I see "stock heatcrapipes" in your sig - damn right you are, the thing is really trashy for a board at this price. I couldn't OC at all before replacing it. The board never really convinced me entirely. Don't know how many times I had to reset the CMOS. Didn't have the chance to test the F5 Bios though - are you using it? What RAM exactly did you put in? Did you ever play with "Clock skew control", the thing nobody knows what it is and what it does? Have you tried active NB cooling? Man, all these questions...finally somebody with a DS5
No active cooling for me, with all those Thermalright coolers I can barely see the NB cooler let alone fit anything anywhere around it...
RAM: I dont know what exactly are they, it's D9GMH, default SPD is 1.8V, 800MHz, 4-4-4-12. I might ask Saaya if he could check it for me. Both sticks are in second slots (slot 2 & 4), because HR-07's didnt let me use a fan on Ultra-120 when mems were in slot 1 & 3.
I did check clock skew control, it was 800ms default, changing it to 900ms did nothing. I'm satisfied with CPU clock, now moving to RAM clocking.
