Well as ebuyer decided 24hours later that I didn't actually get one of the cheap msi p55-gd65 boards it's not nore is it going to.
The rest of the list of bits I was going to order has now met the delete key.

I missed that before, I'm probably number 99 in his in box or simular :rolleyes:
But some chance is better than none and I'll wait for conformation before I start redrawing up the list.

i got my asus from ebuyer and one of the cheap ones from scan (hopefully) so will either sell the asus on here or try and send it back to ebuyer within the 7 days if i get the msi one quick enough.

and for once i get to have a play with new tech and try overclocking on a couple of boards.

am up to 3.7 now this seems to be very easy to hit (11.172 seconds for super pi wanna break ten seconds) will be aiming for 4ghz later and see how that goes

Re: Core i5 Overclocking how's it going

Apparently there is a pretty hard limit of 220 bclk due to the integrated PCI-E controller being coupled to the uncore clock. Hopefully the next revision of chip will uncouple it so we can limit the PCI-E speed.

thats still not a bad limit 4.4ghz on the 750 if i can get anywhere near that without cooking my chip i'll be happy.

thermaltake kandalf LCs and watercooling although dont have lga1156 mounts so cpu block is not sitting properly. my watercooling is the basic kit that comes with it and is not much better than air i use it for the noise factor

Well done 4ghz is a good 49% OC i think. I have seen some push 4.2ghz stable. How are your temps btw , under load.?
