Golden or not?
This is without any bios tweaks, just set 1.5V vcore and go.

kicks the hell out of mine...Although I did hit 4874 CPUz yesterday with mine. I was surprized I could hit that on my average 860....Nice chip you got there....

Thanks. I have seen yours in action God_tattoo. I am aiming for 4.8, but my RAM might hold me back now. I had 4.654 at less than 1.5V Vcore and it is stable enough to boot into Win7 and Run SuperPi. I am thinking I should be able to reach a suicide of 4.8 on air.

Yes, you'll hit that easy...My ram is only 1600, and I did ok with that..Your 860 seems to be quite a bit better than mine...

When I get home. I only got it at about 2:30pm this afternoon, I popped it in, but had to leave for work at 5pm. Had enough time for some quick screens.
And yes.... this is much better than my first one. I really can't complain though, the first one will hit 4.1, but it requires more voltage. This is just a hand-picked one that I got lucky enough to pick up.

Sweet Retro. Nice to hear your pushing the limits.
I am still trying to get 1 more bclk to beat God_tattoo, but My comp just won't have it.
FYI that 4.8 is with 1.65V Vcore.

That's looking great Brutal with 4 cores 8 threads.
Now, if you're pursuing for a quicker PI.....use 2 cores only with HT off.
I'm sure you'll achieve higher bclk easily.
I'm pushing my new i7-930 atm.
So far I have 4528MHz with 9.032s with 4 cores 8 threads on a $30 cooler.

I have tried to turn off cores/threads, but I can't inch past God_tattoo in CPUz, so I guess it is up to me to beat Super Pi and Wprime Scores.
I am excited to have a chip that isn't a turtle.
