You'll have to break the evaporative cooler out.
Now given Ivy Bridge is only a very mild update of Sandy Bridge cpu wise, see what you were missing out on stubbornly clinging to that i7 920?

i am not missing out on anything; i am amazed that my i7-920 does so well at 4.2GHz - it doesn't take a backseat to any stock CPU in gaming We rarely have heatwaves of this intensity so early; it will be gone tomorrow (in 24 hours). And it will take a 1/2 day to set up the cooler. i don't have time.

How about at 3.8 where you had it until very recently? 1/2 a day to put a heatsink on?! You got the sunshine, we've had rain all day.

i don't know about 3.8GHz any more; doubtful. i kept moving my OC up until it matched or beat a stock i7-2700K's gaming performance
It's not 1/2 day to put a heatsink on (i am deliberately using a Hyper n212) - it takes 1/2 day to get my house's evaporative cooling going. It got to over 80F inside the house today. Just at the edge of bearable (for me)

i guess it's still pretty warm and i am not going to get very much of an OC with this CPU cooler New version of OCCT is out. And my CPU is running warm at stock under load - i guess i'll break out the NH-DH14 next week

Prefer closer to 20 C.

Thats possible if its a console port or very cpu intensive game like most strategy games sc2,civ5.Otherwise a i7 4.2 is quite enough for all games.

Well, if I'm interpreting right. Bloomfield needs to be at 4.2 ghz to match 3.5 ghz on SandyBridge, and that sandyBridge cpu will easily to do 4.4 ghz and up to 4.8 with relative ease, both of which Bloomfield will have no hope whatsoever of matching. Bloomfield was a highend i7 cpu. 2700K is a mainstream i7, making it all the more impressive.

Prefer closer to 20 C. i am not talking at idle. i am hitting 50s under full load. A 4.2GHz i7-920 appears fast enough with an overclocked GTX 680 - i'd say it is slightly faster than a stock i7-2700K
