I've been able to get to 4.4GHz with complete stability but the fan is SO ****ING LOUD.
I recently had the opportunity to build a new rig (ie, I got hands on a 3070 but let my brother have it) but I decided to hold off. Even if I build a new system based on the 11th gen i9 11900k (I wouldn't... I would build an i5 11600k if I was going to build a modern rig today), I would "only" be getting a performance increase of 41% in a span of 8 years. I was coming from a Core 2 Duo E8400 when I upgraded to the 4770k and that was a 72% performance increase in a span of 5 years.
It just doesn't seem worth it to me to upgrade yet. Perhaps the 12th gen Intel processor is gonna give me that performance bump of 70% I'm looking for. As it stands... my rig can still play any game I throw at it. Even at 3440x1440.

I'd have to consult with my brain on that one.
