just some FYI for anyone struggling with the MSI X58 Platinum. I had a board that would NEVER run ram >1150mhz out of the box. I think I got a defective one. Tried 6 different sets of memory, so it wasn't a compatability issue. Even though cpu might have been issue, but wanted to try Asus P6T first before sent cpu back.
P6T is awesome in comparison. First I was able to use my watercooler with the standard 775 layout, as the board has both optoins for S775 and S1336 mounting. 2nd, alot more overclocking options
At 195bclks now with 1.425v on 920 cpu and low 50C's load temp on Swiftech Apex watercooling kit.
