Changing to DC will make you happy & feel lucky.

Changing to DC will make you happy & feel lucky.

Don't think i will be.. not worth the damages to my wallet anyway. there's no more joy of overclocking when it can run 4.4 out of the box.. + i heard many retail 4790K can barely hit 4.7GHz.. so really not worth the money even if i can actually juice to 4.7GHz p-much..

I can't get a stable system at 4.4Ghz too; crashes at either startup or after few minutes.

Currently doing at 4.3Ghz. However, system is a heavy paper weight at a corner coz my Swiftech AIO cooler is down and pending for RMA.

what is your voltage for 4.3ghz?

Can't remember.

Currently, I'm not able to on the system since my cooler is down, pending for RMA.
