That's a good question. I'm at 4.0ghz on air stable pretty easy. I have been to 4.6ghz and even 4.7 on air for just benchmarking though(not stable). Not sure what it will do with water.

If you remember, what vcore were you around for 4.5ish?

What clock did you boot into Windows at with 1.55V? This is good news to me, as I would be very happy to sit at around 4.2 or so if possible with my loop.

This is also very good news, I'm pretty sure my GTZ is a bit more efficient than your XT. EDIT: My mistake I was confusing XT and GT again...
Assuming the i5 chip I get is solid, I should be able to reach my goal of 4.2 with reasonable temps.
Thanks for all the input so far. If anyone else has an i5 with a loop, and would like to chime in, please do so! I like to gather as much info as possible prior to any big purchases, and a platform upgrade is definitely one of those.

I was just doing some benches at 4.5ghz, might have been able to boot with lower vcore but I'm lazy so just cranked it up for the runs

You should get 4.2Ghz pretty easily with decent temps, I was running 4.2 the other day with around 1.36v, I doubt it was stable as I need about 1.35v for 4ghz stable. Most people I've seen need less vcore than me though

Oh and, scores on the AM3 run covered so mike can't see

Temps running LinX here too, general use gaming etc is a lot lower.

No that's my mistake I was thinking of the old GT, my mind must have been somewhere else!

Thanks for the info here, this kind of stuff is exactly what I'm looking for! Now, I was under the impression that you couldn't use the 21x multi on the i5 constantly, but I notice in your first SS you have it clocked at 200x21. What is the deal with this, can you run the 21x multi constantly or not?
I'm pretty much cemented on an i5 now assuming I can find the proper backplate for my GTZ... Post in this thread if you know where to get one!

^^ Yup I think all boards allow you to run the 21x multi, you just have to enable turbo

As for the backplate for your GTZ, contact swiftech, I've heard they are pretty good with support and would maybe send you one out for free..
