Not sure about the high vs low BCLK thing, lower BCLK the system has less inherent latency than with higher BCLK's. Since these silly boards dont sit evenly on a given BCLK say I used 182 BCLK (~182.4 in reality) i'd be on ~4012MHz core, DDR3-1820MHz and 3640MHz uncore. Slightly higher CPU, 48 MHz less on the ram and 36 more on the uncore. I might get a little better performance. Thing is I hate uneven CPU/ram/uncore speeds and I try and make numbers that seem 'nice' and 'balanced'. That's part of the reason why its at 4005MHz. This CPU has no problem doing 4.5GHz @ 1.336v (see submission in 4.5GHz LinX club) but I dont need that much power, I probably wouldnt even notice. When I work it hard, renders/decoding/encoding/simulations etc, it takes so long anyway its a walk away come back in a few hours scenario and if it finished 15mins sooner I wouldnt be waiting for it so I see no need to push it and create more wear and tear on all the components. I also dont like running EIST etc so its full speed 24/7 and I'd rather not push it like that. With the 6 cores and 12GB ram it does everything I want it to at the current settings.
