I hope you aren't passing that off as a STABLE OC are you?
Looks good otherwise

You know turbo only overclocks one core? Anyway nice voltage for 4ghz (4.2Ghz turbo). Keep pushing, I think it will get far.

Well, he is benching on superpi which take advantage of turbo mode because it only uses two core I believe. It isn't a multithreaded app. If he disabled turbo and OC'ed to an actual 4.2ghz, he'd have virtually identical benchmarks for that program
Now, wprime on the other hand is a completely different story

The P6T Deluxe does not suck. What the hell do you need turbo for anyway?

Multi threaded includes dual core.
SPi is a single thread application. It only uses one core

Nicely done... That's where I start out Oc'ing my i7s, 200 bclk and 20x multi
... congrats on the 4.2

@ OP sry for going off topic here
@ L2I: Can you define stable???
Heck man, if it completes the bench I'm working on at that particular moment then its stable enough....
kinda always thought that's what pushing the limits was about

In cpu-z it reads "like" it's for all the cores, but it's not.
It's for one core on single thread application (like the one above)

As my sig, this is with TURBO off, so all cores are truly running at those speeds. Most people do not realise and think that turbo does all 4.
Because everyone else can use it except us!!! rofl.
It doesn't suck, I was being a bit dramatic. I'm running a nice 4.008 Mhz (211 x 19) @ 1.288V but I think the Gigabyte EX-58 extreme is a better board.
It's all about options. Maybe I just haven't found it, but where is the qpi pll on this board?
