You do know that I can turn off hyperthreading in the bios, which is what I did months ago during initial OCing. I’ve seen my four cores. I actually studied the chip before buying. Imagine that! This is just another example of you putting words in someone’s mouth so you can knock them down. But that’s what you do. The six core will be a socket 1366 part, won’t fit the iMac as far as I know. My wife saw me laugh in the store...LOL. Now why does this look like mom and dad defending their son after he said something stupid on the internet. Can’t the guy defend what he said without you two guys? I don’t mind the tag teaming, it’s actually funny. And the guys watching this know the act also. I’ve watched the act for years. As for the chip, 3.8 is easy for a C0 stepping on a good mobo, the D0 stepping which came out later is even faster. Ask anyone. I have no reason to lie.
Yes, I know. The question is why you claimed eight cores when you have only four.
If you knew there were only four, why post that the MB would support eight? Why exaggerate?

Wired magazine's review of the 27" iMac i7 says it can be safely overclocked to 4.0 GHz. My doubt has to do with your claim of finding your 1366 socketed i7 clockable to 3.8 six months ago for $250 while we'd have to pay $1000 today. I think that is another exaggeration.
