Guys he's right. We're dealing with electricty, and that's what I've always studied the most. Things like loadline, and load balancing, voltage delta's between what is coming IN from the PSU and what is going to the socket (vDroop). I actually used to measure this stuff on my old IC7-G directly via a test point soldered to the board. I did vMods.
Oh the horror...
Lemme tell 'ya, when i started doing those vMods, nothing will get the adrenaline flowing faster than when you push that power button the first time after doing a mod to your mobo!
I hope the warning he gave we all already are aware of. There are NO guarantees with OC'ing. It's gotten much easier and some take it for granted, but if you do it, you risk your hardware. It used to be said "If you don't have the money to replace your enetuire system don't do it at all." Some people used to go on to say "Do not come back here and blame me if you let the smoke out of your hardware. If you OC, it's YOUR risk. Take any info I post at your own risk."
The "feeling" I'm getting (and I know these guys are under strict NDA's) is that this CPU is something very different than we are used to. I also feel like there are mnay things yet to be revealed about it. They have stated point blank though that OC'ing has been taken into consideration at many levels, so I'm assuming it's gonna be another great CPU.
I'm glad I waiteds before buying memory now though, and am gonna follow those new JEDEC standards if that's what it takes. I love this design. It has alot of forward thinking to it. It's a completely different kind of running.
