Are you talking about 24/7 ready/stable settings or one of those "OMGBBQ i ran SP1M and it's stable,look at my winner score!1! ?Because on air i haven't seen much past 4.1Ghz stable(stable in a sense it can sit like that 24/7 constantly and run full load across 4 cores like that).Don't forget that at those OC clocks and overvolt,your core i7 draws massive amounts of power(like >350W for the CPU alone;the temps. would be 83+C on H20).
