THis board costs 400-600$ in europe some places. Ive seen ppl doing 260BCLK on this board, thats a GOOD result.
I mean anyone doing UNDER 230BCLK on this board is PATHETIC.

Ive read through some 5-10pages at the moment this thread and most of it is bollocks, does noone know how to overclock anymore?
Im paffeled, whats happened to this forum... no one overclocks, all i can see is that u guys have big pockets full of money, buy expensive stuff to run them at default speeds... ffs

Im sorry if I hurt someone now...
Most arent doing what you would consider good because the board combined with bloomfield for many=fail at anything over 215-220bclk without the use of slowmode. Higher bclk for most users I have seen requires slowmode to be enabled, which for a 24/7 rig and any 3D sucks. People still post about how great it is but everytime I read to catch up on whats going on in the thread I leave thinking "WTF am I missing, why are they still praising this pathetic board"? Im not knocking anyone that has 4500stable, thats a very good 24/7 oc by anyones standard but I would give more credit to the chip and the guy clocking it than to this board. That can be accomplished on many lower priced boards.
