Meet my Venice. Temperature tolerance is higher the lower the Frequency is - sometimes in a impressive way.
The Motherboard had bad caps issues. They got replaced but didn't fixed the issue. I recall hearing of a few Athlons 64 of that era that also were overheating for no reason. I even delidded it. Still didn't figured out what the hell causes it.

Do you needed a Review to know how much faster the Core i7 2700K was over the 2600K? Just raise the multiplier.
