Nope.
The Afterburner Extreme is still being distributed by MSI to selected individuals ( extreme overclockers ).

...I have to admit that I was kinda sarcastic, since I have it - and I am far from "selected" :D

Don't you dare call me fat! I actually only weigh 65kgs. :D

Besides, I can't really say I'm leaking the mods, as far as I can rembember, there was nothing that stated these mods couldn't be made public. Besides, I'm quite sure MSI would like to see their motherboards used as widely as possible by overclockers, so I'm fairly sure there's no damage done. :)

Very wise words :up:

the new 2.0x have not been released to the wild yet, with OC'ers having to sign an NDA aparently.
Seems pretty lame to me.

The new AFB is designed for an as of now unreleased card, and you want it before even the NDA guys get it? :p:

What are the symptoms of triggering OCP on this board?

I'm at 1.45 vcore with a 980X. It's stable at 4.15GHz, but as soon as I set it to 4.3GHz, then run 12 instances of Prime95 small FFT, the CPU multi scales way down.

Definitely not thermal related as temps are fine...

I can't imagine I'm already running into the current limit though. This is on air... Both 8-pin are connected.

OCP = Instant black screen, all power to the CPU is cut off. So no, you're not having OCP issues.
