i5 4690K Overclokcing Help

So i've got the 4690k with the Z97S SLI Krait and was wondering if what i'm getting is normal or a problem?

 

I've managed to get it stable at 4.4GHz but at 1.3v

 

This was highest i'm willing to get with voltage due to suggestions around the Internets, however others are getting 4.6 Ghz on 1.22v 

 

Have i just got unlucky with my Processor or i'm i missing some settings on my motherboard stopping me from getting higher speeds. 

 

Kind Regards

 

Zetsu

you basicly didnt win the silicon lotery, thats it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Depends what you changed to get that overclock. However, I wouldn't be surprised if that is all you can get. It really just depends on the chip, and it sounds like you might have got a bit of a dud. Silicon lottery strikes again!
