also with SB from what is being done so far basically seems a familiar pattern > MHz wall, and a lot of guys will drive themselves crazy thinking they can go past it, i am yet to see people really have any real impact on the MHz wall once they figure it out properly
Understood Dino, but I don't know how there can possibly be that much difference between my chip and another chip on the same batch.

The only differentiating factor is the board and the ram, yet there is possibly over 0.2V difference and mine isn't even stable where as theirs are.

Just trying to determine if it's a user error or if it's a clear cpu/motherboard/ram limitation.
