Is there such thing as a QPI speed WR or such?

What do you mean it starts throttling over 4.2ghz?

I dont think that competition for QPI speed WR exists. But higher stable Qpi link speed means little more performance in 3D benching.

Throttling means that CPU speed start to go up and down by itself, rapidly changing CPU multiplayer or bclk when you pushed over the limit. In my situation 4200MHz on qpi link speed is the limit on air cooled CPU and the board.

I probably use the wrong word (throthlig), but it is close enough to describe the problem.

sorry but my english is little bit limited.....

My testing was for video encoding performance and not gaming performance but noticed the big difference in CPU score in Vantage when doing some benching one night a few weeks back. That led me to do the testing posted above. Now if only I could get that magical 4.5 HT ON LinX stable.

Oh I see. Ill be resetting-up my loop and giving the old cold weather oc runs a go again to get some ideas of whether my setup can do 4.5 ht on or not.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying. Great results on air none the less.
