Epic P4 Overclock

[shovenose]

Muahaha.... I'm running the P4 at 4.00GHz it works

Well, it works sort of. I can get it to pass POST about 1 in 10 tries, and while the computer runs fine P95 errors out immediately, so I used some stupid online thing to bring up the CPU load so speedstep would go the heck away and took a picture of the 4GHz... (uploading soon)

The voltage is set to 1.400V in the BIOS but I think this motherboard has trouble maintaining that.

ran hotter than a blast furnace.5 pound copper heatsink and 120mm fan.

I heard that Bloomfield may be the hottest. (First gen Core i7)
(Especially the i7 920) I think you're lucky to get 4.1 on an i7 920.

80 C at full load is reportedly common with Bloomfield.

Sandy Bridge seems to scale better.
And Ivy Bridge is supposed to be better than Sandy Bridge, but there's been reports of having higher core temps than Sandy Bridge and Intel switching from solder for the IHS contact to paste for the IHS contact.
