i have z97 sabertooth and trying to overclock my 4770k to 4.6ghz but its impossible. I have my cpu voltage to 1.440 and its still unstable. I put hyperthreading off, put cpu input voltage to 1.9 and its still unstable.

No two CPUs will overclock the same; that's just how the "silicon lottery" works. Just because someone else reached a given overclock with a given voltage, does not mean someone else will be able to do the same.
The SBM builders often encounter significant differences between in the overclocks they can reach and what is "common" for a given chip.

You have an average chip.
High numbers come from those who got golden chips and are bragging about them.
Those who got dogs are silent.

Regardless, any vcore over 1.30 is probably not good for 24/7 operation.

How much do you really need more than 4.3 anyway?

The real question is why do people who choose not to overclock or can't overclock always question the practices of people who do choose to or can overclock? What's their motive exactly? When I'm using heavily CPU dependent applications, like the Dolphin emulator for instance, in both actual use and its specific benchmark tool I see a significant increase in performance. Why not push the chip that you paid for to its limit so as to maximize its value and slightly "increase" its longevity?

I don't care about how my hardware stacks up to other people's hardware, although it always is good to have a general idea if you had bad luck in the draw, but want to extract every single last dollar that I paid for it out of it in performance. The same can be said about overclocking a GPU, it's all pointless until you're getting a critical 10 fps increase in performance.

My i7-4770K can only get up to 4.5 GHz and that seems to be the highest common value I've seen anywhere so I really doubt you will get past that unless you get a really good chip. That bit right there is completely random and in no way controlled by you
