Also, if I recall, @ stock a 1.4 Palimino put out about 70-80W Theoretical max. A p4 6XX @ 4ghz puts out ~130W theoretical max @ stock vcore.Speaking of assumptions.

And that motherboard either has serious problems or else your monitoring software does. Cpu speed shouldn't fluctuate 150mhz while a system is running. It shouldn't even fluctuate more than 1-2 times the CPU's multiplier when rebooted.

It was three years ago when I checked, but I believe the 90mm they hooked up for me was their "high-flow" model and maxxed at 42cfm. It was exhausting and ducted about 4" with a 90* bend, unsealed. I marvelled at the efficiency of it's design.


Also, I'm making statements based on the results of dozens of people I know with these processors. You and others are making claims based on nothing other than what you wish these chips could do. Hell, there'd still be people in here saying they could do 4ghz stable @ stock cooling and vcore if you had your way.
Sorry dewd, there's folks at overclockers.com, here and many other places complaining because they only hit 4GHz and not 4.1 or 4.26 or etc.. Why do you feel it is like your God sworn duty to defend AMD everytime anyone posts on the Intel side of the forum? I'm sure if I post the same *stuff on the AMD side of the forum, saaya or would sure as scheisse ban me quicker than the message could be posted.

Example. You were given links to folks' overclocking results, where yours to back up your claims? You continue to talk of $200 motherboards when I've posted to you before that there are i945s for less than $130, too lazy to go to Price Scan or Watch?
