Happy to be shown to be wrong though- if anyone feels like cracking out a Pi 1M and 32M at 3600MHz on their DS4, feel free. any combo/timings ya like.
I have made a SP1 just for you K404. I ran it just seconds ago on my Vista machine. Please note that this is my setup for game/work/surf so EVERYTHING is running in the background, and that is a lot
I think Vista adds about a second or so to SP1 compared to XP SP2

i love the quality of the gigabyte! think this is going to be my next board.
any liquid in the heat pipes?
also, anyone watercooling these yet? how is the clearance?
I'm using a homemade block for the CPU and it is no problem what so ever.
I even have the CrazyCool still on...

I had the EXACT same thoughts before buying this MB. Now that I have used it for a few weeks or so I am more then pleased with the heatpipe solution.
It is WAY more then you need. And now I'm pretty happy about it not dumping more heat into my water then needed. Run with the HP, you won't be sorry!
