Wow. That's a pretty sweet chip to be overclocking. The limits of these chips are not set in stone yet since they have not been out long enough. Although people have a general idea, I remember back when the E8400's came out and a few months later people who knew what they were doing had their chips dying on them since they had put so much voltage in. However, with that chip a moderate overclock would be fine and if all you are doing is gaming then it can stay at stock clocks and never bottleneck you.

*Bump*

When i read the OC guide here it talks about FSB but i dont see the FSB in my 965.
I know i have an unlocked multiplier which is good because i can go as high as i want as long as temps, vcore, etc...are safe.

I really would like to unleash this beast.
