Nice guide Sin, I have one question though as a none haswell owner (looking to pick up 4790k & SOC Force)

For the uncore overclocking, is it best to leave ti at stock regardless of what overclock your going, or must it be within like 500mhz of cpu overclock at all times? What signs would you get that the uncore is the issue when stress testing as apposed to obvious cpu instability like bsod 101.

thanks

Yeah I follow you, so see if you fare any better it lower, if you do then youve identified the culprit.

What do you make of the SOC Force board sin? Is it only necessary for LN2 or a decent all rounder? I would just pick up a z97x ud3h but people are saying its not that good...would it really hold say a 5ghz overclock back? I mean ultimately I would like to OC as much as possible under a reasonable 24/7 voltage, like 1.4v.
