2 - You are not using much vcore and from what I gather except for the VTT voltage you are not adjusting anything else, which implies that you are not having to tweak much to get the high FSB.

3 - Virtually every post I have read on any Intel quad shows a FSB wall of around 475FSB unless going with something better than air.

4 - You are using mainstream boards to do your testing, not extreme boards like the Maximus II.

I am glad you are able to get your chip to such heights. What I am trying to figure out is whether it is the chip, the chipset or some setting you are using that the rest of the overclocking world is missing. This is why people have asked for you to post your settings time and time again. What I would love is for someone to be able to duplicate the results, but I haven't seen that yet. Please, just post your settings so that someone here can try and duplicate what you are achieving.

Am I skeptical? Sure I am and everyone here should be untill others have the same success. Am I doubting your integrity or skill? Not at all. I just think you have a golden chip and the results will not be duplicated by anyone else.

i didnt mean you.. my wording not so great.. was just referring to what you said.. its all cool

ive taken it up to 560x9 5040mhz of course just a system boot not os on air

how do you know im not adjusting anything else ? maybe i am

ill let the good/veteran overclockers tell you guys what im doing.. they know what im doing

time will prove me.. dont worry guys ill surely wont be the only one @ these clocks
