2) Probably 4ghz or 4.2 with Turbo Enabled. No HT Enabled tho. CPU would get to hot. It really depends on what kinda chip you get. But water cooling is the only way to go on the i7 imo

I think phase cooling is the best way to cool a chip like this.
Mine runs at -45C or so, depending on how hard I push it.
