Did you notice such variance with voltmeter.
I never buy something to replace broken hardware before I'm sure what cause problems.
I decide to upgrade before some problems start to show up. And off course because now is good time with cheaper DDR4 for 100-120$ than in first months and special because good CPU is available i7-5820K, cost almost same as i7-4790K but new memory, more cores, flux solder, and who knows what will happen for 12-18 months...
Intel ask 500$ for Broadwell, what will stop them to ask same for good Skylake and 600-700 for Skylake Extreme and who knows what will they confess before he show up, cold bug, some other bug... Now this X99 is at least good platform.
But performance difference will be 10-15% max.
And I used first chance for cheaper sealed i7-5820K because I payed him 30$ more than i5-4690K or I could buy 5930K for 50e less than 4790K but that would be 100e more for nothing.
Sorry second chance, first I missed in October, in same time when I notice to late 5960X for 550e.
DDR4 GSkill 3000 MHz now cost 180$, no more excuse for investing in Z97 for people who think to build more expensive variants of 1150 with 4790K. Now is chance for good platform for next years.
