There are ALOT of issues with the chips preventing them from being run hard like yorkfield or wolfdale. The retail chips seem to be different from the few 3.2 ES's I got the chance to try, but not by much. Maybe with more bios revisions on some diff mobos, we can start to see whats holding what back. I get varying performance on the same chip depending on what mobo it is testd on atm. Some scale with volts, some don't. Some like cold, some don't. Some like high multi's, some don't...uncore, bclock etc etc.
Despite the seemingly low percentage of "good extreme overclocking" cpus, the nehalem arch. is capable of alot more than what anyone posting actively has posted, believe it.
Fact: 5400mhz+ 32M run..5200mhz+ 2k6
.
Prolly needle in a haystack at this point with this revision, but still possible.
