^nice to see u again darky...and amazing results btw...when are u going to do the i7's?

Anyway, about turbo mode, it doesnt depend on your temp....if u leave it enabled, multiplier will be increased by 1...ie 21 from 20 in i7 920 and 940...therefore giving u a small Mhz boost...like 2.8ghz from stock 2.66 in i7-920...

As for power management, it can easily be controlled thx to intel speedstep...if u enable this in the bios, your cpu automatically decreases multiplier to 15-16, or maybe lower sometimes to save power when its not under load....

BTW @desi, can liquid HE actually take temp to -256 ie absolute temp? I dont think so because absolute temp is theoretical and hasnt and prolly can never be achieved
