yeah i was speachless when my uncle called and asked me the model number of my motherboard so he could make sure to get a speed matched Deneb, and after i discovered the bent pins due to playful cat i sat pretty much unblinking trying not cry...so i'm still just happy it didn't get FUBARed 36 hours after i got it.

The only thing i was warned about was the possibility that i shouldn't post CPU-Z or overdrive screens with visible voltages when referencing clock speeds, reporting voltages is ok, Verifying not sure, so until i get verification just gonna avoid potential problem.

The thing clocks high and easy on suprisingly low volts, and is drastically cooler then my 9850 was with same DuoOrb heat sink, I've taken the voltage up to 1.6 and still haven't seen it go above 50c under sustained load despite the fact that i just used the white thermal grease that came with the HS instead of the usual AS5. In 24C ambient it's idling around 28-29c @1.35v clocked to 3.7, load temps are 35-36c with all 4 cores @100%.

As much as i love the motherboard, i suspect the 4+1 phase power is a bit hindering to stability, i was running my 9850 in this board for a week or so before i got the deneb and while i was able to crank it up an extra 350mhz over what i could on the DFI 790FX/SB600 board, Using this asus board even running the 3.3ghz DFI rock solid speed was somewhat flakey. So im going to pick up on 790FX to run this chip in, have always relied on DFI for uber overclocking but would be grateful for any recomedations from anyone that's had first hand experience with more then one MFG.

Also, i must admit that i'm kind of at a loss with the ACC function, i've more or less been randomly setting the % either plus or minus, so any insight that could be shed on its functionality would be appreciated.

So just ran prime, and too lazy to take a screeny and btw @ 3ghz SuperPi runs 1mb in 23secs
