well... i told you im working on getting a ihsless E8400. So who knows... maybe that will clock a lot higher then the yorkie. 😉

But the yorkie will have hardware + cooling system advantage. :T so dont hold your breath.

i have 2 pairs, so im splitting 2x1gb on each. Crucial PC8500 <-- YES i can finally make use of this overpriced easily dead ram
E8400 is going on a 780i i get from stepup.
Q9450 is going on my DFI LT X38-T2R

:T nah.. i think yorkie is still going to win.

aigomorla, why are you removing the IHS? You want to place a cooling block directly on the die?
