Kentsfield with phase change question...

[JLGatsby]

Since the Kentsfield processor is two processor chips on one die, can you still hook one up to a typical phase change unit (such as the Asetek VapoChill)?

There will not be any problems because it's two separate chips?

Also, is the Kentsfield easy to overclock? Anything different because there are two chips?

The cores are on the same heatspreader, so yes you can. From what I've seen, it overclocks pretty well.

The initial overclocking i've seen on Kenstfields tells me that they do not hit FSB's nearly as high as conroe/allendales. http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4215&s=15 Of course with phase cooling you could probably do better.
