Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

Thanks EF - been priming at 450x9 for about 90 mins now - the small room I call an office (play room really) is like a sauna!!. Prime is now on the 560000LLi @ 12k FFT loop so looking good so far. If this works then i'll try again with CR1 command rate, breaking 11k read speed on Everest now so things are moving on. I never thought this was possible and was about to try X38 !!! but it seems that CPU & NB GTL's make the world of difference. Once I have this nailed i'll rip off the stock cooling and kit it out with Thermalright H/sinks similar to Vega22.

What S/W are people using to capture screen shots ?

Excellent work with your E8600 BTW . So what CPU will you use for gaming - quad or dual ?

Sounds like the room needs some ventilation!

I just use Print Screen button on the keyboard and crop/save using paint... easy enough

I think I'll be using the dual for gaming since not really all that many games takes advantage from multicore beyond 2 cores... Also 4.3Ghz+ with reasonable voltages on my 8600 is great for single threaded apps (thats most of them on my PC...)

Also to be honest I do have to echo the view of others, I feel the 16 Phase PWM is really designed and optimised for dual core processers, and although very much capable, they strain powering quads, and a VDroop of 0.8V backs the theory. With duals everything runs cooler and the whole system just seems to be in a state of harmony...
