Damn day late and a dollar short lol. I am guessing it was hurt because now the mobo doesn't do a thing lol. Going to RMA it next week.

So I realized there was no point in RMA'ing this thing. They would just do the same thing I just did with the heat sink. That was straighten it out, clean up the old TIM, put some new TIM on and replace. Then they would have tested it and said all better. So that is what I did hope it holds...

Well if I where you, I think I would flash your bios back to what it was and see how it runs. You sound like an experienced overclocker so I am sure you went through and reset settings and all of that so no point going through all of that. I know nothing about Foxconn boards and that is the...

I suggested this board to my buddy and he has been very happy with it. ASRock A780GXE Not sure what you are looking for all together. From what I get just a good board for an everyday computer. So there is my pick :) Good luck with the hunt.

The motherboard is an ASRock x58Extreme. After I got the system stable enough to load an OS and after the OS was loaded I decided that it was best that I shut the system down till I confirmed the problem. The stock Heatsink is easily fixed just a little tweak and it sits flat. I am just...

Looks good. One question did you order 3 of 2gx3? if so just send 2 of the sets back. I do not know anything about the board but it is AM3 and people love ASUS. As far as the PSU, you will be able to do what ever your heart desires with it great choice (okay maybe exaggerating a touch but...

Well like it says heat sink came badly installed. I should have caught it but I did not (this mistake will not be made again). I have a bunch of pictures that I will link. The short story here is I could not even get this thing to run long enough to mess around in BIOS. After many hours of...

This presents an interesting position here. For those that have the notion that a larger buss and smaller multiplier are better.....with turbo enabled it very well could be. Just something to think about something I will be doing :) Cheers

Hmmm...... Interesting question here. I will put this on my list of things to do with the 750 I have. From the overclocking I have done I have not experienced any stability issues at say a 165 bus which would be the absolute extreme you could over clock the PCIe from what info you guys are...

I know of these tests. Which I have used quite often. The only variation I have used with these is running F@H at the same time. Okay this will show how new I am too all of this. rts? NVM google is your friend Real-time Strategy. fps? I assume first person shooter. and yes! how...

I am far from knowledgeable about the subject of 3d rendering and such but what I have caught from this very debate is that the Hyperthreading of the 920 will make it superior for this. I could be totally off here I am just passing on info I have glazed over. Scratch all I said...

Question for you guys and gals out there. As I am a semi rookie overclocker are there any stress tests or benchmarks you would like to see?

Thanks and love the sig that is great. So......this thing is running so good now that the LS5 has set in and I am sure everything has had a nice burn in this past week......I just don't think I can put the lid on this thing contrary to what I have said. Soooooo back to tweaking like always...

I think he said Scythe Ninja2. He mentions it on page 1 or 2 when ever it was he joined in on the thread. And update. I have been running Prime95 for atleast 6 hours with out a hickup running low to mid 60's for temps I am very happy. Running at my above specs ran out of time for testing...

Hello All, Just a little update. Which will never be as informative as Gaidin ;). By the way Gaidin how are you reading your wattage at the wall? And no I am not using CPUID's Tmonitor will have to check it out. First of I have to say the Core i5 machine is much snappier than my...
