Could have been even more of a fail. Just imagine a PentiumQ!!! You would need a DICE set up just to keep the load temps under 60C.

yeah, you got a point, to a certain point. I like to think of the LGA 1366 as more of an evolutionary pinnacle rather than an oversimplified kid's starter system like Sandy Bridge. The 1366 still makes you "do the work" for a solid overclock. But you got to hand it to the i7 9xx chips, they can take the punishment like it's nobody's business. the Sandy Bridge chips are a bit too dainty if you ask me.

No worries. It is well known that flogging an Italian dressed in exclusive carbon grants you a lifetime membership to the 'man club'. Feel free to attend social gatherings in drag with immunity.
