Anyone doing bulk order?

Wait for local store. From record we are among the first countries to get stock even prior to official physical release date. The price also won't be too far from overseas unless if some bloody retailers wanna cut our throats and come out with stupid bundle idea or limited stock thingy then jack up the price.

thinking to get this 4790k with a msi z97 gaming 5 board. Wont be overclocking much. Or should I check out other mobos as well?

Actually nowadays motherboard effect on overclocking is minimized. Look at the power phase design, the number of power phase featured on the motherboard will not guarantee that it overclocks higher or runs more stable than a board with less phases. It's the CPU aka processor that decides how far your overclocking can go. Moreover CPU itself has integrated voltage regulator (iVR) to control the power delivery. So my take is get the board that suits your needs, the quantity of connectivity, features such as wi-fi and Bluetooth supports, multi-GPU support based on number of your graphics cards etc...

Btw, MSI Z97 Gaming series looks stunning!

Glad to see that it doesn't take few months to break 7GHz barrier with the i7-4790K.
For sure we will see more records broken within these few days and so on.

Yea,I strongly beleive that ES....L336D081 (year 2013 !!) , which everybody used is totally crap batch.

Let see what will be in next few days......

hmm bad and the worst 4770k is 1.1v 3.9ghz. yeah f***ed up. basically stock vid is the clock.
Avg ones are 4.2ghz but still 50:50 u end up the above or this.
Above Average is 4.5ghz @ 1.1v... 5-10% chance of getting this. i had one but the imc like screwed up even 2400mhz it had issues and the vccin voltage was fluxing like mad.
And Awesome one with god himself coming down and patting u in the back is 4.7ghz@1.1v.. literally. he came down and whispered bless u my son.
thats rare. even on percentages... any ram.. stable vccin.. u name it. this do 5ghz @ 1.25v.

so whatcha think about that 1.42v again @ 4.5ghz.. thats the hall of fame worst one ever.

mybe that why it cheap ... plus after check it non K base proc but come with unlock multiple

but base on ss previous owners it hit 1.298v on. 4.5ghz

mybe something worong with mobo @ os. . current test using asrock fataly Z87 and win8.1 pro

My 4770k cant even get past 4.5ghz..sigh. Bsod code 124. Dare not to try >1.4v perhaps it is psu issue? Cm gold 600w. Gtx780, asus rangers

BSOD code 124 means insufficient vCore. Try playing with higher Load-line Calibration, preferably "Very High" which usually gives minimal vdroop during load.

Failed.. ive put it at 9. Vcore @1.44 . Now got new bsod.code 101

Oops I always forgot that LLC for Haswell controls the vdroop of VCCIN but not vCore lol, although it does help sometimes in my OC.

No choice have to play with vCore. Looks like your chip needs more juices.

already @1.44v so i think maybe i should just back off huhu

Have u try upping ur VCCIN? Put ur Vcore at 1.35v ceiling (1.44v is too high already), up ur VCCIN and enable LLC to highest setting VCCIN can try until 2V (default 1.8V, but will register as low as 1.65-1.7V if LLC is disable). How about uncore multi? Try x40 or below when ur OC reach 4.5Ghz and not stable.

tried everything, now its back to bsod 124 i guest my real problem is the 600w psu?

Devil's Canyon....this week?

Sad, I think your chip just needs more voltage than a PSU.

zhen^wei from IdealTech said this week through their FB.
Not sure the exact date though.
