Picked up a new chip from MicroCenter today to try on the r3e. On the older giga boards there was a problem when switching the chip from giga x58 to another brand of board, it wouldnt run right (not sure of the specific problems). Maybe a long shot but in hopes that was the problem I picked up a 930 to try, all my other chips were first run on the UD7, but it still wont go above 218bclk without using slowmode. The good news is so far its running stable at 4ghz 1.18vcore, amazing for a newer bloomfield. I hope it scales well, it is a hot running chip though.
