ASUS P8P67 Pro/Evo/Deluxe OC discussion thread

[Nano2k]

I have the Noctua NH-D14 and there is no way the Vengeance RAM is going to fit with the useless heatsinks on. I say useless because I actually took mine apart and most of the chips are not even in contact with the heatsink pad. The glue is really crappy and comes of the actual pad material very easily, only a little bit of the glue came off on the edge of certain chips. Besides the mechanism that retains both halves of the RAM heatsinks is not really holding anything together. I don't know what the official theory is but I would not be surprised that the RAM is better cooled without the heatsinks than with them on.

I have the exact same problem- can't get into windows at 46x or above-unfortunately, clearing CMOS and enabling internal PLL didn't remedy the problem. I think I've hit a multi wall at 45x with my 2600k (although I haven't tried more than 1.475 vcore). I can also run 4.5ghz (45*100) prime stable for 12 hrs with core temps peaking in high 60's, but it requires 1.39xx vcore. Anything less throws errors or bluescreens.

Are you sure your power supply is up to the task, I had to change mine (700W), also I had to up the other voltages not just the CPU core.
