This is the current rig I finished putting together last night, currently at all stock voltages, frequencies. I am wanting to try and push 5ghz. I have seen reports of people getting to 4.7ghz without any issues so I think I should be able to get it stable with this setup.

Comments? Concerns? Suggestions?

huh, because previously I had a Q6600 and I was able to change the voltages pretty easily without really increasing the temps drastically. Is the i-series different in some manner that makes even slightly adjusting their stock voltages a bad idea?

Yeah the H60 was on sale, and I got lower temps than with the heatsink I already had. It was more of an impulse buy than anything.

Got any recommendations for a pump?

No it is just Ivy Bridge. You can get to 5.0ghz fairly easily and safely with Sandy Bridge but Ivy Bridge you cannot because the temps increase drastically when you up the voltage.
