After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Benchmarks - Overclocked
As with all of our reviews we pit the default speed system against the overclocked one in a head to head byte match. The results of this are below. The effective overclock for these tests is 4.0Ghz @ 200Mhz. The system seemed to have hit a wall at anything over 4Ghz.

Unreal Tournament 3
Overclocking Conclusion
As with most all Quantum Force products the overclocking experience was extremely enjoyable and rather intuitive. While our overlock was limited to a maximum 4Ghz we do feel there is more this system can offer given some time and turning. One thing to notice is that at 4Ghz and a matching 2000Mhz memory clock the overall bandwidth is just 6GB/s shy of the Core i7 on the X58. Not too bad for a low end Core i5.
