WRX22B1998 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 source hmm apparently a 2.8GHz Black Edition CPU can be taken to 3GHz with a SB700-equipped motherboard or an even more tantalizing 3.2GHz when used with a SB750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 And still they suck when it comes to overclocking. Intel CPU's easely can be OC'ed at least 20%. Until now I've reached 3870 MHz with my Wolfdale based CPU. Should easely be able to reach 4 GHz. It runs pretty cool thanks to my TRUE cooler (clicky. No fan is included. You need to buy your own fan. I bought one of Noctua). I'm pretty sure it's just the vcore. I actually lowered that from stock and after 3,6 GHz you really have to up it quite a bit. tl;dr: Intel > AMD. Though they are a bitch.. especially with those licenses for Nehalem. But really. Good price and exellent performance. Why would anyone go for the AMD platform if they're getting themselves a new mobo + CPU? And AMD's roadmap doesn't really look very exiting either to be honest..
