I max out at around 38c but I am not water cooled, I have one of those huge Noctua heatsinks. I have never had much luck overclocking this processor because heat rises REALLY quickly. I'll look into it again though, I might be able to get to 4.4 Ghz but I am not foreseeing 5 Ghz happening on this rig.
