The suggested and highest voltage for an i7-4790K is provided. This information ensures your long-term stability without risking damage. Thank You!
I would suggest 1.2V to guarantee longer durability. A value of 1.25 is also acceptable, but I will not exceed it.
I suggest 1.2V to guarantee longer durability. What about the upper operating limit you anticipate?
A few users shared 4.5 Ghz 4770Ks with 1.2, while others posted 4.3 GHz with 1.3. It seems it's a matter of chance, but I think 1.2 could land you in the 4.4-4.5 GHz range given the 4790K spec. It really depends on luck. Make sure your cooling is top-notch—Haswell can get quite hot, like an old Soviet oven. Your 212X likely won't handle 4.5 GHz across all cores with stable temperatures. Try to keep the temperature below 70°C.

Whoah, I plan to try it out and consider swapping it for a 240mm liquid CPU cooler. Thanks!
To achieve maximum cooling, consider liquid cooling options. Premium air coolers such as Cryorig R1 Ultimate, Phanteks PH-TC14 or Noctua NH-D14 and NH-D15 work well. Keep in mind these coolers weigh around one kilogram or more. If your motherboard has a thin PCB—like the 2/4 layered models from MSI Z97 or ASRock Extreme3—using them too tightly can damage it.
P.S Also think about adding Thermalright Silver Arrow, Archon and True Spirit 140 Power to your setup. Dark Rock Pro 3 is recommended for CPU coolers.
Getting 4 cores @ 1.256v @ 4.6Ghz.
1 core @ 4.8Ghz @ 1.231v
Stable performance with some BSODs, adjusting voltage improved reliability. Running BOINC nonstop for 24 hours on stress test—no issues now. Think lucky! Also using air cooler; cores at 72°C. Considering water cooling.
