For anyone who has ever overclocked this, what was your maximum settings? The most I can get without changing the voltage is 4.4GHz on a Hyper EVO with a Corsair SP fan.

Without changing the voltage? The default setting is auto and not recommended for oc'ing.

it depends on the CPU. each silicon chip will overclock slightly different.

I run mine at 4.5ghz, but I;ve gotten it to 4.9 with slight instabilities

Turns out I was not giving it enough voltage (1.23 instead of 1.3, my mistake). I'm testing it right now at 1.3/4.5GHz

1.3V is the max voltage you should be using with that CPU. You don't need to crank it up to that level if you can run clocks you like without it.
