I'm actually running prime blend on my 4770k now, I want to see the difference between my "stable" 4.5 on aida which was 1.23. It failed, bsod, at 4.5 with 1.23 and 1.235. I had to lower the clocks to 4.4 because I was topping out at 96 with 1.235 Cpu V 4.5. I'm running 4.4 @ 1.23 now well shall see. It's been as high as 4.7 for benching but air just isn't going to cut it with these chips for high clocks, damn thing reminds me of the 8350.I haven't tried anything above 5.0 for obvious reasons but have done some benches at 4.9 with the Hyperthreading off @ 1.46v probably close to 1.49 with LLC considered. I managed to run XTU bench @ 4.8 ( 8 threads) and 4500 cache actually gat some decent points. I was a bit surprised. I've done some more reading and these CPUs seem to be all over the map performance wise. Some are suggesting bad TIM and should de-lid but I don't think that's it just from my observations.
It seems as if I have a pretty good 4770k but only better cooling will tell, I thought the same with my 2500k because of my 5.3 Oc on air but as you know, that's all it has. I hate that it just stops there and nothing I do will get it past 5.3. I'm going to try it on the "good" water when we get some cold temps outside but I have a feeling it's not going to do more then 5.3.
