    Ok, i'll give you that, however, without knowing what the setting does that you leave on auto, you've left yourself open to all sorts of unknown issues.

    I mean really, when confronted with a "new setting", I simply start at stock, and play with it until I see exactly what it does.

    Transaction booster, for example...what a stupid name for a memory setting! But I knew what it was from day one...i've been begging for adjustments to this and TRFC for almost a couple of years now(pls feel free to google my user name and TRD/trfc)...when only DFI gave you access to it.

    BUt as you say, without knowing what it does...you don't know how you are overclocking. Of course, my statement in my last merely applies to votlages, but clocking blindly on auto in any setting is not a good idea, IMHO.

    When I say my cpu has degraded, it's degraded. My fault? I don't think so, but possible. BUt definately a real problem for users with the same config as me.
