    Day how new is your Q6xxx series chip?

    Mine is from an old batch and a year old. Older batches clocked better. The newer batches are ok at best might just be your chip holding you back. Heard a lot of experienced guys feeling like chumps at overclocking with the newer batch Q6xxx.

    To make me fret, or make me frown.
    I had strings but now I'm free.
    There are no strings on me
