Core i7 920 2.66GHz (cheapest Core i7) @ 4.30GHz on AIR COOLING at EVGA

yea that's it....but still, 80c at 100% is a lot considering cpu's now only get to like 40-50c

Actually, one thing you are going to see, is that as the parts get more and more compact, temps are going to get higher. As they cram more and more transistors onto the same size die, there is more stuff putting out heat.

The size of the new lga socket is huge so im guessing higher temps will be normal.

So if i use a Noctua Heatsink i can get it to 3GHZ without any worries about temps and such right?

drool's,, sound's like it'll be a good over clocking CPU than.

Well a lot of the extra die size is the memory controller.
