Intel i7 4790 Haswell Refresh Slower than previous Gen 4770K? @ Madshrimps

Sounds like there may be a small hiccup with the i7 4790 processors interacting with the Z97 motherboard that could be causing it to run slower then predicted.  

Today is NDA day for Intel's brand new Z97 platform. Sadly there will be no launch article on MadShrimps; simple reason is because we have experienced some issues with the current Haswell refresh processors on our Z97 testbeds. MadShrimps has tested Z97 with the 4770K and did a comparison between Z87 and 297. That data is ready and was ready to be published, however the outcome we got when briefly testing the i7 4790 from the brand new refresh range is concerning to say the least. Time for a brief explanation of what happened today...

It wouldn't be the first time a product has stumbled a little out of the gate, but it doesn't appear to be earth-shattering in scope, and now knowing the issue should help in crafting a solution.  Now all we can do is wait for a response.
