Hi Zoomee,

Once again I find myself in agreement - think Ket missed the point in my earlier post about voltage control and LLC on these boards not being as good as they should be, and leading to more volts/heat than necessary
for any given clock - even low ones. I am begining to think that a better quality board would have paid dividends, but fear I am stuck with this now. I still find it hard to believe my w cooling struggles, but again having invested
so heavily it will not be an easy choice to give up. How is it that the corsair H100 does better than a dual rad etc etc - does not make sense to me. I don't know where to go from here, but thanks kindly for your input again.
Glad to see I am not the only one with concerns about the absolute quality of these boards - given the price I think we should have expected and got better, but hey ho that life.

I was only hoping to go for 4.8 - 5ghz for fun and then dial back for 24/7.
