I did indeed, just didnt think people would push pass 4.5 because of the temps

Just make sure you delay getting married / children - they can reduce your disposable income greatly!
Or find someone like Mrs Bios!

The more you earn, the more commitments you end up with. Mortgage cars, bulls and so forth. Chen of course you have to justify blowing so much money on playing games as an adult.

Apologies for the poor typing, my phone keeps switching languages and spellchecker gives up.
I was just about to post this. Watching through it now. So far it seems that max voltage is around 1.25V-1.3V with a max frequency of around 4.8GHz, with these chips.
Edit: He's using a Corsair H60, so I guess you may be able to squeeze a bit more out of it using the best air-coolers?

You dont run prime because the chip gets way too hot.
It's not much of a step from that to "You don't stability test because it's not stable."
As for people struggling to get over 4.5... early indications seem to be that the ES chips are not as good as the retail ones. Too early to be definitive, but it's encouraging.

However this is not encouraging.
