My old 4690k overclocked quite good and I used it for years with 4,5 ghz @ 1.285 v.

Keep in mind to read an overclocking guide for haswell cpus first and try to proceed step by step. I would increase the multiplier until you get unstable and then add a little more voltage and see if you get it stable again. You might also adjust the package voltage and ring voltages.

My 4690K (when i had it) also overclocked well, ran it at 4.5ghz at 1.25v. Could hit 4.7ghz but at 1.32v which was too much.

Generally for haswell, you want to stay below 1.3v. Usually 4.5ghz are easy to hit below 1.3v.

Do not exceed 1.300 Vcore or 85°C. Core temperatures below 80°C are ideal.
