yeah .. and now theyr trying to save i7s image with this "awesome" oc ... to bad the v is way higher than even a 65nm should run at ... yea u could get a Qx6850 at 4.2ghz or something with 1.65v .. but that is plain stupid
how much does that chip go with max 1.36v?? 3.4ghz? maybe 3.6? pathetic

but yet your q6600 needs 1.4 to only get to 3.4 and I bet even at 2.6 the core i7 will outperform your q6600...
I ran 1.65 to my qx9650 for a good 200 bench runs without any problems...
I wouldn't run 1.57 though for 24/7 highest is 1.4 ish

No. Even at lower clocked speeds the i7 will spank your quad in all benchmarks save gaming(unless you have multi-GPU)
Besides, they got the i7 920 to 3.8Ghz with only 1.35vcore, Q6600s max out at 3.6 on air cooling. I also think they got it to 3.99Ghz with 1.4vcore, which isn't life threatening for a quad.

The i7 920, the BUDGET i7, can hit almost 4GHz on AIR with 1.36v. You're telling me I can't breach that on water? Pff.

PS: Core i7 isn't out and neither is Deneb so you should both stop the slinging...especially you because you always do it.

Core i7 is out, Central Computers in Sunnyvale, CA had some in stock a few days ago.
Mods should just lock these thread, they all seem to be full of hate. You have to get a new MB and DDR3 ram get over it. -.- If you can't afford it go AMD jeez, quit hating.

You guys need to read my PC Gamer's Manifesto, let me quote:
Section 1, Sub Section Q: If you can't afford it, insult it!
Gamers who spend lots of money on a system are very likely to be upset when a newer technology arrives, especially one that outperforms there's. But do not fret, you can justify your own purchase by pointing out every flaw in the newer model.

Wasn't there a post here on OCN where the i7 920 was clocked at the same 4.4 on air with lower vcore? I think that the evga board can't handle the i7

This could be bad for evga if others are reaching better OC's. Maybe this is just a modded 790i. I hope not, I was really looking forward to the evga board.

1.35 vcore for a 45nm is a no-no.
the people who are comparing an i7(45nm) at 3.8 ghz at 1.35 to a q6600 (65nm) are making baseless arguments. running a 45nm at 1.35 volts is NOT GOOD, you can't run it 24/7 without a huge risk of electromigration...but the q6600 on the other hand can.
