i7 4790K @ 5.0 ghz

[SamWillson]

HI mates can we call it a lottery Chip
whole rig is in my sig.

it was stable on this clock for 5 hours on XTU .
so i thought benchmarking is a good idea now.

Hi,

No, voltage is high, temps are high. You will damage your chip overtime

in this article they hit 5 -5.1 ghz at max 1.3.

It is recommended that you keep your voltage under 1.4

aaaaa...ok .do you know voltage has nothing to do with lottery or not ? and every chip is different !!!

Silicon lottery: intangible factors in manufacturing give otherwise identical chips different degrees of how much overclocking can be done to them, and what the costs in volts and heat are to get there - how close you have to push the safe limits of your chip.

Safe voltage and heat ratings are pretty much absolute; the degree to which you disregard these ratings determines the immediate peril to your chip, and perhaps its longevity as well.

TBH in my opinion, you don't really want to be taking the 4790K above 1.35v (for long term use anyway)

otherwise you're just going to decrease the life expectancy of your CPU
