I have a 2700k running at 4.9 Ghz and a Corsair h60 cooler.  Temperature never breaks 70, usually around 64 C., voltage around 1.44.  I get great FSX performance, no stutters.

 

I've had it for almost 2 years, see no reason to upgrade and will run this sucker until it implodes, hopefully not for a while  :mellow:

I found review on youtube the guy got the 4790k to be stable at 4.9ghz on water he said he couldnt get it to 5ghz as it kept bsod

Some got their 4770K's to 5 GHz too while others barely break 4.2 GHz. So far the new CPU looks to be similar.

If it was so great, it wouldnt be offered at the same price as a 4770k

well i got mine@ 4.6ghz with corsair h110 liquid cooler idle 28c on las 37 mid 40 and fsx runs a lot better than old sb 2600k with nvidia inspector aa 8 and af 16 40 fps most of the time with the cfg settings Word Not Allowed guide very happy with the upgrade
