Did a search on the forums yesterday, and couldn't find a similar thread for this CPU.

Alright boys! It's e-peen measuring time!

The rules:
  • i5-4690k required
Post your:
  • Motherboard - This matters more than you would think.
  • Max STABLE clocks and voltage - That's what we are here for.
  • How you tested stability - Important to see if it is truly stable.
  • How you cool the CPU and max temps - just because I'm interested, I am WaterKewl after all...

My turn -
AsRock z97 Extreme4
4.7GHz@1.3v
Prime95 SFFTs + MSI Afterburner for 48 hours.
Custom loop consisting of XSPC parts using a 420mm rad. Max water temp was 35C and max CPU single core reached 78C.
