Yeah, I miss the x23, it would shake it up dramatically. Specially when have found the limitation with the even mults. The X5650 doesn't have a x21-option, so the first alternative is x19 and that's too low. The only option on 5650 is x22. for sure! I'm using x8 RAM too, and it pretty stable, with good performance, more than I need.
I really like this CPU, and the Core is OCing really easy. I did some testing @4.2Ghz (191x22) 1,26v VVT=1.44v
. It was running pretty cool and stable too, but I don't dare to use that much VVT it for 24/7 yet. Not before I've tried this chip on a double socket.
Who knows,
maybe these can take more VVT than Intel's recommendation, just like 45nm. We need to exchange experiences and get to know these chips better.
