20% IPC boost with Steamroller? (First page, second picture) That's enough for their 8-core chips to catch up or surpass current i5s, right?

When you don't care about it doesn't mean no one else cares.

The Dual-X is their basic heatpipe cooler. Its a good value. It still is a 270X, I would recommend this version if you are on a budget. The Vapor-X uses a vapor chamber system to transfer heat away from the GPU itself. I personally have this one but I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not...

Yes, appearances can be deceiving, as it is a 270, which has a lower TDP.

That's actually an excellent temperature and speed for that voltage. It seems you may have a golden chip. Frequency won't damage your chip, voltage will, but the degradation caused is insignificant if you are not going for very high voltages. I would recommend trying to see how far you can go...

That's normal. Its a feature called Intel SpeedStep that lowers the CPU frequency to 1600MHz to save power when its not needed. EDIT: Just saw you said SpeedStep is off. But its definitely a SpeedStep feature. I'll look into that.

Heisenbug.... Fedora.... hmm... I think I'll thread lightly.

Wait... so he's 19 and has a 4 year old son?

I wonder if the fin array will also act as a radiator to cool the liquid.
