and for ya Crysis high detail experience, there's only one way to make that playable that's either an 9800X2 or a newer ATI or Nvidiot card, CPU power there isn't that much needed as GPU power is... such a badly coded game...
,sry couldnt resist, because its so true...
My quad does pretty well for a 1.3v VID. 484FSB with 6GB and 489 with 2GB RAM, with 1.6375V voltage. No 4GHz though. Still it eats everything on its way, and cheap also.
But indeed quad processors are really burdening the motherboard. They need high voltage on NB and PLL. Me runs 1.7V NB and 1.8PLL voltage, tbh also 1.5 VTT and 2.45 for RAM.
But since its stable and i got watercooling, me can be arsed with the voltages...
