The one and only negative in those chips is the temperature, which is higher than P35. So if you want a highly overclocked system, you have to add a w/c system to your budget
But come on guys isn't this a case of Nit-Picking gone wild? We have folks talking about a 30 to 37% overclock on a Processor that's 3GHz at stock and being what? Hell, at stock it is faster than any Dual Core Processor that shipped last year, out overclocks last years' best on even the cheap boards for what. 200 to 210 dollars? Blackops has for enthusiasts written all over it. The problem is Foxconn (and the rest selling such products) think Enthusiast means Suckers with more money than Brains.

So what are we talking about here 4.4GHz instead of 4.2GHz? At over 4GHz how could we tell if the Processor is 3 or 4 hundred MHz Faster? Sure our wallet can tell the difference LOL! Blackops will cost what again for that extra 200 or 300MHz?
