lol i might, although i dont want phone calls "why is my CPU usage constantly at 100%??!?", i dont think its guna be on for that many hours per day anyway, but you never know, my bro seems to be sending me a GPU WU per day so far which is far better than i had hoped for, i was thinking it might even miss the 4day deadlines, CCBBE 0616 this stepping is, i think he's lucky as that stepping looks pretty much guaranteed to hit 3ghz, only got an arctic pro to cool it but hopefully that will do

i know they are good, i always suggest tp people on forums to get them 
i bought four at the same time last time they were in this week only, so far ive used three, two on xp4000+'s, one on an opteron144 which i currently am using myself, this is my last one, i know they do a really good job on single core athlons, just i always take the IHS off but he doesnt want me to take it off this and its dual core aswell, still obviously aiming for 3ghz+ just as long as temps dont become an issue

Good week overall for all, up on last week is always good!
Soooo close to first page now, rank 104 and climbing hehe.
Concorde still just ahead of me (heavy gaming weeks for both of us i think).
Lets keep getting new people in and keep that score rising

Been thinking the same thing since they had xeons in them.
Might settle for a core/core2 duo mini at xmas, my hackintosh just doesnt cut it anymore.

Well the first thing I can see is that your HT Link should really be under 1000MHz, there should be a divider somewhere so you can set it to 4/5 or something like that to give you more room for clocking higherPilgrim57 said:
I've got my Bus speed at 240MHz and a 4/5 divider on the HT Bus to make it 960MHz, also got my RAM on a 5/6 divider so it runs at 200MHz as I think 240 would be pushing my stuff
Turn off all the auto overclocking and auto speeds and such.
First you might want to give it more volts, as this will increase the oc a good deal. 1.45 or 1.5 are safe. Next, to limit the memory speeds so they are not a factor, set a really low divider, like 1:2 memory:htt. Then, set htt to 216 (or any starting point). HTT multiplier to 4x (to keep it less than 1000, as 4*216 < 1000). Test for stability for a little while, 10 minutes of orthos is enough for this preliminary test. Then increase HTT a few notches. Test. Increase etc.
