What was the best CPU for overclocking of all time?

I used to mess with old Core 2 Duos and early i7s, but my favorite was the i5-2500k. I got it up to 4.7GHz with a decent cooler, and it ran great for years, even with gaming and video work. It was fun tuning everything to get the most out of it.
 
Q6600 2.4GHz to 3.8GHz on air effortlessly, fully stable with anything you benched/threw at it, but would crack 4GHz but not be 'fully' Prime95 stable sometimes, but real world it worked in any game without crashes :)
The GOAT of it's time for sure, bang per buck wise!
 
For me one of the biggest clockers i had and the one i enjoyed clocking the most was the Wolfdale E8600. It was a stonker and gave me loads and loads of fun.
