O.K. That means I will have to set the Vcore manually so the DVID will be grayed out (isn't active).
What do ya think how much VCore am I supposed to fire on? 1.31V is enough for 4.6 GHz.

my new memory world record lmao. trying an intel board for the first time, something seems a little off.

Lol seems that the board is a beast mem clocker lol

1.4v id stay under.

OC Nub- nice job there! you totally beat me

hey yea those Intel boards have some issues, did you get tired of your rampage or something? lol.

^^ I wanted to build a 24/7 rig. Need to start using a seperate rig for benching, and this was the only x79 board the local shop had. After a bios flash memory still reads wrong in cpuz, but everything else seems to be working fine.

After a couple days playing with it, I actually like the board, even for over clocking. It does 5ghz on less vcore than the R4E, I was half tempted to put the R4E in the 24/7 and use this for benching, but I havent been able to clock quite as high with it yet.

How much voltage (Vcc) did ya need for 5 Ghz?

On the Intel board with 1.465v set in bios, it loaded out at 1.41v with LLC set to Low vdroop. I tested using the Intel stress test that came with the software, not LinX or P95. I ran it at 4.8ghz on the R4E using LLC medium at 1.395v bios, 1.378v load. I didnt run it at 5ghz at the time on the R4E, because the vcore required was around 1.45v load.

Put the board in a case now, with a cheap air cooler running at stock, with mem at 2133mhz. In the process of redoing the old room. Needs painting and a little work.
