How funny... Anyway, in case 1.55V is really too much (is it?), just why they didn't went up to 1.5? Perhaps because BD would have reached 5.1-5.2, indeed?
im thinking the reviewer needs to learn a little more about overclocking. using the stock heatsink is a bad idea when it comes to a chip that clearly scales due to cold, not volts. SB is rather simple, you up the volts a little and just overclock, ignoring temps. but with thuban and apparently the same with BD, you need to make sure you balance temps with volts. seeing 4.8ghz on stock heatsink is quite nice, since it does confirm that 5ghz should be easy for WC or bigger heatsinks.
