Does anyone know what series p4 (5 or 6) is good for 5 ghz. My friend wants to get one cheap and try to clock it up. He has a 3.2ghz 500 series and it maxes at like 4.2 at 24c idle and 32 load

Also, why would it be limited at 4.2 ghz at any vcore? We went up to 1.7v :/

Sometimes the Core simply has a limit to how far its going to go before becoming unstable...All cpu;s have there max.

Because Prescott 5 series were never "that" good for OCing.

Want to hit 5.0ghz on air? Either one of these two could do: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116003
