Damn, makes you think that if AMD was competitive, we could have had a 3.6ghz Wolfdale SKU :(

The odds could be better than that but even still it's not like he did it with stock HSF. That's a $105 heatsink not counting shipping or the fan.

Throw money at things and they tend to have this funny habit of having a chance at performing better than a person's rig which hasn't had the $$$ tossed at it.

Makes you wonder though, how many 5GHz-capable "golden sample" E8600's are sitting in Dell's and HP's out there running stock clockspeed for the entirety of their lives?
