(edit)
Oh wait thats mike's setup, dont know if its prime stable, but he gets like 10c air blowing over the radiator, that or a little cooler or a little warmer, thats his secret.

It is winter and I have 4" flexible hose running from outside to the rad which gives me really low temps to be able to get clocks that high. I can run just fine depending on outside temps. Since its been kind of warm for winter temps are about 15C idle during the day but drop pretty low 5C idle at night. If the idle temps are below 10C then I can overclock to 5.2Ghz and under load it wont pass 55C.
Its better than keeping my room temps between 50 and 60F like bo40 stated above which is just rediculous. I would never set in a cold azz room just to have lower temps. Thats just unnecessary and plain dumb imo.

outherwise im in here playing with my quadfired 8150 machine and my sli 8150 machine

When I was on the 8150 With the antec 920 modded for 2 radiators (one h70 and other antec920=same) I couldnt keep anything over 4.6ghz cool, I think that was 1.45v but dont remember completly now. I really want to love bulldozer so I hope more good gaming results become official with the patch, my local frys has the 8120 in stock for $199.99 and I want an excuse to buy it Otherwise I may have to go to the darkside in the future

If I needed it that bad I would make something to funnel all the air coming from the AC to go to the rad and then it probably still be after it went through so probably run a hose for the exhaust to go outside. There is no way that I would have my office cold like that. Thats pointless. Everytime you want to use it your uncomfortable. Not worth it to me. If I had to have over 5 Ghz, I would figure something else out than that. Personally I think its kinda rediculous to sit in a freezin azz room just to use your own PC. But thats just me although I think a lot of people would have to agree.
Windows 8 will handle it better. I mean how much can they really do to the scheduler with a hotfix. Really I dont know but I would wait for real BD results till then. Also, BD is not optimized and therefore is flawed. Its a brand new architecture that no one has experience with until now. I would wait till PD atleast before you give up on BD architecture. The architecture is good it just need to know how to be optimized and handled the correct way. To do this it takes time. SB is optimized and BD is not. Before you make your decision I would wait until BD is optimized too. Also, there is a bonus in having BD architecture which is the very high demand for multithreaded programming. Unless you are the kind of person that upgrades all the time then BD is a great cpu for the not so far future.
