Kaby Lake has a very decent chance of reaching 5GHz what I've seen, here's a few stable overclocks on air or water copied from a swedish forum I follow:
5.0GHz 1.31v
4,95GHz 1.285v
5.0GHz 1.344v...

Sure hope this isn't a good indication of what kind of OC'ing 1700X is capable of, was hoping to go AMD this round but was waiting for the final bits, overclocking, to be revealed. Hoping it would at...

No I'm just stating what I want to see before I'm going AMD since a lot of applications I use still have poor multithread useage so even if it has core advantage, I don't want the lesser threaded...

Ryzen is starting to look better and better. :) But we're not stock clock users here and personally I'm thinking I want at least reach like 4.8GHz on a 1700X or otherwise I likely still pick 7700K....

1.5v jeeez, that's pretty daredevil coming from the manufacturer itself, most Kaby Lakes hit 5GHz mark in the 1.31 - 1.35v range and 1.35v from many stress test results is roughly whereabouts I'd...

Hmm, voltage looks fairly high for a 5.1GHz clock, idle temperature is unexpectly good for aircooling if accurate though. Was hoping a little better clock, what is the standard voltage for these...

+1, still a 1680x1050 here, I'm glad I'm no big res/display craving guy, means less maintenance cost to be able to play games. Even a GTX 760 handles this res nicely.

Secret M$ meeting:

- We have secret plan for you Elop; we want Nokia, so we can accelerate the Live cloud services and better integrate our MS office/Live products to mobile division, go fix it!...

Yea, it would be foolish by Nvidia to ignore this petition. I made some good arguments as to why in the forums:

A little dissappointed that there doesn't seem to be anyway to tweak RAM timings through Windows currently on Extreme6...

Seems now I managed to get a very satisfying sound. I was earlier connecting front panel via AC97 config instead of the HD Audio (stripped off another front panel from a case I had lying around). Now...

Hmmmm.... my onboard audio madventures continues... I was very pleased and even surprised when I fired up this VI Gene board to hear NO EMI noise AT ALL even at max amp volume it was dead silent when...

Guess Lucid also needs to make their business but would be cool to have it automaticly licensed as it would be part of the package IMO. Just like one simply downloads Realtek drivers to make the...

Sorry about all the spam regarding onboard audio but I was really set on to order a VI Gene but then I happened to find this...

It's okay, you already helped a lot and wasn't expecting you to be able to provide a clear response on this matter to begin with. Why I'm caring so much about the onboard sound chip though is that...

What I'm curious to know is if the noise is entering the audio chain AFTER the opamp and before the analog output which I'm suspecting is happening on the ASRock board, will the noise be further...

Thanks for the quick response, you rock! It was exactly like I suspected then, Gene having an opamp and Hero doesn't. But it doesn't totally make it easier for me to decide though, I will be using my...

Please, can you confirm whether Gene and Hero uses exactly same configs, it mentions 115dB SNR on Gene but says nada about Hero why I get a little suspicious. I hope noise-wise they are pretty the...

Wow that is quite depressing THD noise figure on the ASRock Extreme6, I dug up some measurements on ALC889A, which my previous board had and it had like -76~78 dB(A) depending on settings used. Guess...

Damn, you wouldn't be able to speed up the review of GENE would you!? :D Don't know if I could wait for weeks, I'd pretty much wanna get a new mobo ASAP haha. I'd be pretty devastated if I afterwards...

OK, that's good =) Didn't expect much about ppl able to comment on audio here as A) this is XtremeSystems and B) Realtek onboard audio is usually sneezed at xD Would be cool to know for certain if...

Thanks, did you happen to notice any differences in how much EMI / interfearence the boards pick up? The ASRock Extreme6 to me has unacceptably much EMI noise (HDD activity, mouse interfearence, high...

I'm really considering swapping mobo from ASRock Extreme6 to Maximus VI Hero or Gene but what I'm wondering is are the boards exactly the same minus PCI-E 2 slots vs 3 slots? What about the audio,...

How much CPU input voltage and cache voltage do you think is safe to use for 24/7 on air? I've been testing clocking my new 4670K on my ASRock Extreme6 and vcore wise it seems pretty decent so far...

What shop did you order from, just wondering because I recently put an order from Germany. :P
