Very nice.
Really interesting

Aww can't believe I've missed this thread (gotta try check Intel section more often compared to News section ), I've been dying to see some proper OC results with full info shared. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Quite impressive Everest (AIDA) memory benchmark numbers, at the stock setting 3.5GHz DDR3-2133 9-10-9-27 you get almost identical results as to my P55 setup at 4.1GHz DDR3-2340 9-10-9-24 !!!

I wonder how safe it would be to run SB 24/7 at such voltages though, that's whereabouts people usually draw the line for their current 45nm Lynnfield setups as far as voltages go for a 24/7 setting (on air), still at least 4.8GHz or so could be done probably at 1.35v or so perhaps and that'd still be a nice result. But so far it seems nearly all SB 2600K reach 5GHz at quite similar voltages ~1.4v so that's a good sign of that the manufacturing process is doing well for SB.
