Very nice !!!

That is a nice temp overclock but worthless for everyday use. Must be nice to receive binned products to overclock with for free.

So that is why I keep my current classy + 4790K stable at 4.7G + 4ways GTX 980's SC / 24hrs use . Just considering try X99 or wait for other future X9x ( wanna try six cores this time). :-))

If you want to try 6 cores you have now historical chance with i7-5820K with same Cache as 4960X and same core numbers only little newer platform. X99 is perfect for primary rig, E-ATX, Z170 is perfect for smaller "backup" rigs I call them. Special little Mini ITX motherboards. 
 
Somehow I have confidence in overclocking CPU on EVGA boards, maybe is that experience because I have nice i7-3770K and reliable Z77 FTW... It's pity because board is not Mini ITX Format I would maybe even keep than as second PC. 
Or maybe I could keep second kit of DDR4 to sell Z77 platform and invest in i7-6700K
and during 2016 to buy Stinger Z170.
I didn't look compatibility between Z170 Stinger and Ripjaws 4, at least 2x4GB.
