look at this ppl writes that haswell degrades under oc very fast about 6 months
what you think not worth to buy ? try in google 4770k degradation

CPUs don't just "degrade". A GPU would degrade, in the sense of the capicators getting worn and whatnot. Haswell just does not overclock as well as ivy/sandy bridge.

I've had my 4770K since July-August of last year, overclocked at or over 4.0GHz most of the time, and I've not had a problem yet. Matter of fact I probably have a better overclock now than I did six months ago. Although I haven't had that extreme of an overclock for quite some time, the principles are the same. There's more to overclocking than doing what that guy did, it's not just cranking up the core voltage until it's "stable." That's putting you on the fast track to a new CPU, with ANY chip.

Truth be told you don't even need to crank the 4770K up to 4.6GHz. It'll blow anything out of the water at stock speed, let alone at a more modest OC of 4.2-4.4GHz. As it stands the chip already runs ~10% more efficient than it's predecessor. A 4.4GHz OC on a 4770K chip would about match a 3770K OC at ~4.8GHz.

I think you'll be just fine purchasing a Haswell i7, don't let that dope convince you otherwise. They're just as dependable as any other CPU on the market, and much faster too.

than what is the reason for topics in forums like this ?
i have allready bought 4770k and now i was thinking about swapping in sandy on 4930k the reason was the degradation topics that people was writing that 4770k on 4.6-4.8 oc was stabile like for a week then it needs to add some voltages and why is that? i have had pentium 4 which i oc-ed about 45% for 2 years without instabiliti it was oc like from 2.1 to 3.5 or somtjing like that without adding volts in time... please explain if you can... why haswell cant take oc 4.8 or even 5.0 if temps are ok and even if there needs some voltages to add why is it problem ? when on pentium and in sandy it has no problems... like + 0.2 or even 0.3 i dont remember hov many i added to my p4 when i oced 41% what i remamber it was 1.35 and in oc from 2.3 to 3.5 i added 0.025 maybe i remember right i dont know pleaze if u can explain me whats wrong with my brain was i brainwashed ? ))) joke gais im serious

Due to gullable folks such as yourself and/or ignorance. FWIW mine has ran at 4.7 @ 1.5v since launch and coincidentally I just ran a 24/hr prime 2 nights ago to check for trouble. So far so good 😛 Besides the chips aren't meant to be overclocked. If your going to OC you should be willing to accept any potential consequences.

Ironically the haswell chips are one of the most durable chips I've had the pleasure of cranking on.
