25c @ 4.5 idle and mid'ish 50's under load on air, 4.6 and low 30's with a little tweaking and mid 60's underload and finally 4.7 with the same idle and mid 60's low 70's either I have a peach or these crappy CPU's ain't as bad as some say they are.
Either way I'm happy, even tho my 4.7 oc failed on prime after 2 hours but is stable at 4.6 after 9+ hours
I guess if I went liquid I may get a bit more out of, but hey ho. Not to shabby for just over 160 quid.
An overclock to 4.6 on a processor with a max stock speed of 4.4 is hardly meaningful by any standards. Unless you're referring to the i5, at which point going from 3.9 to 4.6 is slightly better but still poor compared to going from 2.8 to 4.6 on previous generation Core CPUs.
