While Deneb routinely seems to hit 3.9-4.1 on air, someone here had hit 5.6 or 5.7 with cold which isn't far off from record.snip~
I beg to differ..My i7-965 runs at 3733mhz at 100% load 24/7 at 61C on air,TRUE and 87CFM 120x38mm fan since November solid with out a hiccup.
Runs SP1M at 4226 and Cinebench10 at 4005.
Not trying to derail the thread but wanted that comment set straight.
