I ran a ebay-special 3770k at 4.9ghz for years. Aside from occasionally having to hot boot it, that is, boot, then restart immediately, so my USB3 ports and NIC would work, it was flawless. Had to keep it on a nice AIO to run at reasonable temps (<80c), but, it performed well. I do miss those days, where you could get lucky and score silicon that'd run happily at 30% higher than its rated speed.
