Even if you cant get to 5.0, you will still run far cooler at 4.6 with water than on air. I'm amazed at how cool it keeps my video card. I'm at 1125/1575 and I hit 41C max in 3DMark, om stock cooling that would push probably over 70C

Yeah, 5.0 is a nice round number to brag about although there's no real advantages to it over the typical 4.6-4.8, and Sandy Bridges seem to hit a wall at 4.8 or lower (Ivy Bridges are even worse), where the required voltage to push it higher is just too unsafe/leads to early degradation. But we're talking 24/7 voltages, and there's no reason to do that unless you're folding.
