No....to get to 5GHz requires extemely low temperatures due to "leakage".
Lowering temperatures reduces leakage...but at 20 degrees below tj max there is WAY too much leakage occuring to attain 5GHz

The highest stable speeds I've ever seen on Q6600 CPUs were 3.8-4.0 GHz with air/water cooling.
My old Q6600 was stable at 3825MHz on air with 1.55V
