Interesting to note the comment made on the QPI speed.
Check the number of phases your mobo supplies for VTT, it uses 30W at STOCK. Some mobos are pushing 4 phases for this at least 2 would be necessary i think.
Dunno if I have a messed up bios or not, I set 21x multi on mine and hit 4.2 pretty easily, never saw it drop to 4GHz for wprime either...(tried 4 8 and 16 threads in wp also, 8 works best  2 seconds faster than 4 threads, 16 threads was .5 seconds slower than 8 threads)
4.2 WAS NOT STABLE THOUGH, found out I was running my mem at almost 2000 MHz LOL at 1.65 volts :p not bad for $50 tri channel ram |
hmmm tahts quite interesting... i will be looking into this for sure... maybe im just being volt happy enough i guess?
