Yeah I finally got the guts to get my CPU at 3ghz : D CPU Voltage at 1.35 Volts. Idle Temperature is a little high. So I m going to have to get a better heat sink soon. Maybe then I can get 3.2 stable without having to fry my motherboard. | |

Its still too expensive when you compare it the performance of ATI products, relative performance and all. A OCed 4870 nips at the heals and in some cases beats a GTX 280.
