Build Log, I had it custome modded by a great guy named Mark. http://forums.techpowerup.com/showth...=74303&page=11



Stepping: CACVC AC 0849EPAW I have booted to Vista at just under 4Ghz, and stable at 3.88 as the highest I have gone without extreme volts. This board has a large vdroop and thus I am slightly limited in what I can do without a hardware mod. I run F@H SMP, and GPU 24/7 stable now at 3.81 and I going to start pushing it back up every day untill it wither bombs out witha BSOD, or the F@H SMP clinet freaks. The USB controller doesn't like to be set at "Full speed" in the BIOS, it must be set at "High Speed" or else you get USBOHCI BSOD at the worst times.
