Thanks guys for your info. I won't push it more.
@YouWHat,
I started with undervolting and it ran stable at 0.920 at 4.0GHz. Compared it with Tom's results(1.000 volt @ 4.0GHz) so I new this chip had potential.
Video editing, rendering etc. is exactly what I am going to use for it also so I will keep it at 4.4 for now.
Do you have yours running with or without turbo?
Is it stable running XTU?
Mine runs at 0.935 @ 4.0, and 1.110 @ 4.4, and yes, I leave it running the turbo (default) speed it wants to, just with lowered volts in the XMP profile for the day to day things, only apply the overclocked profile when needed then.
can anyone explain why 80c is ok when the tcase is 72c?
This is the same with most intel chip, everyone says keep under 80 and few have tcases of 60c

Because at 90*c your CPU will start to fry so keeping under 80*c you are keeping within the safe zone. A few *c over the 72*c will still degrade the cpu but not as much and will have a much less effect over time than running at 80*c+.
It differs from CPU to CPU though but for Sandy/Ivy and Haswell, under 80*c is recommended.
