Sandybridge is definitely panning out to be the most significant step in CPU technology in recent times.
Ok, this chart pulled from their site with my results, ignore their clock speeds as it's showing original speeds not OC speeds, but those are the max numbers with those chips. Not bad for a sub £300 chip imo
They're enterprise class server chips for workstations, and the top one in that chart is hexacore, has support for 288gb of ecc ram.

Prime stable at 1.37vcore 4.8ghz 48 x 100 ram at 1.5v CPUPLL 1.8v VCCIO and VCCSO auto
Funnily enough, with the lower vcore comes lower temps, and i'm idling at the same 23c, but not really seeing over 55c under full load.
Yes, there might be some duff chips, or duff motherboards that are overvolting (or enthusiasitic overclockers overvolting
) but I would say that Sandybridge, for me, is awesome My 24/7 setup is running 4.5ghz at 1.27vcore, so it's all gravy

^^
Even though my bclk is 100 (10000) it's showing a .5
Possibly cpuz isn't properly optimised with SB/P67 yet?

Must surely be either duff chips or motherboards voltage spiking death machine?
Quick update, bought another 2 x 2GB of the GeIL Value Plus 1600mhz so all 4 ram slots are populated (4 x 2GB total), no degradation, same clock speeds, same benchmark results (SuperPi and Cinebench 11.5)
Stock timings and volts as per the ram sticker 9-9-9-28 @ 1.6v
I have these running at 9-9-8-24 @ 1.45v
Get 'em while there cheap folks

Sorry dude, didn't get them till this morning
Been testing, and have undervolted from the standard MSI VCCORE of 1.24v at stock speeds to 1.168v. Will keep trying to go lower/stable and see where I end up.
Just a quick test on prime, don't think it'll go any lower than this, temps look good for 25% fan at full load
Am amongst giants in a SuperPi test (DB006 7.706)

Done, who's the daddy?

4.8ghz
God damn you dave beast.
I am this -><- close to putting an order similar to your spec but using a 2500K and a MSI P67A-GD65.
How is that CoolerMaster Hyper 212 plus cooler?
Takes me up to 4.8ghz with no drama, running on a 4.5ghz 24/7 with idle temps in the low to mid 20's
Don't think I posted this in here yet. A look at the cooler and mobo
The Cooler Master stuff that came with it in a small tube.
Just over 1 week on, a few bios's later, now running 1.8b5 bios, i've finally managed to hit 5ghz at quite a low vcore, and temps were 38c at ghz idle
Only ran just long enough to obliterate my previous SuperPi 1m time, now returned back to a happy 4.5ghz at 1.27vcore
The new bios adds quite a few extra settings for extreme overclocking, not on MSI's main site, you have to search for it

Just an update to my previous SuperPi 1m
Ran the ram a little slower, and the chip a little higher for the test - Note, the actual vcore on the voltage point on the board was 1.595v, so CPU-Z is wrong

For the above overlock which was for running SuperPi only, was running a CM Hyper 212+ with push/pull Coolermaster fans at full throttle, temps didn't get over 50c as the cpu wasn't getting stressed.
