Both of mine are too ... Still sealed.... It's a trap !

Is it watercooled? Temps, volts etc? Thanks
I managed to get 4.8GHz with temps maxing out under 90 degrees "stable" for 20 minutes. It won't be my 24/7 clock, but it is nice to see what this chip is capable of. I've heard that these chips are more resilient than SB and can take higher temps better, but I really see no point in the risk of damaging your CPU for next to no real world gains.
I'm tempted to try 4.9GHz but I can see the temps going through the roof. I may give it a try tomorrow, but I'm going to stick to 4.5GHz @ <60 degrees for now.
Hi,
So I've just bought a system. I have a 3570K, but with only the stock cooler. I'd like to put a modest overclock on it.
What I need to do is?
1. Increase the multiplier an increment
2. Stress test to see if I'm stable (large prime?)
3. If I become unstable, increase the VCore
4. Repeat whilst ensuring Max Temp does not exceed 80*C?
Does that seem right?
Thanks
Ok, great. From my understanding upping LLC will reduce my vdroop. Giving me a more consistent voltage?
So what is the general consensus on max vcore for these new chips?
3570K At 5.2ghz now 24/7 RAM at 2800mhz 11-13-13-23 1T. Prime stable, AIDA stable and Linx stable on ASUS MVG. Voltages 1.455cpu, 1.2 VCCSA, 1.275 VCCIO, PLL 1.7.
