Looks like 5.7GHz (600MHz FSB) easy & with a bit of tweaking and wresting 5.8GHz may be possible. These are just some sneak peak results. More information and benchmark results will follow once embargo lifts later this month.
5.8GHz validation = 611MHz FSB >> straight boot from bios

Corsair Factory Tour (Team.AU Exclusive)
Josh (moloko) and Dino (dinos22) from Team.AU got the opportunity to visit Corsair Fremont HQ and receive a tour of the facilities. We were also accompanied by no other than Charles Wirth (aka FUGGER > owner of Xtreme Systems Forum).
First thing is first, Corsair guys made us wear some loony jackets 
and slapped some anti-static slippers 
(perfect for us i must say) >> very pedantic and i must say i liked that. They look after this stuff and pay a lot of attention to detail and quality from what we could see.
