Dave, it's not a negative way to think, it is a realistic view on things after taking the costs and probability of finding a good CPU into account. In case you want to play in the top 10, you would need such a 4.8 GHz CPU, though I would love to see some details about that system. The 965 I played around with, can't even run at 3.8 GHz WCG stable for more than 16 hours. That was with 1.35V. More voltage and either the CPU or the heatsink starts to melt So, I would say, "my CPU is crap" =)

From the results XS members posted, it seems like there are a lot of CPUs that don't OC too well, especially on LN2, though you don't even need LN2 at -50 :P:

This experiment will proof nothing if you ask me. It is interesting for sure, but as a response to the AMD demo, it has some negative side effects to me. I had the pleasure to meet Francois at Intel Germany in Munich this year and what he told me back then does not seem to match the attitude he is showing right now =/
