Boy did you take the words right out of my mouth.
5GHz will be everyones goal but I can understand that.
They see benches from "talented"OC'ers showing 5.4.-5.5 and everyone builds the system and before ever booting to windows sets the bios at 5GHz..
If I can offer anything it's that these chips will have variables.
We'll see the dogs that need 1.4v for 4200 and the gems that will do 5.5 at under 1.4v..
Learn the chip,see what it does and slowly bring it up.
Be smart here and be happy with what your chip does and forget what anyone else gets except for general knowledge for your own testing.
