    Nice work

    Out of curiosity, what is a safe speed for the NB long term, aka, for heavy workstation usage...

    Probably 2600-2800MHz, depending on voltage, I assume.

    Like richierich said, I'd worry more about V's and temps than clocks. I just keep going up slowly until I see diminishing returns from the voltage.

    Personally, I wouldn't go over 1.325 for 24/7. My chip has very minimal returns after 1.3 anyway.
    Maybe with cold I could go higher but with my settup it just isn't worth the extra heat...

    its just not the most popular choice for the price, i think that most people are going crosshair or gigabyte. i would not get a another expensive msi board affter the gd70 790fx

    also my 2677.9MHz NB clock is not on the list with my post

    sovereignty68 as zanzabar said, most people are going the CF IV.

    I've got the GD70, and i find it to be quite good.

    Also chews has stated that it's a lil lax in performance per clock, but is able to push higher clocks due to the lack in PPC.



    I'm still yet to really push the motherboard but with 350+HT i think it's right up there with the CFIV though.... *shrugs*

    Question

    just a quick question..if you had to choose between the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H or the 790XTA-UD4 which would be better for getting to 4.0???

    I assuming the UD4 because of the 10 phases, but I've seen some of you get to 4.0 on the 890GPA....


    just checking before I buy...

    I'm gonna upgrade to a Crosshair/GD70 later, but for now my local store has these two Gigabyte models in stock... and I kind of am used to the Ultra-Durable 3 interface...

    Thanks
