The LGA 775 not so overclock locked...

Just read the article about the FSB of the new LGA 775 chips only being "locked" by the north bridge voltage... That was a clever trick for Intel to do but as Ed said "It only removes one of the mines from the minefield..."

Abit got around some of the overclocking limit,

Asus has confirmed overclocks of %25 also.

I am about to replace my system and I have been looking at getting an LGA 775 and cooling it with a phase change setup. Once DDR2 gets better I think it will have the advantage of the 478.

well if the overclock is limited to %15 or limited to %25, its still limited, and that kinda takes the fun out of it for me...

Well I just got a newsletter from Asetek and it said the got a LGA 775 3.6 Ghz up over 4.2 ghz on their lightspeed system.

25% overclocks is still really small.

for a 2.8 thats only 700 mhz max.
if your running a vapochill or something, thats pretty damn low.
for air I guess that would be ok...

but still not much to look forward too.
gone are the days when you cound get a 2.4C to 3.9 ghz stable in a vapochill with a P4 I guess....

3.9 Ghz is well over 300 fsb which means most boards would bug out. I don't recall that happening on a regular basis.
