In the spirit of more hardware addiction, I have acquired an X58 sniper that came with a I7 990X as an added bonus for a bargain bin price since the seller apparently forgot it was in the motherboard. Suffice to say, I immediately started my usual.
I was able to get to 4.35 ghz with a 133 mhz bclk, and push an absurd 1800 mhz on my memory, which is quite high for the platform. The 990X has a potent memory controller. The clockspeed though is meh. I needed to blast my cpu PLL, voltage and QPI pll because this cpu was an absolute dog at overclocking.
