Well after picking up a 2500K to go with my DP67BG board from Intel, I have to say, overclocking this thing feels like I'm cheating.
Because the cpu does not allow for nearly any changes to the bus speeds you're left with cranking the multi. So, after spending about 5 minutes constantly raising mine, I've gotten it to run at 4.4ghz in turbo mode. Resulting in a SuperPi time of 9.017 seconds.
Does anyone know how to prevent the processor from clocking down when it is idle? I feel like I could improve the time a bit if there was no delay in jumping from 1.6ghz at idle to 4.4ghz at load.
Feel free to share your experiences with these chips and any thoughts you might have about them.
