Did i finally win the lottery

[deadbc77]

      After swearing not to upgrade till X99,from Z87.I found myself buying a Maximus VII Formula, and running my 4770k with it.Fast foward two weeks later,and this morning i decided to push my 4790k to 4.8ghz for the hell of it.Now before you go on about temps.Keep in mind this is a brand new H105,and i live in a desert area 

where our summer heat hit 117 degrees.I just thought i share some of my early Saturday overclocking screen shots.Both stress test were stopped by me, no bluescreens.No throttling at all.

 

First run aida64,just set the multi to 4.8ghz 1.29v in bios then F10.

 

 

 

Second run,4.8ghz 1.25v 

 

 

My third attempt was to try 1.20v but bluescreened as soon as i started aidia64 stress test.

1.25v and you get 4.8? That's not bad at all.

That will hit 5 GHz almost guaranteed on 1.29-1.30, though you might have to run the air conditioner a bit more in your house to support it without breaking 93C. Great overclock. The lottery with Devil's Canyon is pretty much if you can break 5 or not. Most chips make it to 4.8 and hit a brick wall, at varying temperature ranges.

 

If you had a better radiator (custom loop) I'd say push, but knowing your environment, wait for the winter/open the windows at night if it gets cold.

It's definitely not bad at all, thumbs up.

[skullbringer]

Yep, top 10%

I would rather win the real lottery but that's a nice prize for sure. Bragging rights!

Or just delid it and stuff some liquid ultra in there.

Some people are willing to take the risk and some aren't. It would improve temps certainly.

It would depend on how you got this OC.....IMO, no you did not. This CPU boost is 4.4Ghz and you achieved 4.8Ghz which is a 400mhz boost which is quiet average. Anything below a 600Mhz boost is average/ok IMO.
