questions Hilbert, if you can't overclock this cpu over 4.0 GHz, does this mean this cpu not supporting limited overclock like i7-3770 (+4 bins from its max turbo) ? and what is its max turbo when all 4 cores are loaded ?

I wouldn't have slapped recommended badge for this none. Bad value vs. K processors.

I'm more looking forward to DDR4 and 8 core Haswell-E, but even there, I don't think I'll jump for the first generation. I agree with Hilbert that motherboards have become more and more awesome since UEFI.
