I'm thinking about jumping ship to a C2D for awhile till the I7's come down. How overclockable are the E8500's? How fast can they go on water?

I've got mine running @ 4.1ghz on air So with a normal water setup I'd imagine 4.6ghz or maybe slightly higher. They do overclock very well, I've not heard anyone with bad things to say about the E8500 and it's ability to overclock.

Inquisitor,

Could you run a 1M Super Pi test for me and post up the results at that speed?
