I have MSI z97 Gaming 7 with 4790k too.My max overclock score is 4.8Ghz stable with air-cooling.This board have 12 power phase , good capacitance quility (SFC CAP) and nice heatsink.I use this board 6-month ago,no any problem happen.

Thanks PIEapple that's the kind of overclock i'm looking to get with a custom cooling loop so maybe i'll get lucky and get to that 5.0! Your picture made me laugh by the way XD

If you want get to 5.0GHz,maybe you need a water-cooling and need to add a high Vcore value.

yeah i have a custom loop planned with a triple radiator with, 82 cfm 1,7 mm h20 pressure fans, and a 600 l/h pump i should be able to put one hell of a vcore on it

Actually,I have a water-cooling,but I use that on X99S platform(MSI X99S GAMING 9 AC with I7 5960X).
Your radiator is so nice,you can go 5.0Ghz for sure
