Very nicely done. However, I do worry about the 126250 volts you are applying to the cpu. :laugh:

:roll: I missed that one.

I'm still wondering how he pulled off only 1.26250v for uncore with 12gb of memory at almost 1600mhz. What kind of timings are you running? Very nice though.

Well to be honest I don't 100% understand much about memory timings so I left all that on automatic. 9-9-9-24 is what the BIOS is telling me. I know OCZ Gold ram can do 8-8-8-24 but as of yet I don't know what those numbers coraspond to in the BIOS options so thats how it is for now. I do know the ram is getting 1.5v
