As in Super-duper-cherry-OMGZ-HIGHLEAKAGE-owner-chip-sample or as in pre-retail sample? (dont know what to call the "normal" ES samples)
for internet maybe yes :), but for stability think, upo 4 GHz with C3 u will use 1.475-1.5V
Really nice results PcCI2iminal:up:
I can't wait to get hands on C3 Phenom! I was saving for that upgrade since I got my excellent 940BE!
If things will go well I will also jump on to DDR3 platform.
BTW what is default NB voltage on that CPU? I'm asking because my board lacks regulation for that :mad:
STill wonder if my Q6600 should be replaced by a Phenom 2 or i7 when I got watercooling, so much to save going amd
well ,i still using my old and good Yorkfield and i will replace soon for a Lynnfield,nothing against Phenom but i prefer Intel :D
i like Bloomfield but its energy-wasting for me
i will choose Lynnfield cz its everything what i need
cheaper than Bloomfield ,cooler,fast and energy-efficient
Year a cheap i5 might be the best solution for me when I am mostly gaming.
My Q6600 have done well though with 3.6 on air and now 3.75 on water (Not prime stable, but gaming stable^^) Just wonder how much the i5 will go on water, is a i5 better clock for clock than a Q6600 btw?
Yes seems so its a really good pick. Nice result.
