I haven't found a program to reliably detect CPU frequency in OSX so ill boot windows when Im back at my hack (rhymes ) tomorrow and post a cpuz pic

And before anyone else gets any more ideas, let me make this absolutely clear:
I was VERY lucky to get a chip that can reach 5.0GHz, most top out at around 4.5. Also, to reach 5.0GHz originally I went on a SUICIDE RUN (not recommended, it's called that for a reason.). Another thing, setting your core voltage to anything above 1.35 volts WILL shorten the life of your chip, and anything above 1.4 is considered UNSAFE. I chose to take these risks as I have the overclocking warranty from intel.
Finally a tip, if your machine is brand new, burn it in by using it for a few months before you go for a crazy overclock, it helps.
I'll start a thread in the overclocking section in a while and will continue there so we don't ruin this one

Did you tried 5 GHz?

Not yet, school is killing me and when I get a break I will probe this chip's precise limits like any good scientist would
And play skyrim.
