Excellent news. Couple of questions:

1) With the 920 and 940 CPUs from Intel, in the US the 920 is about $300, with 940 is about $550, I assume if the 920 can be overclocked, that the 940 is a complete and utter waste of money?

2) What is the highest overclock of the 920 CPU? I see numbers of 4.0 GHz although I look in the signature of the person with an overclock that high and usually watercooling is used. I have no intention of putting water anywhere near my board, I'll be using a Noctua U12P 1366.

This cold boot issue, is it random who gets it? I see "fixes" such as using the 8-pin plug on the board, increasing the IOH value and putting fibre washers on the board where the screws are to "ground" the board.

Thanks.
