Moving on to overclocking performance..

In our benchmarks, we test the capibilities of the chip's overclocking headroom on the 3 various Heatsink fans.

With the stock heatsink and a vcore of 1.45v,, we managed to push the chip to 3.8Ghz, from the orignial 3.0Ghz, thats a 800Mhz or 26% increase. Yielding a 5782 CPU score in 3Dmark06.

With the ZeroTherm BTF80, we pushed the chip an 80Mhz higher than the stock heatsink by providing us a frequency of 3880Mhz ( 3.88Ghz) which is equlivant to an increase of 29.3%. The 3DMark06 CPU score is 5922.

 Now using the Coolermaster Hyper212, we achieved a benchable frequency of 3,920MHz (3.92Ghz), that's pretty close to an increase of 1Ghz, statics show an increase of 30.6%! 3DMark CPU test score achieved was 6051.
