Overclocking: (Screenshots are hidden)
All configs have been testet with prime95 and blend!

Default:
BCLK: Auto
Multiplier: 34
Voltages Default, Turbo Mode Enabled.
Medium OC:
BCLK: Auto
Multiplier: 48
CPU Voltage: 1,40 Volts
SuperPi is loads faster, Cinebench too.

High OC:
BCLK: manually set to 100Mhz
Multiplier: 50
CPU Voltage: 1,48 Volts
Shame it did fluctuate a bit and i couldnt grab a screenie showing the 5,0ghz :(
SuperPi is _slower_ than before but Cinebench a bit faster. (maybe someone can enlighten me on this)


I then did try BCLK 55 and various other stuff but it Bluescreened after some minutes into windows so will have to take a closer look at this laters.

On that note, I found this ASUS rep's comments useful for overclocking 5+ Ghz: Juan_Jose ASUS Technical Marketing Specialist at http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1578110. At least we know their comments are backed by a heap of fried silicon.

Some stats he gives are that only 5% can hit 4.8~5 GHz and only 2% of the top 5% can actually achieve x50+ multipliers.

Those new intels look pretty nice, the next update on this architecture should be interesting.

That *bump* button is weird...

At the risk of committing the heresy of thread necromancy...

I have a watercooled I7 2600K on the Asrock P67 Extreme6 board - my day-to-day running is 4.4GHz without touching the voltage settings. I was extremely comfortable upping the voltages on a previous system (Q6600 from 2.4GHz 1.2v > 3.6GHz at 1.5v), but a little scared at cooking my chip this time!!

Any hints from experience beyond what is printed on the all-knowing google?
