Be careful overclocking these, if you up the voltage and increase the power the cpu is allowed to use in the bios they can get really hot.
I'm going to monkey around with it this weekend, but based on what I've seen, unless I have an uber-magical chip, even with boosted voltage, I'm not going to see anything more than 4.6-4.7 ghz max. And I think 4.7 is even too much to expect.... doesn't seem worth it to fight for another 100mhz, when I can get 4.5 on stock voltages and standard cooling. 4.5 is more than enough ... and frankly, far more than I expected from this chip. I may even back it off a little to give a bit of a buffer from the edge.
Now, memory is another thing... I have ddr2800, and I can't get it to budge over 2133. from everything I've read its a bios issue all x99 boards are facing, but I'd love to bring that number up a bit.
And still having issues with the new m.2 drive... I have four pcie lanes devoted to it, nothing in the "shared" pci slot, and its running along at the same speed as a high quality sata III device... should be getting 750gbs read/600ish gbps write, but I'm no where near that ...
