This proc doesnt easily hit 4ghz, not even close. 3.3-3.7ghz prime stable seems to be the ceiling, and there are very low FSB walls on these CPUs.

Engineering samples and cherrypicked review overclocks =/= typical.

I have to point out that these E5200s are quite low binned 45nm chips, from all reports it seems that need a lot of juice to hit 4Ghz. Most not getting to 4 even with 1.4v anything beyond, you better have ultra coolings. Anyhow 3.5 is about the average you can do 24/7 on this chip. still for the pirce they charge, it's still hot.
