With the 2600K, reaching 4.0 GHz should be about as easy as falling off a log.

Fine.

Reaching 4.0GHz will be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

Overclocking Sandy Bridge is so easy it isn't even funny.

Just raise the vcore a bit and you can probably hit 5 GHz.

5GHz takes a bit of trial and error, but 4.5 or below is easy mode typically. Better to have an already fast processor that's easy to overclock than a slow one that is a pain to overclock
