Itll be another 3 weeks before i can afford it,and then only on Water to start with.3000mhz TGE c11 ordered but no delivery date yet.
 
Got a few here I binned at Aria. 5GHz boot in at 1.24v on the i7, 1.25v on the i5. Most need 1.4-1.45v or more to do that. Need to get them under the cold soon.
 
I've had my 4670k at 4.6GHz for a few days now at 1.3v and will not prime95! Runs all sorts, OCCT easily plus various bench tools. Games perfect and not had a single blue screen apart from prime, saying that... It blue screens at 4.2GHz with 1.3v in prime95 hahahah. Awful CPU, I recommend spending the extra cash for a binned one. They are safe up to 1.6v but good look keeping it cool, I do feel like delidding and putting under a custom loop to run at 1.5-1.6v and run 5GHz (to still run at 90c)

Get the copper pipe out and build a stand for one of these! link

BCLK multiplier
Have any of you played with this yet
I played with these on the RIVE with a 3960X trying to my Team Xtreme 2600 to work but I never got past 2400 :mad:
Does it help any benchmarks

Yes 2d-benches will benefit,maybe not by much in some benchmarks,but a few 1/10 or if lucky a few seconds could help :).
3d benchmarks is a Little hasle,vcore-vccio-vssa need more voltage to run and if you dont tweak these there will be BSODS or more likely 3dmarks wont be as good when playing with bclk.
And you may have lost in the chiplottery,all three 3930k on the RIVE i had were able to do 2400mhz+.
 
I think I'm going to wait for the costa rica CPU's to come out. All these malay CPU's seem to be very unpredictable. I don't want tk be aasting my money on a CPU that will barely dl 5.2GHz on DICE.
