I like the power saving features. It's actually kinda nice that I can keep them on. I never used them on the i7 920. It keeps the CPU pretty cool when not at full power.

For sure, i turn them all off for OCing and Stress testing. Once im stable i turn them all back on for powersaving benifets.

Here's me, HEX-core and all, so when I'm owning you guys I'm also capable of doing 50 other tasks before I ever feel any system lag or slowdown. LOL.

I wanted to... But the extra cost-to-performance wasnt worth it for me.

I just figured out why I couldn't hit 1600 on my tri-channel. Derp, because by default it was being under powered. Two years of under performance, I don't know why I didn't think of it, my old computer had the same problem but I figured it out right away. I had convinced myself I had 1333 ram. This isnt my upper limit but I'm in the middle of finding my new upper limit. My old one was 3.5, my temps are a little high, I think I need to re-do my paste.

wow nice clock!!!

I remember my AMD FX57 was hard to hit 3.5ghz but that was like 10 yrs ago

lol i hit the bsod like 3 times before i got the settings right

edit: i ended up backing down to 4.08ghz anyway for a couple diff reasons. i just wanted to see how high i could get stable but yeah anyway thats still plenty for me. haha.
