I've made a new pc this week. I'm pretty happy with it.
ASUS Rog Rampage IV Black Edition + 4930K + CorsairH90, seems like a good combo to me.

Anyway, I've successfully made a stable OC for my 4930K, 4,6GHz with 1.26 vcore. Depend,ng on what I see online, I think I am pretty lucky.

Right now max temp is around 66c, and there is plenty of flecibility there as well.

Depending on this information, do you think 4.8 is easily possible without eating up CPU life?

 
Solution
I personally would quit while you are ahead. It would be a shame to burn a chip like that up lol.... 200 mhz isn't going to make that much of a difference.

And sorry, I can't personally speak to the 4930k, but for me 60s under load is good. Past 60s under load is pushing it. You will find plenty of opposing viewpoints on that subject, but again - just my opinion.
