Btw, Jack Lalanne died today at the age of 96.

Yah know its funny, I was just thinking something similar... this SB stuff is based on the same shoddy arch that 980X was.

I mean great arch... but full of failure too for overclockers. How many died here? How many lost cores? I don't recall that on previous Intel chips and just never heard of it on AMD. I killed a Q6600 though and those were tanks

My first 920 ran 4.65 its entire life... second ran it and beyond and then became a desktop cruiser.. so hard to say if it was a tank... I could still pull 4.7Ghz when I needed to... so yes?

My first extreme OC boot on SB was 52X... first blue screen I got when pushing BCLK... 51X was new max multi...

(I only just realized it or I would have posted it sooner)

Every time I get up to 4.8GHz it seems everything gets unstable. Is there a setting that controls video somewhere like pci-e frequency? Somehow I think that is what is holding it up. Once over 4.7GHz during boot up the screen goes haywire...after that I can never get the OS to boot again.
