A valid preference
I currently do not have to pay the electric bill, luckily, but if I did, I would certainly not leave the comps on 24/7.
As a hardcore gamer, and someone who simply likes the challenge of overclocking, I mainly just worry about stability, speed, and sometimes voltage migration I try to stay withing relatively safe voltages though.
I just got my C0 to 4 GHz, but that is temporary, I hope to swap it for a D0 when I get a chance, so I can get higher on lower volts.
The cycles per second are in my favor, however, as I have not the use currently for HT, so I leave this off. Therefore, higher clocks are achievable!
Also, another thing that the 1366 has going for it is the features on some of the mobos. I <3 my UD5, 10 Sata ports, plus it supports 3 way SLI or xfire.
Right now I only have 1 GTX 260, but oh the possibilities. Might get a 2nd in the future.
Or get 2 4890's, who knows?
Though, TBH, the gigabyte UD6 in that review did look pretty cool.
