You gotta feel it out a lot with this motherboard that is for sure, that is it takes some effort but, it is worth it once you unleash it's power and get all your settings set. . I just now settled at 485 x 8.5 because I am on air right now, and that is about all my Thermalright Extreme can really handle TBH. I have already begun piecing together what I will be purchasing, then I can have some more fun. I say get the board, I did.
