Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[nugzo]

NapalmV5's numbers are perfect achievable on some cold water. What is very strange, is that he claims he is doing it on air.
Anyway, that is one thing we will probably never know I have the right to doubt it if I want to...

Most of the fake posts are from kids with low posts. Napalm has been around here for at least 6 years. While i may have sounded a little skeptical at first, and a lot of others are/were, His results were rather outstanding. This not the first time though we have seen outstanding results here at XS. After seeing his setup, and his results, he obviously knows wtf hes doing. Look at his setup, he's not using on board anything. Areca for drives, pci nic, excellent air cooling and none of his fans are even hooked up to the motherboard. That setup in my opinion could do what he claims its doing. He may not want to share all of his secrets, but nothing says he has to. If it were me, i'd want to show you guys everything. Some people don't. That doesn't make them a fake.

Keep up the good work Napalm! You've encouraged me to pick up 1 or 2 of these 9650s. I know this Striker isnt the best for FSB, but i'll do what i can.
