Overall, the idea behind my testing was to discover limitations of Core i7 920 and i7 940. Core i7 965 EE certainly has more flexibility in that you should be able to keep your BCLK (and therefore QPI) lower while running better memory due to unclocked multipliers. Furthermore, the idea behind my testing was not to cripple the chip features to get higher clocks (such as turning off HT/cores, etc.) or to be running voltages that are dangerously close to absolute maximums (e.g., 1.5V+).

Some may consider 1.5V safe, but I'd be betting those chips will not be surviving very long of they are run most of the day over extended periods of time. In my opinion, if I cannot stay below 1.46V the clocks I am demanding are too high. But, only time will show.
what IS your setup? what speeds are you running?
