Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[Chicken Patty]

Definitely. IMC seems to make the chip poo all over itself at ~4.0GHz without raising various voltages quite a bit, even on the good chips. Oh well, these are Intel's baby steps with IMC, and the chips still clock better on air/water than AMD's second generation Phenom, so poo. Pun. What?

Maybe D0 will have some IMC tweaks? If Intel can bolster the IMC slightly and lower temps ~10°C, I'll be a happy camper. I'm not asking for much, am I? Please, Intel, pllleaaasseee. I love you. I'll send you Canadian beer and bacon!

haha, i'm looking to get a 2nd Gen Phenom myself, i have both rigs remember

anyhow, yeah if they can lower temps a bit and make the IMC stronger these chips will be killer!

I agree the IMC is the weak link.

thanks.
