My 4670k need 1.21v to push 4.2ghz
and it has really high temperature!
86c under Prime95 stress test !!
Im using Corsair A50 Air cooler~~~
Did i get a really really bad chip?

i think this chip need 1.3v+ to reach 4.4ghz
and temperature will be hitting 100c++

Really? Where did you get that info? Higher frequency will give your system fast and responsive in executing programs.

This is only true when comparing cpus within the same family and same generation. Geez I don't know why this is so hard to understand.
You canNOT compare directly the clock speeds of two unrelated cpus. Do I really need to get into how much faster Intel Haswell's 3.6ghz is than AMD's 5.0ghz? Numbers mean nothing. The 4670k is TWO generations newer than the 2500k. If they were both clocked at 4.5ghz, the 4670k would be roughly ~20% faster.

Roughly... The bittech benchmark that was posted already proved that your estimates in speed difference was not correct. That shows more like 4670k @4.6Ghz = 2500k @ 5.0Ghz.
