I just sold my MATX Intel P67 Board because I bought a new HAF 932 Case, so I picked up the MSI ATX board below.
Out of the box, I could not get it stable at all above 4.2GHz without pumping 1.4v+ of voltage in it. I was so frustrated as I was able to hit 4.4 @ 1.275v with my INTEL MATX board I had previous.
I played for 2-3 hours and couldn't even boot into windows at 4.4 with anything less than 1.4v.
So I hit up the MSI site and noticed there was a bios update. Installed that...
Now I am prime 95 stable for 14 hour run @ 4.4GHz with 1.29v on the same board I couldn't boot at this voltage.
Just wondering how a single bios update can change things so dramatically. I wish I was smart
