    Mine is water cooled I can run 4050 @ 1.39v, 4.1 @ 1.41v, 4.2 @ 1.45v. Core temps have never broken 56 according to real temp, however my idle temps are always 50 so I don't really trust the temps, I'm betting they are lower. I dont mind 1.4 or 1.45v anything more makes me nervous with 45nm - also I can't say I've ever had a CPU more than 6 months. I'm happy with it, booted over 500 so no low FSB ceilings. Bought it used for $210, lapped it and been playing with it ever since.

    Like most wish I had a magical chip that ran 4.2 Ghz @ stock volts though lol.
