it is yeah, but it's the fun stuff and all that so it's reyt, will have this on a 3960X all under water soon as my board arrives so this'll be fun to see how that does :P should be pretty capable though, i know for a fact this chip is capable of 4.9GHz at 1.4v so we should be able to get 5 out of it with some luck now that i'll have better cooling :P
