why?Quote:

You can probably smoke that with your worst chip :p: I want to see 30 K plus :up:
The MSI is very sensitive to any moisture near PWM it seems. Might want to give it another shot with a dud first.
Either that or the latest bios got it to work for us.
Time will tell.
I think I am late for the party.....

Hey Sampsa did you get a voltage tuner to work? I tried the evga one my friend uses but I get lock ups. Thx.
Ok update....

Just for reference Vantage with TWKR and GTX 295 Quad SLI on M4N82 Deluxe:

Vantage CPU @ 5900 MHz:

P30k needs +6 GHz on CPU with this platform. Very bad motherboard for extreme-overclocking (especially NB) so no more tests from me.
THX for the reference point sampsa. seems the gtx have about a 1000 point advantage at rougly same cpu speed.Quote:

The first thing you do is not ask them ;)Quote:

Thx for the heads up chew* :(
Nice job Sampsa! :mad: I think I can get a lil more from the ram. I will keep trying.
Thank you guys for all the useful info you guys post out there. :up:
Your chip will probably do those speeds we benched at Cobra.....nothing stellar about either of our speeds, Sampsa and I were just feeling out particular boards.....MSi has a back track record as sampsa already knows. I guess he covered that board......the search continues....as I'm still not confident about using the MSI with a good chip.Quote:

Thats the spirit :up:Quote:

For DI yes.....Ln2 no....However...I have some inside if on a rather affordable but awsome performing DI pot in the works.....via this company....it's combining effeciency with performance with bang for buck...it may even perform well on ln2...jury still out as it needs testing.Quote:

DI works with a rad setup as long as the mixture has a low freeze point and blocks have high flow....done it before with a dual pump setup.
Awesome ! :D I've been looking for result with Quad-SLi/3-way SLi on this motherboard and with a Phenom II X4 955 CPU.
By comparing I assume my system gets what it should get. I swapped my Core i7 920 GTX280 SLi system for PII X4 955 GTX280 3-way-SLi.

I know it's with PhysX but I can't be bothered, why cripple the cards.

Cable management i know i know, but i did the best i could do in this case. The cables were really stiff and the ATX cable I could put behind the motherboard plate since then the case-panel couldn't close, so I had to put the ATX cable in the middle up to the sidepanel.
All the PCI-E cables are so stiff so I had to put them in the bottom of the case, they are obstructing a bit airflow from the 80mm fan almost invisibe, but it's there... it's better than nothing. Else the whole harddrive area and the area for the GFX and the CPU area i free og cables. The cables you can see are all placed right up the right left case-sidepanel.
The 8pin motherboard connector wasn't long enough to let ig go around the back... and I couldn't wait for an extension cable.

I put a Scythe Kaze Maru 140mm 1900rpm on the side panel (fits in 120mm mounting wholes), hooked up to a Zalman fanmate.
And don't worry I've cleaned the panel so no more fingerprints all over :D
Looks good :up: I can do a better job on a friends/customers comp on cable management but when it comes to mine.... well you know :D. Overclock the piss out of those cards. You are holding back on us :sonic:
