Ok..So i got a Clarkdale..It doesn't clock so good..4.7-ish max no matter the volts on "regular" cooling.Is it worthwhile to put it under? Can it magically get some world records? or no..

I was always of the opinion that 4.7GHz for Clarkdale was decent,but is that CPU-Z or benchable?

Have you bested BCLK at low multi? That will help decide if it's worth freezing.

At first I was thinking Wolfdale and then Conroe, not even the right socket! rolleyes.gif

If you're only looking for records, better off checking BCLK as K404 suggested.
