Well, on this particular program it is tieing the 2600k @ 4.7 with it at stock. So pushing it up would get it above the 2600k top end fairly quickly. even 4.0 or 4.2 or the like would still score very well.

That logic doesn't necessarily hold truth. These things are not linear, in fact temp and power is exponential. Either way, id like to see what it can do, but the i was under the impression that the 3930k runs away thermally...

It might be 2 months before I get it, but I think I am going to try this. Worse case scenario is that it may end up adding 50% to my folding scores. Very curious as to what it can do on air.

I found some nice aircoolers which are better then some watercoolers, but nobody answers in my thread :'(

Yes it can freeze, but you must wait at least 6-8min. It seems like it is frozen, but it's doing his job.
If your scores aren't that great, you must run it for a second time (on some cpu's).

Yeah that's a perfectly normal occurance. After you hit the 'benchmark' button a warning dialogue will come up saying the application may appear to freeze/not respond but actually it is benching your CPU.
