These somewhat automated overclocks will never be as high as if you really knew what you were doing and did it manually but they do get pretty high conservative clocks that are less likely to cause instability problems or premature failures...which is what you want anyway.

I have a i7-2600k clocked up to 4.8 Ghz just by installing a massive heat sink, changing the multiplier and increasing the voltage a little.
Thank you David
