11:43 LOOOOOOOOOOOOL his face hide fail TOO LATE!

Linus are you insane????1.55v?????? Do you not understand how to oc?? most people won't even push their cpu voltage to past 1.45. Personally I'm at 1.475 at 4.9ghz and my temps with a h100 are at 80 under fft load.

@demaciu88 I don't know if your familiar with the lithography of the processors. The conroe series were all 65nm in thickness, this therefore allowed them to be able to withstand a lot higher voltages by being able to disperse heat more effectively.When we start comparing this to a Sandy bridge E processor your argument is ruled as invalid because of the fact that Sand bridge E processors are 32nm in thickness making them less capable of sustaining such high voltages without any degradation.

@MrDouglaswu yes it is

[demaciu88]

@chrissep I'm invalid? ha! son!, your invalid! but seriously, I think I'll go with Linus on this one, and yes the conroe came out in 2006 so your close, point is 1.55 is a fine point to start with that can be dropped after validating, remember each chip will have slightly different behavior.

@chrissep i thought he said "how to get the most" out of your new intel hardware ??

[chrissep]

@demaciu88 Did you mean to say, herp derp!?

What proccesor are you talking about? I'm talking about the sandy bridge group of prossesors as shown in the video. Your comment is totally invalid. Having to put that much voltage on any current day prosseor would give you an oc of 4.8ghz, and up if your cpu is capable of such an overclock. BTW 3.4ghz at 1.5v sounds like your talking about a dual core from 4 years ago.

@nottinmatterz2day imagine, a Canadian that sounds, like... a Canadian.

@chrissep did you mean to say, derp!?

I had my conroe at 1.5 before 3.4gHz, even mass produced chips will all come out differently, I don't think that .075 is an insane difference.

@MrDouglaswu yeah no problem anf if you want save money go with 800w

@nottinmatterz2day He is.
