At 1.33vcore, I'm able to get 4.3ghz Prime stable thus far, I'm just worried about my temps. 65c under load sound too high guys? Watercooled with setup in my sig.

No way man, 65 degrees is great. People get into the 70's with stock cooler on defaults!!Quote:

It works fine for me. It was stable before the update and after. Didnt notice much difference.
How many instances of IntelBurn at Maximum Stress level before declared stable?
How is the stock chipset cooling on this Motherboard?
I want to get a Motherboard that has good stock cooling as I use Air Cooling.
I read the temps can get kinda high on the EVGA Classified. Which board would have the best stock cooling between this Asus board, EVGA Classified and Gigabyte UD7?
Temps on this board are excellent.Quote:

my board temps stay in our around 32c all the time, even after hours of COD 4.
Hi Guys,
I could use some help in OC'ing my rig;
Here's what I've got
Antec 1200
i7 920 D0
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD12GX3M6A1600C8
SAPPHIRE 100281SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
WD 1TB Black
ThermalRight 120 Extreme Black w/120 x 38mm 114 CFM fan (pull)
850 w PCP&C PSU
2 - DVD Drives
So I'm using all 6 Memory slots and thus far I've not been able to get this thing to OC at all... any ideas or recommendations where to begin.
I've changed the XMP jumper back by the memory slots so the memory starts up with 1.65 V;
Thanks in advance

Hey Barneybadass, (great name btw lol)
Firstly i guess you already know that 12 gigs of ram @ 1600Mhz is not supported by Intel or Asus? Yes? Some people have trouble after 1333Mhz. Anyway luckily most people can still get it to work.
The setting that will help for 12 gigs is QPI/DRAM voltage. You need like 1.35v at 1600Mhz but i would suggest sacrificing a little memory speed (which hardly affects performance) and overclocking the CPU.
Try this: Set AI to manual
bclk to 175
Dram freq 1400ish
Vcore 1.3v
QPI/Dramv 1.35v
Dram bus voltage 1.64 (or 1.66)
Try it with memory timings on auto which will be 9-9-9-24 at around 1400Mhz
That will give you 3.5Ghz(bit more with turbo) If it works fine you can push up the bclk and see how far she will go.
Hey guys if you are interested in power saving features at all, this board has some pretty good ones and seem to work flawlessly. I've been running C1E and Speestep for the past week with the setting below and its been rock stable. It idles at 1.048v and you don't have to use loadline calibration :)

Most boards will have difficulty doing heavy overclocking with power saving features enabled but this one runs like a charm. For 24/7 use I don't like using LLC because it is essentially ASUS trying to control the voltage to a processor in a way that was not intended by Intel.Quote:

Back to basics: changed the power options to high performance. I think that should do it.Quote:

Thanks for the confirmation. It worked overnight without any slowdowns in GPUv2 folding, my primary objective.Quote:

Got to work on the case air flow. . . .

This corsair dominator C7 (not GT, just regular dominator) is special. Rated for DDR3-1600 7-7-7-20-1T at 1.65v.
Here's 21 x 195 DDR3-1950 7-8-7-20-1T 1.6v DRAM 1.35v QPI, hyperpi32M x 8 stable. The board sets the auto timings beautifully...it has essentially just been a case of adding enough QPI voltage. 21 x 200 requires more than 1.4 for sure so I'm gonna try backing off to the 20x multi and see if it flies at 2000 with similar QPI volts and timings.

Blackdragon, you have some nice components. I have the same memory as you but unfortunately i have a CO CPU. But anyway it does 4Ghz and im happy with the performance.
You need a SSD next!!
Thank you sir.Quote:

Anyways, I mistakenly covered the everest scores which were 21.5K/17.5K/24K Read Write Copy:

And yeah, SSD is next on the list once I fleabay the velociraptors. Have my eye on the Vertex 100GB LE But have had some crappy experiences with OCZ customer support so thinking of maybe waiting for the corsair sandforce drives to show up. Then its a matter of ditching the GTX 285's and getting a 5970 and I think I'll be happy for a few minutes :p:
I was looking at the OCZ Vertex LE too. :up: but its like $500 here so i might wait another month or two.Quote:
