Great results man!

I see that you have 20(default) multiplier + plus 1 = 21 multiplier. Do you enable Turbo mode ?
If yes, can you show me "how to activate Turbo" ?

I would like to see some Temps there. :P

Great work!

Can you please tell me the northbridge and PWM temperature? (only to see if it is worth the extreme version)
Can you measure the power of the overclocked system?
which is the rock solid frequency?
Go on with tests:)

The 965 does What ever multi you want :)No it doesn't. It has a limit of 40 on the Gigabyte EX58 Extreme

nice score's.. does the Gigabyte X58 Extreme Edition really need the Water Cooling setup on the North Bridge? i'm thinking of getting one and i do have water cooling.. i just didt'nt want to spread my loop thin by tieing in the CPU and NB.. i wanted a dedicated CPU line..

Just want my waterblock so I can push it further.

how are your temps at that speed with the stock cooler?

the only thing holding me back is how every cooling manufacturer took a nap during the i7 release. :(

On a little over 1.4v that's pretty good. Nice. Am curious about temps too.

Hi thefrenchbird

Great system and nice job!

Just like to know if such a configuration can pass Prime 95 for 24 hour? ;)

Looking forward to your testing :D
