Hm ya... the Extreme sure was a bit easier to OC, but maybe that is because I am already used to it and know what it likes and doesn't like.
I fear I have a bad mount on the i7, as I am already reading positive load temps beyond 1,45V Vcore, which shouldn't be the case at -33C evap load temp.

One other thing I noticed with a glee of joy: DFI obviously didn't change PWM and NB mounting hole dimensions. I compared it to my X38 and it seems as though the Mips PWM freezer still fits the Volterras (78mm straight line hole distance) as well as my generic NB block (NB is 62-63mm not sure any more). I stuck to stock cooling for now because I wanted to see if it's maybe sufficient, but I guess I'll be mounting the waterblocks soon enough.

Now off to test the 21x mult.
