i5 4690k bad chip or just no luck?

[lemontea]

I got i5 4690k z97 msi board and tx750 psu. i can't push it to 4.5gz 1.3v or more just bsod 'whea blablabla', temp are avg 74c-79c max 83c ambient 30c, it's only stable around 4.3 1.195v and 4.4 1.250v . What do you think?

4.4 is pretty average I would consider yourself lucky. The bad chips fall short at 4.2 but 4.4 @ 1.25 isn't all bad.

4.4 GHz at 1.25 is a decent overclock. Its what you usually get from those CPUs, the golden ones get 4.5 GHz at 1.30

Im asking this because lot of people from forum or review can push the chip with 1.2v - 1.250v to 4.6 Ghz - 4.8 Ghz.
So this is an average chip not a bad chip? Btw this chip is made in vietnam not malaysia like in the forum or review, is that make any different?
Anyway, i can push to 4.5 Ghz with 1.305v 8 hours test with p95.

Alot of people are talking nonsense or lying. 4.4ghz for Haswell is a good overclock. Those 4.8ghz chips are really rare...this is not Sandy so every chip can get that high.
