One of the best things with GB is a active BIOS-team. Bu I hope they got the new microcode into this one. Do you know they did it?

I'm running @3.8Ghz (22x173) 1.21v, VVT=1.32v for 24/7. Because my X5650 has a locked x20 Uncore that needs a lot of VVT to stabilize. I've done some testing @4.2GHz (22x191) 1.26v, VVT=1.44v and seams to be stable, but I don't dare to use that much VVT for 24/7 yet. At least not until we get to know these chips better.

The @3.8GHZ is about 25% faster than my w3520 @4.5GHz (in CPU intensive tests like CineBench 11.5), but this CPU will show it's real strengths on a OC-able doable socket MB, which I'm waiting for and hoping GB will release one soon, too.
