Whoa!!! This thing stomps a mud hole in wprime. Set the thread count to 8 and watch it take off. Mind you these my runs were only at 4300mhz!!! This cpu gets a lil tougher to overclock the higher you get. Gettin to 4300mhz is a breeze. Past that and it is a tweakin game. Might be at this longer than what originally thought. I have to get the clockin down 1st before I throw the pot on it.
