I think sandybridge is very very fragile chip! Had to be more careful when overclocking exspecially vcore voltage

I do wonder if the ES chips Intel sent out had the same issues because none of the review sites have mentioned their chips failing. So far all the threads I have seen have been reporting i5 2500k fails. This may just be because more 2500k's have been sold than 2600k's
It's far too early to say, but could there be a fault in this batch of chips?

I remember wolfdale chips being pushed too far by some people on release. Some people carried on as if they were like the indestructible 65nm conroe chips.
...been abusing my Q6600 for ages and it still very much alive and kicking.!
overclocking as always should be done at your own risk and with great care..! (unless you have conroe chip, then just go for it!)

In fact the second hand market was full of these "degraded" chips.
What do you mean within spec? What value of Vcore were you using at 4.8GHz?was running a Vcore within the spec, well within the spec at 4.8ghz
