Well not even phase can help you if you get one of the crappiest i7 ever made:



That's right, this is all I am going to get out of this dog chip. It does NOT work with the 20x or 21x mult (no not even 4,2 Ghz with 1,6V), only likes 19x.. which means you hit a brick wall above 210 BCK if you're shooting for real stability.
I need 1,46V VTT for 211 stable, 213 needs close to 1,6V VTT for linpack stability. Forget getting higher or forget real stability.

AND DO NOT BUY 3838A
