Hello,

Just a simple question I'm wondering what kind of overclocking are these things pushing out I have one but waiting for my motherboard and case to arrive cheers.

Curtis out.

4.4 is average - my 4960X tapped out at 4.6 with an unhealthy amount of volts for 24/7 IMHO

Ahh dam it I was hoping like 4.8Ghz but I hope I can get at least 4.5Ghz with low volts.

Can I ask tom why you haven't done a i7 4930k Review? Nobody has really done one well some Americans but I want a British person like yourself to do one haha

Not requesting just curious...

Cheers tom

Intel were not really fussed. "want 4.8" - hmmmm you never read the review before buying did you.

Well I did watched some utube vids plus some information online but not alot was out there only some dodgy sites that I dont know ha, It was either the 3930k or the 4930k I just decided to go with the 4930k because had lower power consumption and its faster core to core or something like that isn't it Im sure you will elaborate that hehe, plus it's newer.

This will be first 2011 Rig but all its doing is encoding for twitch.tv

I've been able to push my 3930k to 5ghz but it was drawing scary volts to get there. If memory serves in the vicinity 1.5v can't remember the exact number off the top of my head.

my 4930k has been getting to 4,7 on 1,4v but thats about it,
tried 4,8 but it doesnt boot at all

my 4930k OCs to 4.6GHz with 1.3v
but to get to 4.8GHz it needs 1.48v
so I just leave it @ 4.6GHz
