Would anyone be willing to do a few encodes with Handbrake?

If so you can download handbrake here.
Use the Normal Preset.
Set the Contrainer to MKV.
Set the Priority Level to High in the options.

When finnished each encode record the average FPS, select the Activity Window then Encode Log from the dropdown, the average FPS will be near the end.

Source files, the smallest one would be enough but if you can do all 3 that would be better.

Tron_Trailer_HD.zip - 268 MB
Splice_Trlr_1_1080P.wmv - 336 MB - Right Click Save As this one.
big_buck_bunny_1080p_surround.avi - 886 MB

My 1100 results for comparison.
Code: 
1100 24/7 OC
4.0GHz | 3.0 | 1666-9-9-9-24-34

Tron   43.162312 fps
Splice 29.393965 fps
Big    43.118412 fps

EDIT: Handbrake will max all your cores so keep an eye on temps, I don't want to be responsible for frying your lovely new chip ;)

Cheers.

These look like the files I suggested for encodes in the BD thread as I have a thread on another website with the same files and settings.

I would appreciate it if I can add these scores to the thread(OcUK will be mentioned) as I have 67 results already and top score is for an i7 980X.

- Fixed bug where LinX might stop responding if the Linpack ended due to lack of memory
- Fixed a possible bug while running multiple copies of LinX
- Fixed a possible bug in the charts that could lead to an error message if Everest or Speedfan were turned off during testing
- Fixed bug with invisible progress bar in the classic theme


LinX 0.6.2

- Improved flow control and interaction with Linpack, to fix the problem with changing gigaflops
- The current folder is now clearly meets the program folder, to avoid false error "file not found Linpack"
- Screenshots of the main window can now be done with the windows open settings and program information


LinX 0.6.1

- Linpack files updated to version 10.2

- Fixed bug with non-regular values ​​gigaflops
- Added hotkeys for the buttons, Test and Stop, Enter, and Escape, respectively


LinX 0.6.0

- Added ability to change the process priority Linpack
- Removing the limit on the maximum number of threads created by Linpack
- Changed file libiomp5mp.dll for larger maximum size of the problem for 32-bit Linpack
- Added ability to add time / date to the names of your files is enabled by default
- Change the screen test process (the same on all operating systems and requires less resources)
- Various changes / simplifications in the main menu
- Added command line (experimental), a list of keys: LinX.exe /?
- Minor interface changes and optimization
- Added a small easter eggs are not for everyone

Is it safe to run the vcore above 1.4v? I had assumed that, as it's the same 32nm process as Sandybridge, it wasn't a good idea to go above 1.38v (based on the info in this thread). I am currently running mine at 4.6GHz at 1.38v; any higher isn't stable and so presumably needs more voltage, but I am apprehensive of causing lasting damage. Some of the CPU-Z screenshots I've seen show people running their vcore far above this...
 
Can anyone tell me what advantage the 3960 holds over the 3930 when it comes to overclocking? They're both multiplier unlocked right? So why pay £300+ extra? I know it has slightly more cache but am i missing something else?

Will a 3930 likely reach the same OC's? I dont know what to go for.

It will most likely (or at least It seems to be) that they both clock the same.
As you already said, he main difference is the cache size.
 
Yes,SB-EP is the Xeon version of SB-E. As far as I can tell it will be the only version to have 8 cores.

A complete list of specs and expected prices, with links to more detailed spec pages, can be found at CPU-World.com. The fastest and most powerful looks like the E5-2687W, with an expected price at introduction of $1885 and a TDP of 150W. I hope to be be able to buy 2 to fit in an SR-3 :)

Any news on the 3820? Worth the upgrade from LGA1366 i7 920? or should i just go to LGA1155?
Click to expand...

The 3820 is currently expected to be available from Feb 2012.

Whether it's worth the upgrade is dependant on what you want to use it for. If you only want it to play games on, then the 2500K, or an equivalent IB chip, is the best you can do, and the total cost of the upgrade will be significantly lower with a wider range of options currently available.
