    0878! I like it because it's very strong with memory (though my memory isn't strong).

    The biggest help with the BCLK was a PCI card and a PCI-E speed of 135MHz.

    At 116 PCI-E, I was stuck at 254 BCLK, 118 PCI-E I got to 257.

    I believe I maxed out the chip this time around before PCI-E came into play.



    EDIT:

    And here is why I HATE this board.



    Sweet score, right? What happens if you raise the BCLK?



    It murders the score. This is the biggest POS 3D board in existence if you have to push 3D clocks. The two screenies were done with the same BIOS and all the same multipliers (with the exception of the IMC, I dropped one multi lower on the 221 BCLK run). Sorry I forgot to open the memory tab on the second one, but it gets the point across.

    I spent $400 on this board, I had no idea that meant I might be lucky enough to have a board that is okay for pushing BCLK without slow mode enabled.

    Is this a valid reason to RMA? Do I have a chance at getting a better board?
