My 4790K operates smoothly at 4.7 Ghz with 1.2V, functioning at 70 degrees under heavy load. Continue using it—seems like you've had a fortunate outcome!

It's better than what I can get on air. I experience BSOD at any lower than 1.213V during 4.6GHz stress testing at 4.6GHz when under load. I can run it at 4.8GHz, but temperatures rise too much during the stress test. I ran Cinebench at 4.8GHz and it performed well. It really depends on your temperatures.

I own a CRYORIG H7 + 4790K and a Gigabyte z97x gaming 7. The motherboard has only been around for under a week, so I haven't tested it extensively.

What cooler are you using? Is the voltage exactly 1.200V? Which motherboard are you talking about?
Also, could you clarify what you mean by the full load?

Corsair h100i, asus maximus vii, performed well at full load for roughly an hour under prime95, resulting in a score of 1.2006
