QX6850 @ 5133MHz!
While we await Yorkfield Processors, the latest incarnation of the Kentsfield processor still holds plenty to look forward to! EVGA Rev A2 vintage 680i SLI Motherboard, together with Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850. This combo runs much better than my good old QX6700... the amazing thing about this CPU is it's low requirement of voltage.
Just 1.55v, without any Droop mods on the board, this processor runs through 3D Mark CPU Test with the 4 cores at 4792MHz, and with just plain old Cascade cooling!
With 1.65v, I played for some screenshots, with 4 cores enabled of course!
5133MHz with just 1.65v! For best clocks of course, LN2 has to be employed, but looking at this, probably 3D Mark stable at 5GHz with LN2 cooling is quite easy. So much better than my QX6700!

E6850 @ 640MHz FSB
Time for another 6850 test, the Core 2 Duo Conroe E6850. This I tested for maximum FSB, on the Gigabyte P35T DQ6 Motherboard running Kingston Hyper-X KHX11000D3LLK2 DDR3.
640MHz FSB is it, without any mods to chipset voltage.
