What is the danger in going over 1.4V? What if water cooling allowed me to get temps under 80C over 1.4V which I'd push to get 4.7-4.8Ghz?

Thanks for the response. The voltage i am giving is after increase GHz and V under manual voltage mode. So, it takes 1.312 (1.296 in BIOS) to run stable @ 4.5GHZ. I can do 4.4GHz @ 1.25 in bios. 4.6Ghz takes the 1.375V (and runs closer to 1.4V in CPU-Z under load) to run stable. At...

I am running the 4670K with a CNPS11X(air-cooled) in an ASUS Maximus VI Hero . I set the adaptive voltage to total 1.375 with all cores at 46(4.6GHz). In CPU-Z it shows the voltage at 1.39V. HWMonitor shows highest core temp at 77C under Prime95 under high FFT. If I can keep the cooling...
