Also, I dont see why my 3Dmark scores are so low compared to the Asus Striker II. I was getting 14k @ 3GHz and 1600Mhz memory on the Asus, but I'm getting 12.500 on this board with 1600MHz memory and 3.6GHz CPU speed.
With Windows crashing at 1600MHz there is definitely stability issues. If 3dMark is run on a system that unstable and completes the benchmark the score almost always suffer. If 1600MHz can be made Windows stable your score will most likely take a huge jump.
