(maybe a little info for all: I wouldn't run that QPI voltage on air as my first chip died with 1.55V set in bios, 1.5 real after some hours of 32m testing :( )

run it air 1,55 a lot of hours too with no problems, think there are a lot bad chips, its still es though.

Q3QP don´t like voltage so much , FE are very $$$$$$ :(

So what do you have then? Q3E2? There are only 3 2,4G stock CPUs that I am aware of..

Q3E2 and it sucks compared to the 3QR , runs like a good i7, but hell i look for a second one to run in a dual board and kick you´re wprime 1024 ass.:rofl:

chip has 2 qpi though. ;)

I know.. the only Gulftown to have 2 QPIs.. ES error :ROTF:

Would be interesting to see even one of these in a DP board. Just to see whether they can be unlocked. I doubt it though, as those DP boards weren't designed with overclocking in mind, they cannot use the higher turbo multipliers that those unlocked chips have (unlocked Nehalems ALL work through turbo).

Same with the W5590. Unlocked in desktop boards, it cannot go past 25x mult in DP LGA1366 boards (well, 26 with turbo, but that's it)

ow didn't knew that , but hey , dave would trade all the women at his home for 2 gulftown chips @ 26x133 :rofl:


so those unlocked 2,4 would run 19x turbo at you're board?

I would assume that, yes :(
Unless you can somehow get a fixed bios.
