Hi, folks! Just got one today and I'll install it tonight. Who else has one? What's the highest clock OC achievable?

Got mine to OC to 3.5Ghz on stock cooler and volt last night. That was so easy.

When I get a better HSF, I'll go for 4GHz. Smile

Hey can you tell me the increase in framerates from default clock in a game?

Average of 10-15 fps Smile

I've played around with these before. Ultimately prefer the E7x series due to better cache and same ease of reaching 4ghz (in my case anyway)

Was able to hit 4Ghz the other night. Was able to boot into the OS, open programs, etc. But when I tried playing games, it proved unstable. I need better RAMs, I think.

The E7xxx provides good value as well, but the E5xxx has better bang-for-buck rate Smile

I'm at 3.385Ghz with everything stock. I couldn't boot into Windows at 3.5Ghz with stock voltages, don't wanna mess with those just yet. I gained 20-30FPS playing Vanguard: Saga of Heroes compared to stock! Laughing

@nolonger-- I suspect you have to adjust your RAM speed timings in order to boot higher than 3.3Ghz Smile

Ah, so reduce or increase the timings?

You might want to try reducing your RAM speed first?
