I gotta say this chip/board clocks pretty good. 4.2ghz is stable at 1.3V @ ~68-70deg. Not bad for a lynnfield on air.

Only got mine a few weeks, got one of those chinese key removers though when i need to clean it :P
Spilled some coke on it last night, aswell as some monster. Oh and water. >.>
Still works fine though, but the Å & ¨ keys have very sticky. Been trying to clean them but it hasn't worked

Try dipping it in 100% alcohol, leaves no residue when it dries up. Just make sure it's all evaporated before turning it on.
4GB is obviously going to outperform 2GB when running triple monitors as well as a game that's pumping out super high res textures. Massive resolutions give way for massive VRAM usage for games that utilize decent textures for enthusiasts. Skyrim modding is another example.

If it could use the 4GB, which it can't on it's 256bit/192GB/s memorybus. Hence it's a really poor price/performance card. Any GTX600 series with a 4GB buffer is.
Well, this isn't a q9550 :P And 4.2 is pretty good for a i5-760. Specially since it was rather easy to achieve.
Yes, but Yorkfield is irrelevant to Lynnfield.

Completely wrong. It won't.
It will likely be able to run much the same performance as the 2GiB card, but it won't outperform it, ever.
It can utilise more VRAM than the 2GiB card, but that buffer means nothing, since the 2GiB card can run it equally well.
Btw got something interesting for you if you want to gain a few degrees :P http://www.indigo-xtreme.com/images/...verallTemp.png
Thinking about buying this TIM but I'm cba with the burn in time unless I take my cooler of the cpu :P
I don't understand what you're saying. If a 2GB card hits a VRAM cap, regardless of membus, it's going to choke. While a 4GB card -not- hitting its VRAM cap will not.

Plenty of Skyrim modders (and 4K texture users) would widely disagree. You can easily hit north of 2GB in certain situations.
