    I hope they don't drag their heels getting this to the UK like they did with the TP45.

    Why only -20°C?

    It is not because your board died and killed your cpu that all are killers

    i tested many tpower i45 and none died ... Maybe you was unlucky

    Nice numbers!! Goes to show what a bit of tweaking of the BIOS can do for you.

    the x58 seems like it's working out with the newi7 cpu's
    will it be the overclocking king like the TPower I45 ?

    Very nice. I only see NCIX with that board.
    http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...acture=BIOSTAR
    $344 CAD = $280 USD. VERY affordable.


    Typical Biostar orange/white--it looks good IMO. Backpanel layout is nice too--I like the dual-LAN like that, and the PS/2 for keyboard. Means my Model M would work. Great setup. Where'd you get the Noctura cooler? I'm looking for a top-performance top-down cooler. Right now it's between your Noctura and the Scythe Zipang.

    my chip didnt have issues benching all benchmarks at 221*21 on UD5 on SS with -45C to -50C

    i guess it's probably a cold bug somewhere lower as your cascade would do what... -100C or so right



    shame we cant run higher BCLK
    i'd love to give all those 965 boys a hard time with a 920 chip
