Yeah, as a whole they aren't known for being the best. But the same is true with E8400's of the 81 batch and mine does over 4.2..so its luck of the draw.

I have no idea what my batch # is since the CPU's lapped! But I have a 24x7 stable 3.6 with a 1.3000 VID. Even if you get one of the worst chips with a 1.3250 VID you should be able to hit 3.4 for 24x7 stable.
MY E6600 VID IS 1.3250 and I can hit 3.4 but with 1.48 v and it's too high for just 3.4
and I don't want to get quad to do 3.4 on the same high voltage!

If you need 1.48 volts to get 3.4, then that's probably as far as you'll go (unless you want to exceed 1.5V and take your chances). But that voltage is fine for 24x7 load. I've had mine running for over a month stable at 1.4875Vcore.
And don't be TOO unhappy, remember stock is 2.4 so you've gotten a free GHz!
