My first x3220 did 3.4 @ 1.5v. My second one only 3.0 stable. I should have kept the first one. They were both batch L640F. I wasnt happy at all, although 3.4 isnt bad. I was hoping for 3.6. Also i could never get ram stable over 800mhz no matter what timings. It would always fail orthos blend. This was with EVGA board. Maybe that has been fixed with latets bios. I think my next quad will be qx6800 whenever they make retail.

Back somewhat on topic, ExcaliberPC just called me about my DFI pre-order. They said that DFI couldn't tell them when they would get their shipment of these boards. He asked me if i wanted a refund. That was either really nice of them, or it was gonna be a long long time until the received boards. I hope it was b/c they were just doing good business.
