I'm a little disappointed that I haven't been able to OC higher. I tend to get crashes or run too hot if I even push it to 4.2ghz. I might have to do some more tinkering, as I know I've run at 4.3ghz in the past fairly stable. I'm able to run a lot of games very well at higher resolutions, even Zelda TP is playable for me now w/ the new hack (thank you!). I gave up on that game for about 6 months, as I just could not bring myself to go back to 480p on my Wii lol. I'm a bit of a performance whore though, and was curious if I'd see any improvment going to a Devil's Canyon. It looks like the performance jump would be negligible. I don't really care about the cost, I'm generally able to sell my parts for almost what I bought them for, so the upgrade $$$ would be small. I'd just really prefer not to have to spend the time installing a new Z97 mobo and re-do all of that stuff for an improvement in speed that isn't even noticeable. Looks like I'll be waiting for Broadwell or Skylake.
If you upgrade you'll probably see around a 500-900mhz improvement which wont do much for you.. better off waiting.
