    My i7-860 on the other hand won't overclock at all.
    Even bclck of 140 at stock volts isn't stable.
    Does vastly better with turbo disabled of course but I'm not willing to do that since it works so well for daily use.

    The i3s, if you didn't know, do not have turbo.
    The dual-core i5s do but they're so much more expensive I'm not sure what Intel is thinking the market for them might be.

    You should overclock it further
