4790K overclock Voltage question.

Just wanted to see if these voltage are the normal voltages for 4790k with a Formula VI mobo on air (zalman 9500). Did some googling came up with mixed results.
Looked around on Here also most stuff i found as for Water cooling with higher starting clock speeds couldn't find anything for where i was starting.

I'm overclocked to 4600. and voltage is set at 1.280, It jumps up to 1.296 under load.

I went down to 1.275 and it wasn't stable so I'll mess around with with some in between voltages when i have more time.

Only thing i changed was auto to XMP and the cpu voltages can the clock multiplier. from default in bios

I found this website are these voltages about the average for the differant clock speeds?

Here is a pic of what they said are the voltages are they about the normal voltages?

Here's my Overclock 15 min stress test.

Lastly is there a 4790k forum where i can see other peoples overclocks? I searched and couldn't find it. If there isn't I that would be a great ideal but i guess pretty hard to do for all the CPUs and organizing would prob be a pain.

I was 24/7 stable with my 4790K@ 4.6GHz with 1.285v on the Maximus VI Formula.

This is good statistical info on Haswell overclocking:

Thx Nemesis Looks like i'm about average then on the voltages 😕

24x7 stable 4.7 GHz @ 1.24 V or 4.6 GHz @ 1.2 V. I think I could go lower volts on the 4.6 GHz, but my 24x7 is 4.7 GHz for the time being. This is on a Hero VI with X-series 4790k batch.

By 24x7 stable I mean realbench stress for 4 hours. Is rock-solid.
