@TylertheGeek28 that's a massive overclock! lol jk I don't like non black edition cpu's because I can't just increase the multiplier, which means I have to play with the fsb, which means I have to play with the voltages where you been Tyler?

@Deadliciouz231 might be able to hit 3.2-3.4GHz depending on the room temp

@mattius1989 you might need a little more voltage, not all processors are created equal.
