crt, bro for 3.4 ghz I needed alot more volts than that. I wouldn't be scared adding voltage, I ran 1.55v-1.6v without even thinking about it, however temps never exceeded the 40's. With your temps, I think you should stop where you are bro. seriously. You've done a heck of a job already as it is!

bro use fusion and setup a manual profile. edit it so that you dont use any amd boost or gpu features. just hard drive acceleration only, and then of course disable the rest of the stuff towards the bottom part.

Does that HD acceleration make any difference? And what does it do? I used it in the beginning, but when my WD crapped out, I stopped using that. Just in case it did something to my WD.

Sorry to hijack this thread if i am, but low and behold my Antec 120 Tricool LED (79 CFM) has a motor failure after 3 years operating, Lucky i had a Thermaltake 120 from my big typhoon cooler lying around, but i am now looking for a Good Replacement fan for my CPU

Dude after pricing, i wouldnt want to put watercooling on it immediately due to the fact of leaks, even when it is setup properly, talk about catastrophe and a sudden loss of additional money to replace fried equipement.

Well i was thinking of another approach, I noticed that with Ambient Air Temps, My current system temps are way low (Chipset is still pretty high tho) 26 C for the CPU and 30 C for the chipset (no fan or good heatsink for the chipset), Only reason for that is my Room is Cold.

I was thinking of a Mini AC setup with 2 Ducts attached to the system (Input/Output during summer i don't have to worry about the PC going up in flames when main AC is off)

About the Motherboard, it does have the better connectivity Options ive seen, I heard its a Decent overclocker aswell with only Gigabyte ahead by a Few MHz, I will never have more than 2 Video cards in my machine so that means the other PCI E slots will be used for Raid/NetworkAdditional Expansion Cards.

same here i only use a 1 gpu solution card IE 4870x2
but the main focus is overclocking the heck out of it
plus it looks soooo coool better then my current Foxconn A79A-S

thus the water cooling solution


Most reviews are giving the board high ratings then other boards

Probably the Main Reason, It throws everything but the kitchen sink at you, and 2 the Color Scheme of it means serious business, TBH it looks more like a Abit **Pro-E/XE board than any MSI board ive seen before, not even the Diamond/Platinum are that serious looking. Lanparty DK seems to be what the Infinity boards are now, (Yet to see a LP UT/LT 790FX DDR3 part)

Asus I will never Touch due to negative instance with them (PITA to configure get working with a Videocard even after the video card was RMAd once, moved to MSI/ DFI and worked like a Charm out of the box)

Power Supply Toughpower 1000w / Coolmaster 650w
Software All of them
Probably the Main Reason, It throws everything but the kitchen sink at you, and 2 the Color Scheme of it means serious business, TBH it looks more like a Abit **Pro-E/XE board than any MSI board ive seen before, not even the Diamond/Platinum are that serious looking. Lanparty DK seems to be what the Infinity boards are now, (Yet to see a LP UT/LT 790FX DDR3 part)

Asus I will never Touch due to negative instance with them (PITA to configure get working with a Videocard even after the video card was RMAd once, moved to MSI/ DFI and worked like a Charm out of the box)

i hear you
i have had 2 4870x2 before this one
the first was a visiontek from bestbuy.com it was DOA so i returned it and got the Diamond XOC and that one gave me artifacts as soon as i put it in so i rma that one to newegg and got this one back i think i got a reqular version of the card in an XOC box i have sent countless emails to them and still no respones just emailed newegg today to see if i can swap it with something of equal value since the stop making the XOC version

NO MORE DIAMOND for me bad customer service
