    Insane 32M run chew! I was stoked to run a 7m 00.067s 32M run at 5200+ on my 920.

    I like what I see I don't think this is too late, it's the PERFECT match for a 990X (or how about seeing how high you can take a 661?).

    Great review, I like how you threw the C0 in there to show what the board will do with other mediocre chips.

    sorry off topic, but we need finer vdimm adjustment/resolution on the gb-p6a side. no intention derailing subject matter.

    1.60
    1.62
    1.64
    1.66


    1.65 is even missing

    just putting it out there.

    This is so awesome-sauce mate. Doing that with a bunch of random CPUs is very nice! Good job dude loving the comparisons too, very interesting perspective.

    Very nice work Brian.

    Prolly the best actual review I have seen that truely shows what this board can do and what it can't.

    I know that was a ton of work for you, but you love it

    Nice Brian

    I took a retail 970 for a spin the other day, chip is rather unimpressive and i guess needs ln2, whether or not i can find the time or money to bench it on ln2 is questionable but i figured i'd throw this in here to.

    Bclk limits were same, lost nor gained anything however runs are done lower bclk to match max optimal frequencies of chip.

    I really didn't bother with anything single threaded, wanted to see how the board handled load.

    Question: would I be able to fit (2) GTX 580s (w/ standard coolers), (1) PCIE Intel NIC and (1) PCIE RAID card on this board?

    Thanks.

    Physically I don't see why they would not fit. I don't have an intel nic or PCIE raid card to show an example however.
