hitman Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 because intel them selves state that their processors can go higher than what they are at factory and thats why mobo manufacturers design OC boards...intel knows that people will do it...hey the $250 i7-920 EASILY over clocks to the $1000 i7-975 extreme!!! and its WELL below its thermal/volatge capacities....why wouldn't you want to save $750 for 2 minutes of tweaking....the 920 has been proven to easily do 3.8ghz at 24/7 daily operation and 4+ghz for extreme benchmarking. thats why i only plan on goint to the 975 speed (3.33 ghz)...its far less than the max 24/7 so it will be cool and stable. besided games like BS and lockon still arent optimized for multiple cores...thats why a fast single core pentium 4 can beat out a 2.6 ghz quad core! these games are CPU intensive so just by upping the speed a little bit and perfectly safe you can gain tons of performance! oh i highly doubt that a p4 can play bs better than a quad core. i personally got more fps on a quad core multi threaded than i ever did on a single core chip. its not about processor speed it how any 0's and 1's it can translate in a clock cycle. multi core chips can handle a workload better and run cooler. my old q6600 ran bs great. my i7 ran bs better than, and ran it 75% cooler than my old q6600.

Lucid484 Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 well maybe not BS but definitly for lockon...also depends on what you have for any background programs or services running... Core i7-930 (2.8 OC to 3.85), ASUS Rampage II Extreme, XFX Radeon 5870, 6 Gigs MUSHKIN DDR3-1600 6-8-6-24, 128 GB Crucial C300 SSD, 500 GB Western 5400rpm Digital Green Drive,ASUS SATA 3 6gbps card.
hitman Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 lomac uses the same engine, and it ran a LOT smoother than on a single core chip. mind you that memory speed, capacity, motherboard efficiency, and power consumption have increased as well.
