The default settings for the Core i7 4770k are shown above – the multiplier is set at 35 (x100), giving the final speed of 3,500mhz. The turbo function allows for boosts to 3,900mhz, the same as the ASUS Z78 Sabretooth which we also reviewed for launch today.
We configured the Corsair H100i cooler fans and pump to ‘performance’. There is very little if any difference using ‘maximum fan settings’ as the cooler was reaching its limits under load.
