Benchmark and overclocking results
but first i must tell you I didnt try to OC this sample much since the chip was very very bad.
We got to a measly 4.2Ghz but the thermals was not acceptable even with a Swiftech H320 AIO.
So sadly we have to go with the normal standardized stock result of the board, which was not much but i expect to do better next time.
| Test Setup | |
| CPU | Core I7 4770K |
| Motherboard | Maximus VI Formula |
| Ram | Kingston Hyper X Blu 1600C9 |
| GPU | Radeon HD 7790 |
| Power Supply | AX-1200W |
Overclocking result
Apart form the tantrums thrown by the chip the board was an awesome overclocker:
Here goes my two measly overclocks
4Ghz @1.15v

4.2Ghz @1.21v

and here are the few benchmark results:
Am keeping it simple this time, given the chance i would like to re bench my whole suite with a better CPU.
| 2D benchmark results(in seconds) | |
| Super Pi 32M | 480.602 |
| Wprime 1024M | 185.116 |
| Aida 64 | |
| CPU Queen | 49900 |
| Photoworxx | 22300 |
| CineBench ( in CB Points) | |
| Cinebench 11.5 | 8.63 |
That takes care of the benchmark and overclocking part.
