Is this a "golden chip"?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to overclocking Haswell but from my results so far I'm happy with what I have. I'm reading of people struggling to get to 4.5ghz with under 1.3 vcore. I've got mine running and passing burn tests at 4.5 with 1.2v and no delid(which I plan on doing when my Liquid pro turns up). I'm not seeing temps over 90c with my liquid cooling system on the CPU and vrm. How much further do you think I can take it?

My 3770K can do that as well, undelidded.

Edit: Is it just me or I see that your vcore in CPU-Z is 1.76V?? I know the one that's in HWMonitor is 1.2V though.

+1 to that.
