Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

Been there, felt the same way after buying the E6700. E6600 were just as good for about $300 USD less.

Yeah well, I guess maybe it was karma for giving up on AMD after 12 years with them All in all, I was too cheap to pay for bragging rights of a 965 XE and I stupidly assumed that same thing which applies in AMD world applied in Intel world so I figured the 920 would be low-binned and a 940 would be high-binned (boy did this backfire). This is a lesson for all times, at least when using Intel. Either go low, or go top of the line just for the bragging rights. It's all the same thing anyway, just packaged differently.

That and I broke one of my cardinal rules...never adopt a new tech in the beginning...but I just could not resist the i7...
