Cor blimey! A C2D got to 4Ghz!

Sounds like a pretty sweet baord. Is OC3D gunna get there hands on one?

I've seen two people with a P5K do 4Ghz with a 6600

bear in mind that this is a DFI engineering sample (& they tried several others & couldn't get past 630) & no doubt a handpicked CPU which was cooled by a cascade.

Just don't expect to see too many people replicating this with shipping retail mobos ...

And meh tbh, I got my Xeon 3070 to 4GHz on a P35 board

I think the points of this was 672fsb tbh. Not the 4ghz

Here's my question concerning the P35 motherboards... would it be worthwhile to trade up to one from my ABIT AW9D 975X? I've been scoping the ABIT versions, though I'm always open to ASUS and DFI...

PS: Ham's right, it was about how good the mobo does, not the cpu. Some extra pictures and specs on the mobo would have been nice also. But thanks for the look, PV.

Honestly, if this BIOS is anything like the RD600, I am not even looking at it

TJS, 975X is still the fastest chipset clock for clock & you look to have a decent core clock there so I doubt it.

Compared to 672? I think it got pwned tbh.
