It's not doing 5Ghz on .9V when I've read reviews that said they had to go up to 1.35V or more to get 4.6+

No need for a link. There is no way it did 5gz with .9 volts. It probably has a c step enabled still or as we already know cpuz has to update to read it correctly.

Haha did you even read what he asked?

B/c you answered neither.

I also want to know. I know max voltage for 22nm is lower so I expect it to have about the same a IB or even a little lower., which was 1.35 max safe I think.

Yes this is my first post. I have been lurking the forum for a few months until I decided on my build, but I had to say something on this.

I have to call BS on this.

To summarize the hour long video. Asus has tested over 700 CPU's and have said it is about a ten percent chance to get CPU to 4.8 with extreme water cooling solution.

Sorry didn't mean to sound short with you.

I should have used a smiley with the first post.

For the voltage, you guys could look into what people say/said about Ivy Bridge. It's the same 22 nm and 3-D transistors with Haswell. In practice it wasn't that important as you would be battling with temperature with typical cooling and without delidding. You couldn't get very high with the voltage anyways. Ivy Bridge was hitting its self-imposed limit and throttling pretty early, below 1.4 V or something.

From what I've read, here's my understanding...
-set voltage to 1.25V
-set multiplier to desired clock.
-if you can only boot 4.3GHz, you have a bad chip.
-if you can boot 4.5GHz, you have an average chip.
-if you can boot 4.8GHz or higher, you have a great chip.

Asus guys and Linus both said this:

@4.6Ghz/1.15V is a great chip if stable.
@4.6Ghz/1.2v is a good chip if stable.
@4.6 Ghz/1.2v is meh only booting into windows.
@4.6/1.2v is a bad chip if it crash.

Seems in line. Wish mine is a good one, still shipping GOGO UPS GO FASTER!
