What CPU are you using with the OC? Very interested in how this goes as I'm thinking of picking up one of these myself. Also, is it a Engineering Sample or full retail? Thanks for the info, Kurg | |

| Must be the motherboard ... just switched cpu and cooler to the UD6 and 3.8GHz is perfectly stable here. I didn't even change or add cooling paste. |

| Can't believe any vendor has taken the time to fix the turbo-issues I've discussed in the first article: 3D and HDD are still hurt when you enable turbo mode |
