Depends on the chip.

A lot of things are in play that can affect the OCability of a CPU. The i7 4790K is very overclockable on a Z87 and Z97 chipset. But Z97 is better. Plus, different brands of motherboards will have different outcomes on the GHz of the CPU. Also cooling. AND if you are will to just keep bringing the voltage higher and higher in the CPU (note: that WILL shorten the lifespan of the CPU).

 

One more thing. There is something called the luck of the lottery or something like that. All CPUs have different OCability. Even with the best conditions, different CPUs will have different potentials for different clock speeds.

 

But usually, you will get to 4.5 GHz.

My Current Build:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.5 GHz MOBO: ASUS Z97M mATX RAM: Samsung 8GB (2 x 4 GB) @ 1600 MHz Storage #1: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Storage #2: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120 GB SSD GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X WINDFORCE Case: Cooler Master N200 PSU: EVGA 80+ Bronze 600B 600W Monitor: AOC 2367 23" IPS Display 

Future Upgrades
RAM: Samsung 8GB (2 x 4 GB) @ 1600 MHz (for a total of 16 GB) Storage #3: Sansung 850 Pro Series 256 GB SSD GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Twin Frozer V Case: Corsair 350D Window mATX PSU: Cooler Master VSM 80+ Gold  650W

With my current cooler, my CPU CAN reach 4.8 GHZ, but crashes after an hour.

You need to up the voltage then. New cooler won't help in stability by itself. It helps on how high voltage you can use to stabilize it. And I doubt that you have much difference with those two coolers.
