As much as I debated those who were thinking of doing the same, I'm actually happy I did. With a micro center being around the corner I purchased mine for 279.99 and pretty much sold my used i7 4770k for the same (minus shipping).
I've got to say it definitely is a much better overclocker than my i7 was (couldn't get it to even stay stable at 4.4Ghz) Right now I'm sitting at 4.7 Ghz at 1.125 volts and temperatures are totally fine. I think the base clock difference at least justified my case, although I suppose if I had to pay the full price and didn't get as much for my i7 as I did I'd probably be a bit more hesitant.
Anyone else having much better luck with their 4790k in terms of overclocking?
