A while back Micro center had a sale where a limited number of I7 4770k's were only 199.99 USD. I went ahead and reserved one and picked it up. So today i decided to try and overclock this guy just to see if it was poorly binned or something.

4.4 GHZ stable at 1.28V

Not the most amazing overclock but its incredible since i got it for 200 USD!

Anyone else pick one up on this sale and have any results to go with mine?

 

CPU  i7 6850k 

GPU: EVA FTW3 3080

Monitor: Dell 2716DGR +  another 1440p ultra sharp.

SSD: 512GB 850 Pro | 970 Pro 500

AMP/DAC:Magni 3 + Modi  2.

Headphones: HD 6XX, Argons, HD 660S and like 9 more

Wow, next time let me know about this deal! I would snatch it also. :P

 

As far as your overclock, that's not bad whatsoever.. It's not in the top 20 percentile I imagine. But it is above average. Considering that most Haswell CPUs, esp this one, can easily run cool @ 1.3x volts - you're at 4.4GHz @ only 1.28v. That's way better than my last one. :(

(4.4GHz @ 1.305v Stable)
