Its so funny cuz when i started overclocking this badboy i had problems from 1.25-1.29. Then I set it to 1.3 and I have managed to get up to 3.6 stable. I am probably going to try 3.8 tomorrow.

Also whats a good load temp to run 24/7 on?

Some of those C0's are impressive man. The highest I got my D0 for 3d benching was 4300 Mhz HT on, for 2d benching 4450 MHz, needed about 1.5v for that. Wasnt that bad at all, but after you use a D0 that seems bad, however in reality it ain't.

Hey dudes!

Have you heard about the new i7 930 , which will be the succeeder of the 920?
Appearntly the i7 930 will run @ 2,8Ghz (21x133blck) and has another extra multiplier 21x instead of 20x. The same happened with the Core i7 950, i7 960 and the Core i7 975.
This means that we'll be able to overclock with the 22x (turbo) multiplier :D !
It's not sure if the new i7 930 is going to be 32nm or 45nm and the price will be USD$284 .

For OCCT runs, do you guys check the box for "Hyperthreading as Dual Core?" Sounds like that checks all 8 threads, but I just want to verify with the rest of you.
