All overclock well. I'd say the best overall is probably the i7-975, but that's not really a fair comparison with most of the others. For the price, the i5 is hard to beat.

Well, it looks like the Gulftown ES's are blowing away the competition.

Wonder how the retail versions will do?

OK, back to reality and my miniscule bank account, they are all capable of decent OC's on air and water, it all depends on your bank account as to which one is for you.

This is kinda dumb Andy. It's like saying what model CHEVY is best, everyone has a choice of the various models, but price will come into play, options, etc.

Same with your processor question here, people with a tighter budget will pick the i5, people with the bigger bank roll will take the i7 and some people will be looking into the future for the Gulftown.

They are all GOOD processors and are ALL capable. There is NO best here, get it.
