i7 950: no turbo?

The maximum practical 24/7 type overclock is around 4400 MHz - 4500 MHz and a good motherboard can run a BCLK of 200 so their isn't much use for a multiplier beyond 23. I seem to recall the 24X needing too much voltage for stability. I know rge likes running his 950 at 23X. I think he's saving 24X for the winter when he's going to do some serious overclocking.

I'm not talking about 24/7 oc's here. I'm talking about people running the 950 under ln2 @5Ghz+ with multi 23.

So it's not that the 950 doesn't have the 24 option, it just doesn't work right?

The few people I know that tried the 24x found that it was buggy as hell.

Aah that explains it Glad I went for Xeon W3540 then and not 950
