Whilst hitting the shower i had a thought i need you guys opinion on.
Intel delayed the Q9770 cpu for what reason? Wasn't it long term stability issues?
Since these run at 400FSB by default i can see some similarity with running an overclocked Wolfdale.
Could it be the same sort of issues some of us experience with our Wolfdales Intel is reffering to?

Haven't heard about the Q9770, but I thought the other 45nm quads were delayed because of instability with high fsb on lower quality mb. I will say one thing, all the talk and now the death of AriciU's cpu has changed what I was planing to try. I think I'll be keeping my cpu below 1.4 vcore until the dust settles a little more. It makes me more concerned when I see that AriciU has pretty much the same cooling as I'm using.
