Here's a nice review on the new i5 661. The Core i5 661's performance falls somewhere in between a Core 2 Quad Q9650 and Q9400 in real-world application performance! That's pretty impressive only being a duo core!

Probably -xxF as thats the only way to get there I would imagine.

i wonder if they are at 0c or below like -32c

 

[EarthDog]

They are below 0F or below 32C. You cant get those clocks with that voltage any other way I dont believe. Well at least to have the CPU survive it.

Wonder what the air temps are like @ 5.4Ghz tho? And how long the chip would live for at 1.596 Vcore?

I'd love to see the spec sheet on the new Intel series. I'm sure Intel will have them up soon enough.

This is NUTS.

I can't wait for the 32nm stuff on 1366 now

You should have. I have the GD-80! I should have got the GD-65 to.

So far I'm really liking my GD-80. It's a beast of a mobo.

Almost bought the 80 as well but the FTW was calling my name.

Sounds like me. I looked at EVGA. Only problem was MSI was calling my name.

Still ****ed i didn't splurge and get the FTW 200. Thankfully EVGA has a step up program on motherboards.

This was like my 1st computer upgrade in like 5 years or so. So I went all out for it. I'll roll with this rig for awhile til it either dies or I fry it. Lol!
