4.4gig Phenom 2 validation done on Air

[chew*]

I had dropped everthing down, cpu-z validations are all about cpu frequency.....its not about how preety your settings are to get there you don't get a cookie for having the 10th fastest cpu with a very high NB, you do get a cookie for the fastest cpu mhz though

Cold air helps alot, having a heatsink with some mass to it that can retain the cold air better helps as well, I did that on the OCZ vindicator, I now have a true with quite a bit more weight to it.

A TRUE copper would more than likely hold the max air cpu-z throne with some cold air over anything out there due to its mass.

Increasing voltage just ticks them off and adds more heat, there is a fine line between voltage/ temps.
