CPU
Stepping: LCB9E 0704TPMW
OC: 2700 (300x9) @ 1.325v
Same stepping Opty 165 running 2700 at 1.325v (300x9)
Idles at 32 on one core an 36 on other.
Load running prime95 45/48 degrees after a hour of running. Air cooled with a XP90
with a 50cfm fan.
Amaircare filter I would recommend looking at if you are in the market for a air filter. I researched for about a year before buying one. I have a Model 4000 which has been a very good air filter for 4yrs now. House dusting was cut to a 1/3rd, no smells in the house from cooking, or cat odors...
I have a set of the GSkill 2gig HZ runs 270 (1:1) at 2.5v in a ultra-d. Neighbor also has a set with same mobo an runs the same as mine. Cpu-Z show both sets at 3-5-5-10.

I have some old OCZ PC3200 rev2 (2-256 sticks) with the copper heatspreader, probably 3yrs old. They are pretty decent an run 245fsb(htt) at 2-2-2-6 with 3.2v in a DFI UT250gb. Could possible be bh-6, but have not removed the heatspreaders to find out.
K8 Cool 'n' Quiet Support= Auto(enable), disable. Mobo automaticly scales down VID/FID at system idle. DISABLE for overclocking!!
CPU VID Control= 0.800v-1.550v in 0.025v increments. VID means Voltage IDentification. This is simple the Vcore.
CPU VID Special Control= 104%, 110%, 113%...
Hold down the insert key when booting an go into bios an disable command per clock with the 512 sticks. Only use 1 stick till you get it booting in dimm1.
First your power supply is not enough to do the job if the cpu would hit 2400. Just because others have hit 2.4 with 1.75v don't mean others will do the same just because it is a 1700+ dlt3c. It takes a certain stepping of the model to do it. It takes good cooling an a 40cfm fan is not going to...
The new locked thoroughbred will not unlock with that method. That worked with the thunderbirds but not a thoroughbred. An as far as I know they have not figured a way to unlock the new thoroughbred cpu's. That is why most people are buying mobile cpu's as they are unlocked.
Mojo
2 reasons people rave about them.
1. Desktop cpu's are now multiplier locked an mobiles are not locked.
2. O/C higher with less voltage an run cooler.
