You did and now I've heard enough of you.

Yea, but you were implying by the use of the words "Old Dead Tech" that it wouldnt clock much at all or infact even work properly... and have yet again almost gone on to print a retraction in a manner of speaking...

Good point Monster. Easy should know about transparancy. We don't want to give unfair or misleading statements that confuse people do we.

Exactly my point but it was too early to be bothered to type it up

Give it a run with Orthos, if it lasts more than five minutes with that voltage I'll be surprised.

Batch code info etc added to post.
I am having to use an 8x multi due to the fact that setting it to 9x in BIOS results in 6x in Windows, all relevant things disabled in BIOS - Speedstep etc
Proves my board will do 500FSB anyway
its not stable, as stated in my first post.

Thats a rather high voltage for just 4.2Ghz, if mine needs anywhere near that much I don't think I'll bother

Fair play

Just upped the CPU to 1.425v and CPU-Z is still showing 1.200v :S
Orthos'ing now

Update CPU-Z to 1.43
See if that solves it
