Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

Why is it hardly anyone is running above 4Ghz anyway? Although I notice you need quite a bit more Volts at some point for every step you take, Im right now testing 4.3Ghz with 1.408V and my cores are between 50C and 57C

I understand that not every board or CPU can do what others do, but I guess there should be more people getting those results. Since this is well in Intel's spec'd values Im slightly confused why no one is seriously going above 4Ghz according to the spreadsheet

Maybe when the new DOs come out we will see more above 4GHz.

So when is VTT Voltage needed the most? AFAIK when you run high RAM speed you'll need it, I guess this has partly to do because of Uncore=2xhigh RAM speed. Blck? Big or small increases in VTT needed? General CPU OC'ing, needed at all?
