LN2 and your good for 5.6Ghz,keep pushing to get into early/mid 9th second.
The E8400 does 4.2-4.5 on stock.4.0-4.2 is what i would call safe with stock cooling.
These processors have a higher Tjunction so there's more head room for overclocking.
Keep up the good OC work.

Who knows maybe 9s is not the best one ;)
LN2 is my next attempt. Well its not as easy as it seems. Remember, i have multi locked CPU. for 5.6-5.7, i need 622 FSB, which is not exactly easy to achieve, my IX38 is not going to do it for sure.
Lets see if my 'new' board expected in a weeks time, does it ;)
