34955 3DMarks in Futuremarks 3DMark 2006

The new Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition D0 CPU is an amazing overclocker and will help Intel regain its Overclocking crown

The D0 Revision brings a new level of overclocking for the i7 and makes consistent 5GHz benchmarks a reality for the majority of upcoming D0 i7 chips.

After 200L of LN2 and several bad i7 975 chips I found a decent chip for 3DMark
pulling in 5.1GHz it was not the best chip but good enough to nearly break 35,000 in 3DM06

I am currently working on stable 5.2GHz 06 runs.
