The AOD version appears old and the cpu-z version reads the voltage wrong. Mainly, I put the ss up more for entertainment and pushback. There are three or so sources that show similar results but usually the hsf is huge and the test is on an open bench setup or just a standalone board. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest that 4.0Ghz is doable, load stable. My belief from everything I have read is that the chip's tdp is lower than current phenom's, and certainly much lower than Nehalem. I think the Hex test of Nehalem was also on a bench and so temps with a case will probably be higher. Even in the Hex test Nehalem, running at stock clocks with the stock hsf, had temps at 75c under 100% load. It's a great chip just hotter than heill.
