***OVERCLOCKING GUIDELINES***
- Do not exceed 1.35-1.38v core voltage, doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Do not overclock with BCLK, again doing so could limit lifespan of the CPU
- Recommended memory voltage is 1.50v, so make sure to run your memory at 1.50v, higher could limit lifespan of the CPU
- These recommendations come from OcUK and Intel, your warranty is un-affected but we highly recommend you adhere to the above to make sure your CPU lifespan is un-affected
- All Sandybridge CPU's worldwide should be run at the above or lower voltages, no higher!

And it's been like that since a week after they came out earlier this year (leave any cpu @ stock for a week for the thermal past to cure before getting into overclocking, ignore this at your own risk). This is the OEM though so you'll need to buy a cooler separate, I'd expect with higher performance cooler to get even more out of it no problem. My first attempt at a long term stable overclock and it was just effortless, although it's a good idea to know what your doing it's far simpler to do than ever before.
nicer than my evga 570 in fact, that's just a boring plastic cover over it with a little fan
