Nice Rubycon. Sounds about in line with what I'm getting with the older batches (3849B/A018). 20x200 at 1.152V.

4 ghz at 1.152V, not even using the 21x multiplier. Simply amazing. And here I thought stock clocks at .8625 was impressive. Also one of the older batches.

One of these days I'm going to get a massive, cantilevered copper cube of a heatsink with a 20" wal-mart fan strapped to it, crank this bad boy up over 1v and see what it'll do.

Hopefully not trip the motherboard thermal monitoring like it used to at stock voltage.

Heh, I can get a BCLK of ~208MHz on the EX58 UD3Rs (both Rev 1.0 and Rev 1.6) but it the chips needed quite a bit more voltagee to get to 4.2GHz. Didn't want to be greedy - 4GHz is plenty :p

For the curious, all were : Gigabyte EX58-UD3R (R1/1.6), IC Diamond TIM, Xigmatek Dark Knight
