Can't wait for the new chips to come out and i will now have all these tools I learned with thsi processor for the nest one. This is a great chip though. I understand your position though, and once I top 14000 with 3dmarks, at 13899 atm, then i will probably clock her down and sit back a enjoy my new computer, until then its me against the machine, LOL.

Meh... I changed my mind myself... I decided to run her with a little more voltage and found that the sweetspot for my B3 is around 3.33Ghz @ 1.35v. She gets up to around 69/70c under load. I am fine with that, since I never really run torture tests all day.

I can get it to boot at 3.6 @ 1.38v but I cannot seem to get it stable. I am hitting the thermal ceiling and if I want to hit 3.6Ghz, I am going to need to water cool I think. Not sure it is worth it to drop $250 for 266Mhz gain... Of course, I could always use it for my next CPU. But mostly I just want to water cool because I love doing things I have never done before (hobby). Anyway, I am probably going to nix the water cooling idea for the moment, because the wife is starting to give me those looks...

Can you tell me how you got 3.33 at 1.35? Is this your bios vcore or what is being reported from CPU-Z? Is it is what is reported, then dont explain. If its what you set yours at, then please explain.

EDIT: actually, jsut noticed I am stable at 3.3 at 1.296 according to CPU-z, Here is a pichere is a pic.

Looks good! My temp that I set in BIOS for 3.33 is 1.44v, actual temp (in BIOS) is 1.4v but I never see that voltage because I have EIST and SPEEDSTEP enabled, accounding for Vdroop, means that I see 1.34-1.35 at load and when idle the system clocks down to 2.22Ghz @ 1.22v.

Voltages are difficult to pin down because of Vdroop CEIST, Speed step... CPUZ is correct, it is just that not many people know all the variables.
