    Max bclk of ~220, expect way lower though for most chips.

    Impresive chip i didn't expèct such high MHz right on launch.

    Fugger is there a limiting factor? vcore is pretty low the chip doesnt like more volts? multiplier limited?

    The chips have a max frequency and it seems to be the same on all boards, going colder or adding more volts does not help.

    also, is there any difference in ex58-ud5 and ex58 extreme besides one fet and an outrageous nb cooler?
    I'm also interested in your opinions of the boards you've played with Charles...what do you think of the R2E?

    lol people don't get your hopes up - you can't up the voltage on the two non- extreme versions of i7... not very overclockable

    nice vcore lol fugger!
    keep it up man

    Grats very sexy.

    I wanna hear about how useful turbo mode is. And how the wattage cap affects the non-extreme overclocks. Not complaining just anxious pouting.

    Of course you can adjust the voltage on the non-extreme's as well.

    Really? I thought AM3 was a bandwidth hog really. I've seen it gain far more in terms of memory bandwidth as opposed to cpu speed or cores

    Probably due to bandwidth and latencies, Dino. Were the tests ran in identical test environments?

    AM3 is not a multithreaded application and can therefor not benefit from multi-core processors. It's the bandwidth that plays a role here, not the addition of two cores.

    I can confirm this.
    I've noticed it when I was reviewing the QX9650 and the E8400.
    Both on the same platform, same settings ( exactly the same BIOS settings ), fresh Windows XP SP2 installations, drives, drivers, etc.
