I managed to reach a stable 4.4ghz with a 1.35vcore.
Performs reliably for over 24 hours on real bench and lasts two weeks in games.
Temperatures stay at 50c max when running Aida64 Xtreme and Real-Bench.
Currently experiencing slightly higher temps, but average around 25-28c during idle.
I believe this CPU gave me a big advantage by hitting stable 4ghz.
Specs show the RAM is clocked at 3200mhz.
Is there any noticeable change if I push beyond 4.4ghz or is it sufficient?

I question if you'd really see any change at 4.5.
You aim to maintain your vcore near 1.3v for Haswell.
I believe you might be a bit too high.

I doubt you'd see any change at 4.5.
You're aiming to keep your vcore near 1.3v for Haswell.
I think you might be a bit high.

Hope you find the link to those numbers you were looking for. Thanks.
These figures are from silicon lottery.
They buy chips and charge a premium for better ones.
I was curious about them, but since they're no longer focused on these chips, you might need to check their forums for more info.
