IF you want to go near 4.0GHz, I either of the two will do the thing but if you can get a watercooling system, it would be best.
I want to get to at least 3.4 ghz without putting too much stress on the CPU. If I ever replace my DK, it will definitely be watercooling. Before considering the DK, I was thinking about a lapped TRUE, but seeing how Newegg didn't sell TRUEs, I was really disappointed. =(
By the way, what do you think I should start at for FSB and voltage to get a stable 3.4? I know it's a very ball park estimate, but I'll start from their and see if I can get some good stability.
