    That's major suckage, it's a great feature once you have your final overclock down. No need to be pumping 1.45v 4.3ghz when browsing youtube!

    If i knew about this, i probably would have went with the Bloodrage.. I guess i'll have to read up on this 'pencil mod'

    Like I was saying; speed binning for memory took a huge turn for the worse as far as getting those golden sticks so if you're going to chase the high clocks, just go right to highest end that you can afford.

    BobbyLite has some pretty interesting memory speed comparo's in his link, check that out before you put too much faith in memory speed. From what we've seen it has almost zero impact on benchmark performance, going from 1200 to 1600.
    Yeah i always knew i would probably end up below 1600mhz and just tuning timings, would have been nice to have another decent overclockable memory though. I've not given up yet. I can't find a review for my kit but i found some for other 1.65v kits, and the review i was reading (legit reviews kingston ram) they were scared to push past 1.65v so resorted to raising QPI instead. I'll try that.

    Found the voltage reporting tab in Easytune, though it doesn't show QPI voltage unfortunately. Seems the board is undervolting my ram by .2v, still doesn't explain why i'm having trouble though

    No one knows and the people that do i believe are not allowed to say Others will tell you one way or the other so there's little way to really know for sure

    No you don't have to watercool the NB on the extreme - i tried and it leaked. I'm not sure if you can take the thing off without taking the whole cooling mount off with it, and i have no idea about the Asus.
