O.K. That means I will have to set the Vcore manually so the DVID will be grayed out (isn't active).
What do ya think how much VCore am I supposed to fire on? 1.31V is enough for 4.6 GHz.

1.4v id stay under.


OC Nub- nice job there! you totally beat me

hey yea those Intel boards have some issues, did you get tired of your rampage or something? lol.

^^ I wanted to build a 24/7 rig. Need to start using a seperate rig for benching, and this was the only x79 board the local shop had. After a bios flash memory still reads wrong in cpuz, but everything else seems to be working fine.

After a couple days playing with it, I actually like the board, even for over clocking. It does 5ghz on less vcore than the R4E, I was half tempted to put the R4E in the 24/7 and use this for benching, but I havent been able to clock quite as high with it yet.

How much voltage (Vcc) did ya need for 5 Ghz?
