I agree with you V0dka, for pure cruncher duty. In fact, I think INFRNL's choice may be a winner for that. I run my pure farm rigs so they don't need a babysitter. I want them to run, run, and just run. If I can have that and power efficiency, I'm interested.

However, for some folks using rigs for games, applications, and such, the 920, the 860, and budget come into play. I can see that aspect too.


In other news......Well, I tried my best to get 4 gig out of the 860. I couldn't even get 3.885gig stable on it. (185x21)

I tried the max vcore the bios would let me set. I mean I had CPUz showing 1.536v at idle! I could boot, but no primes....

I jacked up all the other voltages to what they had for max safe, dropped the QPI to x16, still no love. This particular chip ain't going there.....

I dropped it all back to the magic 3.7 point and it's fine. No harm done from the voltage, at least right now....

So, it's up to Emu to give us the 4 gig point. Best of luck to you my friend!
