Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

Windows can experience a BSoD at any point when operating at 4.2 GHz, even though the temperatures are manageable. Although there have been instances where video encoding with a full load of all 4 cores resulted in the encoder program crashing after a few minutes of encoding, it usually always works correctly at a frequency of 4.0 GHz. In this software, if a core was assigned but left unoccupied, it no longer fell. There were no issues at all at the declared frequencies for turbo mode (up to 3.8 GHz). Given the thermal interaction between the crystal and the Haswell shell, I made no attempt to overclock the processor over 4.2 GHz.

Pros

i5 4670K. Quick. virtually any task decently without overclocking. Any Full-HD video can be simply decoded by its built-in video core. conserves energy when inactive. Frequency variations based on load do not hinder comfortable use.

Cons

It does not accommodate even slight overclocking with a good cooler well. Maybe I just stumbled upon a copy that wasn't very successful. In my situation, the unlocked multiplier isn't very useful, especially considering how much it costs—roughly $1,000. Well, on its own, it's fairly pricey.
