    what temp were you getting?

    the problem with turbo mode is the auto voltage increase isn't enough, it increases an set amount (or a ratio of VID), we need voltage increase in proportion to the overall overclocked voltage.

    got my 750 3Ghz stable with turbo on intel stock cooling. 3.6Ghz won't stay stable with turbo mode, had a run at 3.8Ghz with turbo but no luck :(
    ordered Corsair H50 from Novatech, so hopefully can do some real overclocking soon.

    Guy told me earlier his i5 750 on a p55-ud3 is running 24/7 stable @ 4.6 ghz 255 x 18 cooled with a sythe Kabuto and temps of around 60 under load.

    Think i am being told porky pies.
    Are people getting results like this out the chip?

    either he's the luckest person alive, or he's bluffing.

    my i5 750 only does 4Ghz 100% stable with just over 80c running Intel Burn Test. i have reached 4.4Ghz, not stable enough for my liking (and volts are too high) to do use as my 24/7 clock, but enough for benchmarks.

    generally, clocks for 750 range from 3.8Ghz to 4.4Ghz, if you are lucky, 4.4Ghz only needs 1.4v, otherwise you may need 1.4v for 3.8Ghz.

    VGA2USB dongle.

    We were going to test the CD53 last week but unfortunately MSI's notoriously shite M-Flash bricked it.

    Mobo price

    The price is so cheap. I wish I can get my hands on this chip soon.

    Interesting,

    Where can you purchase one of these VGA2USB dongles? Or is just a standard USB dongle with a program on it that let's you grab screenshots? Forgive my ignorance on this matter but I've always wondered how to grab screenshots outside of Windows.

    EDIT: Scrap that, if this is the sort of thing you used http://www.epiphan.com/products/frame-grabbers/vga2usb/?gclid=CPrBn-C3gJ4CFQdl4wod21Ipqg (which I'm assuming it is) then it's out of my price range lol.
