Picked up a 720 BE and a gigabyte 790FX UD5 mobo, and Im hitting 3.9ghz with a stock 940BE heatsink (had one laying around) and stock voltage, booted right up no issue and running prime for the past hour no issues... Picking up water cooling Saturday morning and will see what I can hit with this, but damn is this chip a beast for the 160 dollars they cost. Wouldnt recommend the oem cooler that ships with it though, they went back to that sorry aluminum design, no heatpipes like the 900 series :-(

Man, I WANT ONE!! I may just go AMD just to play with these chips
