I soooo wanted to break the 2000, but I'm not gonna fry my chip :)

i7-2600k @ 4.94GHz: 1840
i7-2600k @ 5.15GHz: 1920

Also 3 points from #1 spot, shucks.

Yeah it could be worse. I've been trying to find a good price for a socket 775 quad core but everyone seems to think there worth there weight in gold.

Just buy a cheap mobo combo
maybe something like this:
intel:

or amd:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1094305

Both pretty good in gaming.
The vishera should be better in multithreaded apps and some others too, gaming the i3 should be about 10-5% better.

Probably it would, but I want to stay below 1.46v.
You took a risk running over 1.5v :P

I don't run 1.5v normally, just had to try and beat the 2000. I usually run it at 4.4 @ 1.325v :)
I have several profiles saved for the different clocks, depends on my mood or if I'm gonna extract/pack huge files etc.

It's not the board it's the chip. Certain chips have multiplier walls, apparently you got a dud to only have a 48 multi chip. Most can atleast hit 50 multiplier.

Nope, read what I said under that post. I just don't want to up the voltage that high as it can damage anything. I can oc to 4.9ghz under 1.5v but not stable.
And it's just my board that's bad, I tried booting 5ghz but I just couldn't get in bios anymore. Had to reset with the jumper.
If my mobo wouldn't be the problem it would just say "oc failed".
 
No it wouldn't, you can get a no post with a multiplier wall no problem. Plus, it was probably lack of voltage anyway for 5ghz, that can result in a no post as well with nothing to do with the board.
 
As you maybe know, my board has almost no oc features.
It's not meant for overclocking.
I've to do it in offset mode, no other option.
I can't modify load-line calibration.
And I never know what my voltage will be since it just leaves the given voltage behind.
I've almost no other power management options.
All overvoltage is all I've.

True on p/z/x chipsets. However, I would not be crying about not being able to do 4.9+GHz on a cheap board like yours. A v pro could likely do it, but not below 1.5V unless you have a very good chip.

Would it be dangerous if I use over 1.5v on my mobo? Or is it just as dangerous as if you do it with a more expensive one?
 
It is not above the SB max of 1.52V, so your chip should be fine, if your temps are under control.

Not to say that a low phase board won't buckle under the stress. It will probably function, but you need to watch the VRM temps. It would be safer on a higher end board, as the VRM chips would run cooler (as they have more power phases to run through).

Basically, you can do it, but I do not recommend it.
 
The only difference is a cheap board might have quit a bit more Vdroop under load which causes you to set higher than necessary voltage to keep the chip stable.
