could be.

Kyle, what do you have to say as I am no where near familiar with Intel boards.

Sorry, my names not kyle but yes, the 650's are not very good at overclocking quads.....only 2 phases most of them.

I failed haha. Bluescreened roughly 3/4 of the way through 3dmark, scared the sh*t out of me (the temps) so i powered her down and im back on stock @ 1.2V, giving her a break

Ill upload that wprime score though!

3/4 of the way thru = 1st CPU test?

Wait for tonight dude (I hope it's cold near you by now

), last night was 20F's here and my temps were insane once I opened up a window... of course I was freezing my balls off.

kyle2020 · Dec 6, 2008

no biggie bro.

Kyle, are you manually setting NB and SB voltages? Try auto, they work great for me on AUTO

sounds like a great build. How good are the results that people are getting with that EVGA board?

Well as far as price, with the Phenom II coming out soon, intel will be slashing their prices soon, so i dont know what to tell you dude.

On newegg, it looks like people aren't having problems with it so I guess it's pretty good.

I'm sure it's just as good or better than the 780i/790i by EVGA. Those were awesome boards...

I heard EVGA warranty is great also??

I know that their video cards have a good warranty. You are even covered if something goes wrong while oc'ing. I'd have to look to see exactly what their terms are but i'm pretty sure they have one of the best warrantys around.

I heard at least on their boards that if something goes wrong because of overclocking, that they actually replace the board regardless.

Check these temps out, new H20 loop installed, 4Ghz @ 1.58V:

And of course windows 7

Tatty_Two · Jan 10, 2009

Very nice, now just think, with a super-duper chip (a Q9650 perhaps

) I genuinly think you could hit 4.8gig on water.......I cant do more than 4.5gig with it on air but thats at under 1.5v.

kyle2020 · Jan 10, 2009
