Getting my 3570k on friday. If later batches seem to overclock better, what max OC can I expect on stock cooler?

4.0-4.2

Naw, those mid 80s were just peak points. It was average in the low 70s. I can handle that if that's at full load . On idle I was hitting roughly 23-30C. Not too shabby.

Ahh, I only count peak. Averages don't matter to me

To me, peak is one of those occurances where it can hit that, but the chances are extremely low. I figure on gaming I'll be in low 60s to mid 50s. I can definitely live with that. And, I would de-lid if I felt comfortable with it...but I don't. I know myself and I would definitely screw it up haha
