or perhaps they don't overclock at all any more ...

(you never know !)

 

[tylerw13]

all the other L***B*** processors have been over clocking really well on xtremesysterms.org.....im hopefull

I wonder what's different about these. They aren't a new stepping, so I don't know what to make of them.

you sure u r board limited? that asus board should easily do 440+. if you r looking for a high fsb board, i'd recommend the Asus P5B deluxe. its a 965 board but getting 500+ fsb has been easy for it.

however, clock for clock the 965 is a little (i mean a little as in minute) slower than the 975 but I,m sure u already knew that!

 

[tylerw13]

i would say it is my board..but still now 100 percent sure...i know its not heat...im running 34 c at full load....im still trying to figure and play with some stuff...i water cool both my cpu and my sb....im still trying some stuff though

Tankguys is the only retailer who will specifically sell a stepping and week to order.

Others will just grab a box and pack it in to ship and it doesn't matter what stepping it is.
