Kenkickr's Crosshair III Formula Review

Looks too good to be true!
 
Added Bios menu pics and some more Installed pics. Didn't get to Benchmarking cause I OC'd a little and having OCCT running for stability and my girlfriend wanted to play with her new Creative Zen MP3 player. Will hopefully get benchmarks posted tonight, depending on weather since it's raining here, and when I get home.
 
Having some issues with the system guys so trying to determine what piece of hardware is the problem. OCCT and Prime95 keep reporting an error on either core 0 or 1 even at stock settings. Memory passed 3 passes of Memtest86 @ default settings and @ 1600 8-8-8-20-40 setting so I'm thinking it's a proc issue.

Sorry to hear that mate, hope you get it sorted
 
I had the Crosshair II for a while and it was pretty nice. I hope the prob is something simple.
(tubing/wiring looks really nice)
 
The girlfriend wants to watch some House first then I get to finally play some MLB2k9. After that I'll be craping benchmarks out!:laugh:

You play MLB2k9 on your PC? or Console?

Can't wait for the benchies.:toast:
 
Ken, does that board come with the Q Shield? I hope so cuz I will be getting one hopefully in the next two months.

At that price it better.
 
welcome to crosshair club :)

yes :)

and the boards price is lower because its amd + amd (incentive) no other reason and its low compared to other rogs. Its VERY fast/stable + 200 over MA for me anyway. comes with all the rog stuff. The page should answer most those qs above

happy OCing ken!!!!

Yes, the board does come with the Q-shield. The only thing I wish they would have added in the packaging is some crossfire cables but since most ATI cards come with one it's not a big deal. I am workiing on benchmarks and plain on getting ALL of them put up tomorrow night. Benchmarks are being ran with my 24-7 settings.

He says , with his shiney new Crosshair III sitting inside his case ;):laugh:
 
What can I say...I'm broke now:( I tried to get some benchies(Sandra CPU and Mem, Kribi, Cinebench, and PCMark Vantage) but ran out of time since the neighbor upstairs can't drive his car yet and wanted me to run by the bank for him. I'll post some tonight and have all of them up by tomorrow night. Oh yeah, I beat the Cardinals 6-1 last night CDdude if interested.
 
Sweet. That Q-Shield is the best thing ever included in a Mobo. Im not too hassled by the Crossfire Connector, shit I have like 3 or 4 of them here from my cards :). Cannot wait until I get mine.
