yes it was a nd voltage issue they fixed it in bios but now my taiwan board is set 1.6v in bios gives me 1.55 n before was 1.59:(Quote:

I had a board from both and they both died within 2 weeks. So for me it didn't matter where they came from ;)Quote:

So outside of my Crossfire being slower on this board, everything else is the same.
I know my quad can go higher, but neither the P965-S (not surprising) nor the LT X38 (very surprising and disappointing) can take it there. Eagerly waiting for the Rampage.

I though Ballistix 8500 used D9GMH chips.Quote:

From the 'DDR2 RAM List' they can have GMH, GCT and GKX. Haven't seen the D9GCT's on the Ballistix 8500 before :shrug:Quote:

my ballistix are d9gmhQuote:

there are ballistix with d9gkx though
everything on auto +more aggressiveQuote:

but the board ran 4 gigs like it was nothing
i couldnt do 800mhz on x38-dq6
with 2 stix i'm @ 2.09v for 1200mhz 24/7
I'm getting my board end of this february. pairing with q6600 and reaperx.
What Air cooler will fit on the motherboard? Will I be able to install the northbridge cooler with Thermalright ultra 120 ex?

lol i had a feeling someone gonna make a comment:p:Quote:

i will be getting a hr05 sli for it soon i want it to blow out the back
yeah saw lot's of setup like the way u mention.
Will it effect the case flow? I'm using Lian Li PC-007.
Thinking either getting the 90i or True blowing up. Need to consider the other components as well, the PWM and also the reaperx ram.
get the true n dont look back the 90i not as good for a quadQuote:

i got a laptop heatpipe heatsink commin for the pwm:D
then i gonna get an hr-05 sli for nb
i prefer it facing back for airflow but most saying they get better temps with it facing up
yeah:)Quote:

I have Scythe Infinity and it performs also very well blowing to the back

nope. it can be down blowing to the side, towards the exhaust. i did it too. its a matter of 1/50 inch...but it works!Quote:

ya but you gotta bend a few finsQuote:

Probably will get true then tried both setup, see which 1 gives the best overall performance. My country here hard to get HR-05, only can get SLI/IFX version.
i would only put an hr-05 sli on this boardQuote:

BTW a lot of times when I start some stressing utility like Orthos or Prime the monitor freezes for 2\3sec. and then the system restarts.
My sistems is in the signature
Hope someone of you will answer my question, i need seriously some support.
Sorry for my English, I'm writing from Italy
Bye!!
