Hi Infa, I hope you are right man, and I hope that a new processor will sort out all of these issues I have been experiencing with this system...

Although, in saying that, I thought that buying a new PSU would sort the problem, and that didn't, then I thought buying another set of triple channel ram would sort the problem, and that didn't neither, so I figured buying another mobo would make all the problems dissapear, and that didn't work neither!!!

As I said, when I first put this build together, and I experienced these problems, I immediately thought that I had a bad CPU, and I RMA'd it straight away, but the problems were intermittent, and the tech's at OcUK never spent enough time testing my processor for these problems to arise, therefore they said that the CPU wasn't faulty...

I now wish that I took them up on their offer to send it straight back to have it thorougly tested, because then I wouldn't have went out and bought all this new gear!!!

But at least at the end of the day I will have two i7 rigs to play about with... I just hope that once I get a replacement CPU that I don't experience anymore problems with this system!!!


::edit::

It is really frustrating, because I can get it running stable @ 4GHz with 4GB of RAM in Dual Channel mode with only 1.214v Vcore, and the RAM running @ 1600MHz on this new mobo, I just wish that it would pickup all 6GB of RAM!!!!
