Thanks to TiTON for helping with the pot and FUGGER for help and stuff
Also thanks to MSI for some great products that I have had the pleasure to use and they are growing on me a lot
Hours on hours of DICE benching and learning my board… my uncore seems to top out at 4900… I got like 50lbs of Dry Ice for $10 USD and spent 6 hours then slept and did 4.5 hours so great use of $10 eh? :p: I mainly learned the board by trial and error – the chip is good for 4.6-4.7 on decent water…
First – Big thing – I had to use 1.51 CPU-Z instead of 1.52 as the newer version drops multis as I increase bclk – anything over 5 bclk… so to show actual speed I needed either cpu-tweaker or 1.51 CPU-Z
