Hi all, last year I had a very good Ivy 7GHz 3770K, but everything flows, everything changes. And Intel presented Haswell and that was time change the platform. But happens, my boss cheated me he didn't give me my salary about six monts and I decided to leave my job. I sat at home without money and work, but very wanted to test something with LN2. I asked NickShih at FB to give me great Z87 motherboard OC Formula, because I saw many good results made by different users. I was really surprised when Nick answered to my and gave me that board. When I received it I asked my friends from ukrainian internet-store prostoshara.ua give me some Haswell for a rent. They gave me great opportunity to bin all Intel 4xxxK cpu that they had. I found a good one, tested it on water
Since I've never had such a good cpu on water I bought one 25l dewar of LN2 and started overclocking
I had a lot of problems with my both copy Windows, spent half LN2 and just submitted one score

This morning I fixed all problems and started my tests again
My Setup
Intel Core I5 4670k
ASRock Z87 OC Formula
TeamGroup DDR3 2800 cl11
Asus 7300LE
Antec TPQ OC 1200 W
XtremeLabs Magnum CPU pot
First I tried to improve validation. I disabled three cores and used single channel of memory
I was able to reach 7+GHz, and after few attempts I got this

Looks awesome I really impressed by ASRock OC Formula and how it overclock Haswell and memory
Below you can see other two my results

Look at memory frequency it's air, I didn't have much LN2 to freeze my good PSC so I tested TeamGroup RAM based on Samsung chips
Also this cpu has pretty good cache. I'm really happy to have such a good cpu, and most have a lot of friends and their supports.
Many thanks:
- ASRock and NickShih for excellent motherboard
- Prostoshara.com for CPUs
- TeamGroup for very good memory
