I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether there was any Pros/Cons to working with either the x20 vs x21 multiplier on the i7 930? I have seen about equal postings where some have left Turbo mode enabled and others say most definately turn it off. If off, does the x21 multiplier remain available? I also wonder about Speed Step...on?...off? I want to get somewhere in the 3.8-4.0ghz range using the lowest voltage possible. Right now it's just a general question as this is a new rig (listed in sig) but I'm still waiting on a few of the components. LOL at least during the wait I've had enough time to pour over the manuals and forums. Any explanation on the above would be much appreciated.
