    Should be something up any day now. I did not have the best CPU's from Intel to test, the 965's I recieved were 4.6GHz capable at best. Which is not such a bad thing as I guess it's closer to what the retails for the masses do. Interestingly enough, the 920 I purchased OEM was the best of the bunch - even cold.

    Thus far, it's been a dependable performer. A lot more robust than anything else out there right now. Which means if you're pushing stuff to the max, it has a better chance of lasting where some of the lesser engineered boards tend to keel over after a while (like Fet's popping under high current when pushing sub zero). It's the most cold friendly board I've benched on this platform.

    There's no QPI wall, there's just too low voltages!
