Save power and love our earth, 1 hour Prime is more than enough!
My last run of prime95 failed after 4 hours !!

I'll wait for my cooling system to arrive and retest the system again trying to break this stupid 209MHz Bclk wall !!

I can't believe I payed dearly for a high end mobo that can't reach the 222 wall !

I should have stayed with my former gigabyte GA-EX58 Extreme, I was able to reach 215 on my older C0 CPU for testing with no issue!
