Just out of curiousity, where have you heard this? Generally changes made between steppings including the changes between engineering sample and production are minor. The performance will be the same. We'll also ignore the fact that many people have production / retail chips already ;)

I personally didn't have a problem with the point HOCP was trying to make. However I don't think they should've tried to make that point in the Core2Duo review. A much more professional way to have gone about it would have been to have two seperate articles: 1) Core 2 Duo review 2) The...

I hate to point this out, again, but neither of you have an 805 running at 4.1Ghz to compare to. Using your results at 3.5 to extrapolate performance numbers isn't the best methodology.

Try for that P5WD2. It's one of the best overclocking boards you can get for your 930 ;)

Nice benches. I got exactly 11,000 in 3DMark 05 with the setup in my sig.

The more expensive boards, the P5WD2 for example, are simply better overclockers. They seem to be the only boards that let people consistently get 4Ghz+ out of their 800-900 series P4's IF you have the proper cooling. THG was simply tyring to show how far the 805 could be pushed. Whether or...

For valid input, check post 4 ;) You're absolutely correct about the thread topic though. It should be about the 805, not about budget / electrical comparisons to AMD.

I have plenty to contribute to this thread since I actually have a P4 running at 4Ghz+. Have you accomplished the same? I in no way "insulted" you. I was just commenting that you (or one of a few others) somehow manage to bring AMD into every Intel overclocking thread. The purpose of this...

It must get repetitive typing out the same type of response in every Intel overclocking thread. In the future I would suggest a pre-typed rebuttle that you could just copy and paste into these threads. Something like "Intel Sucks, AMD Rules" would suffice. Just trying to save you some...

Any of the boards listed in the article should work fine with the right cooling. The 800 series will definitely heat up the room at those speeds ;) The Asus P5WD2 Premium seems to be getting the best / most consistent overclocking results.

690 watercooled here. It never breaks 45c. I would go higher but I haven't had time to play with ATI tool so I'm stuck at the CCC panel limit.

My point was that you and Mark both claim a AMD at 2.6Ghz outperforms a D920 at 4.2Ghz, yet neither of you have tested this specific scenario. You've both used either a different processor, or the same Intel processor clocked 500Mhz slower to extrapolate your numbers. If you would've said...

You compared an AMD at 2.6Ghz to your D920 running at 4.2Ghz? When? I must have missed it...

a) I can't do an A-A comparison, but then again I'm not the one claiming to have done so. b) If you want to bring price into it, yes my MB was more expensive then yours. But then again, my processor and ram were quite a bit cheaper at the time of purchase. c) I enjoy organizing my...

a) I'm not on air. Check the sig. b) I wasn't aware that was part of the debate at hand.
