    Geez this is pissing me off. I CANNOT get 3.8GHz stable to save my life.

    Oh how spoiled I was with my 4.4GHz E8600 Air OC...

    These i7's are different animals...

    Sounds like we traded places. I had an E6420 that would do 3.2GHz and hit a brick wall. My i7 920 is doing over 4GHz under 1.3V.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    Boy, what a difference disabling HT makes. I have my 920 running 50 passes Intel Burntest/12-hr Prime 95 stable @4.0Ghz 1.31vcore. I don't use a single program that would make use of Hyper-threading so I decided to see how low I could go with it turned off.

    I'm going to be testing even lower voltages later but tonight I have a date with Fallout 3(already took care of the wife ).
