A couple of weeks ago, on a whim, I upgraded to a Z87 MPOWER and a 4770K (from a Z77 MPOWER and 3570K). After the initial setup and testing I broke out my multi-meter and started to overclock. I've managed 4.3GHz at 1.16-1.17 with everything stable after a 24 hour burn-in test.
After reading around I've come to the conclusion that my vcore is pretty low compared to what others have had to set their systems to (it seems the average is around 1.2+). Did I just get lucky? I'm not super concerned, just a little miffed.
