OC stability on Maximus VII Hero

[Dunkan77]

Hello guys,
I am waiting for a Core i7-4790K to be mounted on a Maximus VII Hero mobo. I have watched a few video on overclocking this cpu but I couldn't find any videos saying whether this cpu overclocks well on this mobo. Do any of you guys have the same configuration as me here and do you get good and stable O.C without changing the BCLK because I dont want to change that number at all, it will mess up RAM speeds and even PCI-E lane speeds and it will trash my very fragile GPU overclock that I spent hours on perfecting.
In summary, I want to know if the motherboard I chose is stable when overclocking and if the i7-4790K will like it or not. Can you also give me some tipsd on how to achieve the best OC possible like how much voltage is it safe to pump into a CPU, and I know that ultimatley every CPU overclocks differnently because of imperfections in the silicon so I might get higher overclocks or lower overclcoks
Please answer quickly guys as I need this ASAP.
PS: I will be putting a Corsair H100i GTX on it so it will reamain cool and won't throttle hopefully

The Maximus VII Hero should be great for OCing the CPU.

See http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devils-canyon-review-intel-core-i7-4790k-and-i5-4690k/2 for the clock speed and Vcore they used and the temps they got - using an H80i cooler.

You should be able to go to 4.5GHz without the CPU getting too hot during stress testing.

I own the board and it's great for overclocking.

Thank you both for your answers, both really helped me in estimating the OC I'm going to get on this cpu/mobo combo. 😀
