see here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14189911 as it stated here: The Intel Core i7 950 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 3.06Ghz processor at only £464.99
inc VAT has the potential to hit never before seen overclocks thanks to the D0 stepping and x23 multiplier.

Tbh i dont see 4.4ghz happening on that chip on air or a H50, your into the realm of custom watercooling to attain clockspeeds like that.

I did managed to get 4.4Ghz on air cooler here: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=958738

Was it prime/linx/ibt stable at that speed bulldog? If so well done.

Yes it stable on prime/linx/ibt on max temp at 83c, 81c, 80c, 82c but only getting around 75C max on gaming, as it should be fine! Will not using prime for 24 hours 7 days a week lol

Nice one, but i wouldnt fancy running it like that during the summer months. This is my biggest problem when it comes to cooling, during the summer the sun is beating into my room for the best part of the day, tends to get a bit too warm.

Yeah that 100% right, I just downgrade to 3.8Ghz in summer month!
