Yeah, but we can't use sub zero for 24/7. I'm going to try my luck on air.

I haven't had a chance to try this MB yet, but after seeing some good results, I have good hunch/hopes about getting pretty good BCLK with this MB (with the same CPU, and the cooling that we deadly poeple use).

You missed my point entirely.
Just about any i7 will do over 222BCLK with the right mobo and cooling. Batch has very little to do with it.

Someone with air or water can easily test BCLK by lowering the multi, uping the PCIe and volts. This is an indication of what the board is capable of, then the people who have sub zero can decide if the BCLK goes high enough to get the board.

Running 230BCLK for 24/7 with air is by no means practicle, and never said it was. But for sub zero users, BCLK means a lot, and with the right cooling, can run 21+ multi at 230+.

I don't get your point, sorry.

I don't get your point, sorry.

all he's saying is that it would be helpful for those of us with sub-zero cooling who are trying to determine whether or not to purchase this board if people who already have this board would try and achieve the highest possible bclk and post the results. the reason for this is when you venture into those higher bclk's heat obviously becomes an issue for those of us on air or water and the higher bclk's with a high multiplier would really only be of value to users with sub-zero cooling...

...or maybe I don't get his point either.

LOL, oh ... you think so ?.
But he is talking about much more ... as far as i don't get it .. also about "Batch has very little to do with it" and it seams that you didn't get the point with this part either, or do you?

I thought I made it clear that I have air-cooling and looking for 24/7 stability. But higher BCLK is not just for sub zero people. My own CPU runs with less Vcore with x19 multi, and 230x19 would be a much better option than 219x20 for my 24/7 use. I know this is true at least for me (my CPU-batch# got much to do with it). So you see that ability to hit a higher 24/7 BCLK is good option for us deadly people on earth too.

I believe everybody would appreciate to hit higher 24/7 stable BCLK on a MB, because it will always give several options to play with for 24/7 use. It is not something that only you sub zero folk (up there) would appreciate.
