you don't see much if any day-to-day difference between 3.2ghz and 4ghz... unless you are encoding / F@H or something similar

What about gaming? As Iv hit a wall with my qx9650 at 3.7 where I was trying to achive 4ghz...

Left4Dead2 now feel smoother for me than back then when my Q6600 was at 3.0GHz, despite I'm still using the same 9800GTX+.

What mobo are you using and have you enabled load-line calibration (LLC)?

BioStar TPower i45, and in honesty I havent touched LLC. If it is on as standard, it will be on now as I havent turned it off.

That's a cracking board, gutted mine died but my q6600 is sitting happily at 3.4 378*9 at 1.35v on an ip35pro (volt & bolt modded). Shame its only used to inoccasionally run a few virtual machine these days, got my tpower to boot at 4.0 but wasn't stable enough to bench.
