Mine was unstable until I stuck la little fan on the Mosfets right above the CPU. I had mentioned this a couple of times but I think no one believed me :P.

could always do a little reseating

btw sig shows what this did out of the box with only a few tweaks.

I'm pretty sure I can get to 4800 on water ..the problem is won't be as easy as this lol..

So I doubt ill go for it..not worth the headach3

Your sig result is with an air hs?

I should probably correct my last statement for the record... 8.5 multi did run at lower temps but for some reason it ran hotter on one particular run

I'm gonna get the board out and go over it with a fine-toothed comb. I'm trying to think of some better solution to mosfet cooling, but without a decent number of fan headers (and no room for a drive-bay fan controller), I could get stuck unless I go for some thermalright sinks, or if I go for some waterblocks I just found. Bit risky if the board is flaky though...

Probably just because your reference settings are off a little CPU or MCH. If your settings are off some times it will run hotter then it really should and it is kind of a rare thing to witness, for me it has been far and between.. Usually if my CPU Ref is off by being one step to high is when it happens actually I think.

The board isn't flaky I think the Mosfets that they used were not really the best choice chip wise but your board is probably fine.
