Bro from experience I can tell you the Megahalem bro. Water is great but for an i7 you need a heck of a good water setup which is lotta $$$$$ even if you buy parts used. THe cooler is like $60 or something.

My max temp was 90ºc benching wPrime @ 4687 MHz 1.494v. Good enough for me, daily I was able to run up to 4.3 GHz @ 1.240v with temps only at 70-72ºc If I recall correctly.

thanks for your input. You have anything to say about the Asus RII gene?

The only problem I have had with mine crunching at 100% is that the Northbridge gets very hot at high overclocks. Needs extra cooling.

I got up to 4.2 Ghz on air, it would start but Windows wouldn't load. Haven't played around with the settings yet though.

4.2 Ghz on Air. i7 Rampage II Extreme.

Any opinions on the minimum voltage for > 4.0 Ghz?

Sandra Si is pretty tough on processors.

I'm think that a methodical approach to benchmarking is needed. It would take a day or two to complete. Start at 133 Mhz and continue up to 200 Mhz, benchmarking at 1 Mhz intervals and measuring perfomance each time.
