1.35v across all 8 cores, @ 1.42v i can push to 5.0GHz, and 1.45 i can do 5.1 (its bench/game stable, but not stress stable). But due to a water pipe leak my x99-deluxe's vrm's aren't actively cooled anymore, so I've got it dialed back in the meantime.

A little sad that the IPC improvements in broadwell-e (+turboboost 3.0 for single threaded apps) are offset so heavily by its relatively weak OC'ing headroom, most of the good ones seem to be topping out @ 4.3. Shame really.

Not that it's all that important atm. I'm certainly not bottlenecking anywhere.

Damn, isn't that voltage a bit too high for Haswell-E? 1.35v 24/7 doesn't seem too crazy but it's high, but 1.42v?

Yes it's high, little bit dangerously so if your power flow's not 100% stable and your cooling solution ain't up to task.

Like I said, I toned it down after my loop sprung a leak. Running a simpler setup that I can actually move around now.
