thought it was the i7 for a moment (5ghz on that without phase or dry ice would be incredible), what voltage do you need to keep it at your 4.2 (and is it orthos (or 4-8 thread prime95) stable)?

1.4v

The 4.9ghz was not stable at all. I was just seeing if she would get to 5Ghz but i'm satisfied with the results. :) The best stability i've had with this chip has been 4.88Ghz. I can run games and benchmarks with it.

Those results were with a Coolit Freezone elite and a 58 degree ambient :) I left the window open all night and it was ice cold in the computer room so i said what the fuck and went for it.

Yeah, that is genuinely sick. Problem is, we'll be sending a rescue expedition to dig your frostbitten body out of your Polar computer room. GET BACK TO BASE CAMP NOW! :D
