Alright! Don't Slap me for using EIST, the current BIOS doesn't disable EIST for this CPU, new one will, but still 6GHz is nice to see, with 4 Cores enabled

You can boost up the FSB in windows through SETFSB or the new Aegis Panel. 12x500MHz!! With LN2 of course!

Need some nice HD2900XT for CrossFire action, see if there's time between work!

AMD phenom better be the next OC god or shamino may just have shamed AMD into a corner

wow and only 1.6v.. I wonder what cooling he was using and what temperature he hit.

Almost makes me regret I just ordered a q6600 lol.

this may be why lol

Update!

Sorry to burst the bubble, a friend has informed me about a bug with the Yorkfield and old BIOSes on MARS. The older BIOS shows boot up speed at high frequency, when it goes into windows, SetFSB and clockgen still reads the high speed, so when I upped the FSB slowly with SETFSB, I thought I was really going 6GHz, especially when it froze above "12x500mhz" @ -125C
