Been busy lately got about 60% of the cleaning done on my pc only thing that got discoloured is the heat sink and the northbridge the pipes got like a black glossy effect to it no matter what I did to clean it it just won't come off but it not effecting the temperature in anyway

Awesome! Always a relief to have even small amounts of good fortune after enduring some misfortune.

Yeah it been a roller coaster with the pc and everything in between. Still have to take the board out to inspect it for any sort of corrosion along with power supply as I see abit like rust effect on the buttons and other ports. The exterior of the case is good with minor blemish on top like abit of water stain. Ended up breaking the front 200mm fan the same fin that I broke a couple of months ago I had to plastic weld it back together with abit of white plastic bag to add abit of strength which I melted and reshaped it with a fine tip soldering iron. Since I used to hear the case making funny noises and the wobble effect. It quieten down a good bit after I fixed that. Might be slight out of balance on the repaired fin but as long it pushing air into the case that all I care about :)
 
I added more ram to my X79 Rig...found 2x8Gb Mushkin blackline memory for decent price so now I have 52Gb in total....it's not that I really need it...It's just feel more comfortable :D .....

So dual channel mode then?

No.....memory working totally fine in quad channel........all 8 slots are occupied 6x8gb and 2x2gb....

Maybe a bit odd speed and timings but working just fine this is because bclk OC so I need to do manual timings and tweaking....
According to Passmark 10 overall score it's a bit better then 64Gb DDR4 2133Mhz.....

Well...the rest of the memory benchmarks and other tests are more or less identical as I have before.....as I didn't change speeds or timings I just add more ram.....

Won't do a R23 run fully, but does R15 and CPUz fine. Weird.

O sure it is....I was doing similar things also on X58 with triple channel....never have the issue....'tho memory timings are the key they should be identical on all sticks....even this sometimes is not the "law" and could work if you manually tweak the ram......

WoW.....Nice is it stable for every day work....or just for benchmarking?

4.6 is stable for daily. Trying to see how far I can bench it. Chips are cheap so I'm not worried if it burns out.

Seems like you win a lottery with that CPU.....real "GOLDEN" sample right there........4.6Mhz on X58 is awesome!!!
 
Well, gonna maybe push more voltage and clocks. 86c at 1.5v I have some headroom still.

Not really.
That's why it won't finish R23. Too hot.
 
At least I put up two photos of it :) You can see the discoloration on the heat pipes and the screws along with my repaired fin (I know it looks ugly but it don't matter to me :) ) As well my index finger that nearly got chopped off is looking alot better in the fan picture

Great board there :toast: I also have a P6X58D-E on my X58 system. In overall, it's one of my favourite boards I've ever used.

Yes fully stable 24/7 @4.6Ghz with 1.335Vcore (it can do with 1.325 but 1.335 is rock solid). If you see the 1650 CB R15 score was made at 4.7Ghz but with more voltage (i think 1.375V - last year with a BeQuiet Pure Loop 240mm and worst airflow because of the Case) but now i can do the same and a little bit better numbers @4.6Ghz because of the better cooling (Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 - Corsair 7000D Airflow) . Max temps at stress test is 57 Celsius :p

And yes... my new toy for the Sabertooth X79 just arrived... :rockout:

Nice.......seems like you really won silicon lottery with that 1680 V2.....I am eager to see how far you will be able to push via BCLK that 2697 V2....consider anything above 107 as Good and above 110 is Great.......
