Normally you would expect more volts to give you a bit more but this seems to be a proper wall. This wall seems a lot more substantial than any effects caused by high temps.

Comments appreciated.

Simular results except for the wall at 4600. My E8500 does all 3Dmarks at 4510mhz with 1.48v however not over 4560mhz in 1M same volts. Never get an error because of cpu speed spi just shuts down. Goin up to 1.60v gains me about 150mhz for 1M though, max about 4710mhz at those volts.
