Excellent. What is the stock speed of that chip?
I'm gonna get an Arctic Freezer Pro and see if i can run it @ 4Ghz 24/7, it's EO stepping so it should be fine. If it's under 70 degrees at full load i'm happy.
The Freezer 7 Pro is push-pin and more than adequate for all but the most extreme overclocking with zero risk of "bending" your motherboard. Stop spreading FUD.
Been running mine @4Ghz+ for about 18 months now on an X48-DS5, still havent found a game it cannot play.
I'll wait till prices drop then get another 4890 and maybe a good quad which should last me another couple of years gaming.
Great cpu.
