    Picked up a i5 2500k Overclocks?

    Picked up a 2500k to play with . Will go in one of my water setups just curious what you guys are seeing speed wise thanks. Any tips on what voltage and settings are needed to hit 5ghz , Am thinking that on water anything less than 5ghz I would be disappointed .

    Aftermarket Dual 771

    Did they ever make this I can't seem to find much got a broken xeon workstation that needs a board . Would like to find something more flexible as this is used more like a nice desktop no need for like a 600 dollars intel motherboard. I would hate for these cpu's to go to waste.

    965 x4 overclock with 1600 dd3

    Has anyone else had problems overclocking it I can not even get above stock with my ram at 1600 now if I put it down to 1333 I can go right to 3.8 stock voltage. Just seems like the memory controller doesn't like it but I thought these newer 965 worked that out?

    E7600 overclocking

    I have a chance to swap my e6300 for this e7600 I like that fact that it has a highest muilt so even at 400 front side it's like 4.6. If it will go that high may be worth it over the e6300 I have which will do 4.3 plus 3mb vs 2mb win. Has anyone here pushed one of these in the 4.5 plus...

    new e6300 overclock

    Playing around at work threw in one of the newer e6300 in my water cooling rig. I got it at 10.5 at 410 which is 4.3 . I very happy with it but I have to have the v-core up at right under 1.48 to keep it stable. Under prime the highest temp I saw was 56c I feel that's great for the v core...

    E8400 vs 9950Black

    What would be faster me and my friend were talking about this. Consider E8400 can usually get 4.0 easy. lets say the 9950 can get it 3.0. If you put the same video card in both same memory. I mean maybe quad on threaded apps but am leaning to the clock speed winning out.
