A cash reward for overclocking help! LOL Why didn't I think of that? 😉
There's a sticky at the top of this forum re: Ivy Bridge-e overclocking, that's pretty much the best/only method. They don't clock particularly well, if you can reach 4.7ghz it means you got a really good chip. 4.6ghz may be possible, 4.7 is less likely.
If you do reach 4.7, please keep your $25 and just send me your chip instead. 😛

Buy i7-3930K and you'd probably get it to 4.7.
See? It was completely and utterly simple. (Also I think people who pays money for overclocking to be similiar to people who pays other men to have sex with theirs wife.)
Or people who buy computers from Alienware. 😉

Just had a quick look at bios settings.
You don't need such high VTT. It doesn't helps with CPU overclock. Leave it at 1.1V
Vcore mos volt can be left on auto. VCCSA LLC would be better to set at high (with VCCSA voltage at 1.15v)
Try to set CPU voltage freq at like 550KHz.
PLL may be too low for 4.8, Set at least 1.7v.
Both spread spectrum should be disabled.
DRAM tRAS timing is VERY low, I'm pretty sure you need to increase it to at least 25. Keep in mind, tRAS isn't always lower=better. Using tRAS < tCL+tRCD may cause instability.
Also, rampage tweaker option isn't very optimized for Ivy-E CPUs now. I recommend to leave it on auto until some BIOS updates arrives.
Hope these tips would be any helpful.
PS lol I just realized these settings aren't posted by this thread author) My bad, I'm sorry.
