Any i7 930 owners?

[RaistlinZ]

So I noticed Newegg has the i7 930 for about $10.00 more than the 920. Does anyone have one of these and are they any better for overclocking? I was thinking the higher multiplier would give it an edge over the 920.

XS has lots of discussion on them; they don't seem to be any better than 920s.
Only case where the higher multi will really help is with a crap mobo that cannot handle decent BCLK.

Pretty much any decent X58 should do 200 BCLK w/o much trouble, which means at worst case, 21x200 (4200 MHz) for an i7 920.

Really, temps will hold you back before anything else, unless you've got great cooling.

I will say that for $10, i'd likely go that route, since well, it's $10.
Just don't expect a better OC, as it's unlikely.
