4.2 ghz i7 920 very nice.

is that 80* c loaded stock cooler or just idle?
Is it stable?

How much is it consuming?

From reviews overclocking that high caused a 50w increase idle and 150w increase load.

Which would mean it'd be hard to air cool it?
With that on top of TDP I feel like even a TRUE would get toasted.

Also what's the highest voltage via Intel Specs?
Through all this overclocking I didn't see anyone mention that oddly.
I would think it'd be on the box.

Yes it is hard to air cool, limited availability of coolers doesn't help either. I believe the key to breaking through to 4.5GHz will be keeping the thermal transients low.

ES CPUs don't come in retail boxes!
