i overclock this with out touching the voltage

when i get to 28x160=4480 it will boot into a black screen

And how are you doing please keep your Temperature under Control.

I'm not sure what you are using your computer for, but I think you are already at the point of diminishing returns on your CPU speed. The Domino is a great little cooler, but to go higher you are going to have to apply some serious voltage/heat, and it won't be able to handle it. If you are looking at a stable 24/7 clock you are fine where you are. Your ram and video are going to bottleneck you at this point, assuming you are looking at high resolution gaming uses.

I'm beginning to think some people are using these forums for bragging right. If you're going to brag, do it right!!! You're QPI link is pathetic bud ^_^ If you run certain appications/games, you won't notice 4.4GHz running through it unless they utilizes it. And sometimes you will see the CPU bottleneck/hang. Enjoy ^_^
