Ok so at the moment I'm currently running the small FFT test in Prime 95, and so far my CPU has reached - 48,47,46,46 - on the cores respectively. Also, it is running at 4.3GHz - 4.4 GHz with 3 temperature monitors open (HWMonitor, CPUZ, CPU Thermometer) and Origin and Steam. So, what overclock do you think I should attempt?

Those are excellent, excellent temps.

How far you can take the chip really depends on the silicon lottery. Just take small steps and see how far you can take it. Probably quite far if these temps are any indication.

You cannot really say what you should attempt as every chip is different. Start small and try to work your way up from there. I personally would start around 4.5 and see if you can get that stable. There are a lot of people getting theirs to around 4.7; however, like I said, each chip is different and starting small and working your way up is the best bet.

Yeah, unfortunately it's my second chip - had to get the first replaced as it randomly started to run at 80c idle! Other than that I think I'll try 4.5v first then build up from there.
