i7 950: no turbo?

[unclewebb]

5GHz with a 23 multi is still only a BCLK of 217 which isn't a problem for a good motherboard. I think it comes back to stability. Better stability with a 23 multi compared to the 24. These CPUs work fine at 24X and even 25X when only a single core is enabled in the bios.

Here's some testing by rge:

Contact him if you want to know what multiplier he likes best and why.
