are you benchmarking or going to use it? If you are going to use it, then I think you are done, and you better cross your fingers it lasts. For benchmarking you may be able to hit 5ghz if your chip is willing. Lots of people hit a wall at 4.8 or so i've read.

I also hit the wall at 4.8, my system was a littel bit unstabel at 4.9

Under P95 ?

I am running 69-79 (core 3 highest) at 48 multiplier using the offset method (it downclocks when not under load) under P95 at 1.408 volts and CAS 7 memory settings. Given the wide spread between cores, I'm thinking I may wanna re-seat the TIM. Fans are still running well below max at about 1000 rpm.... so I may crank them up a bit to see if I can do better.

However, as recommended here:

I have set up an "everyday" BIOS profile for 24/7/365 usage at 4.4 Ghz. When I get my hands on the machine again, son on spring break so been at it all week .... ...... I am gonna turn off HT at the 4.8 Ghz setting which I expect will drop it at least 7C and set that as a gaming profile .... after that, may turn up the fans and go for 5.0 Ghz.
