ANY brothers using the Swifttech Apogee CPU block on this MB. Can tell me whether it fits?

I've got the Apogee GT's. Fits perfectly.Quote:

Previous versions were actually reporting the max multiplier not the actual.
It says with the CPUz 1.39 that it is running at 3.5ghz all of the time. But with CPUz 1.39.1 it says different.Quote:

Does the Scythe Ninja fit`?
Scary hot! :D Highest post reached was at 380mhz but windows would lock up as soon as any load was put on it. Lowered fsb to 334, cpuv to 1.5, mchv to 1.6, ddrv to 1.9 & fsbv to 1.22Quote:

All using my $12 special Sunbeam silent wisper HSF:) I may try a better HSF like the ENZO as I dont think a tuniq will fit in the case.
I would like to know this also as I plan on getting a BX2 and I have that cooler.Quote:

C1E does not get disabled even if you set it to disabled.
download rmclock and you will see that it is still enabled in windows.
once you disable it and hit apply, you will see your clock speed get set to what it is in bios.
Do you think C1E can cause instability issue if not correctly disabled? EIST Speedstep is off, thats the thing that changes the voltage while idle/load but C1E if it only changes your multiplier it shouldnt be a problem for stability ? You only waste voltage for lower speed but you save a bit of power consuption because of the lower Mhz even if you have the same vcore.

For Badaxe 2 What Is The Big 4 Pin Connector For? Can I Use It For Fan Or Does It Have To Be Connected To The Psu?
you can use a regular 3pin fan there.Quote:

Okay guys I'm getting this board with a e6700, anything I should know before hand?
no no no not that i meant the 4 pin connector by the i/o plate the big wide one that resembles the regular pata connector power pin.Quote:

HOWEVER, I have observed that if you've set the core voltage to something other than default, C1E seems to only change the multiplier.Quote:

To the guy (nightprowler 77) that's asking about the Scythe... I have an Infinity fitted to mine. If that fits, the ninja should I'm thinking.
Well, thats it :)Quote:

I even set vMCH to 1.6 and vFSB to 1.5 (i think). Could this have something do to with the C1E feature?Quote:

That is an "Auxilary PCI-E power connector" that is designed to give a little additional boost to the PCI-E bus I believe, I would NOT hook a fan up to it, although it probably wouldn't hurt anything, but the fan wouldn't work and you never know...Quote:

3 Seagate 320GB 7200.10 RAID 0, and I'm stuck at almost a flat line 122MB/s, something not right there(burst is 256). BIOS setting, HD firmware, driver? Is this common? It's unacceptable performance. I have seen the ICH7 doing much faster then this, so it's something I need or am overlooking.
