well i have just bought my new rig mobo,cpu,ram from ocuk. came at just over £670. I bought the UD7, 24 phase power, no jumping around on multi stays at the same clock fantastic board. Best 1155 to get as reviewers say = )

NathWraith - im not anti ocuk mate, im still putting plenty of money into the piggy bank for you guys and yeah i was stupid sorry for that.

I am using release 1.7

Flash it by downloading the zip and unzip it on the root of a USB memory stick, then in the BIOS select M-Flash insert the USB stick and select update BIOS from file. Then select the USB drive and you should see the update file, double click and it will start updating.
Click to expand...

Where did you get 1.7, MSI site is only showing 1.6?
 
+1 for the GD65. Great board love it.

Only downside is only one USB header on the board so could only connect 2 of 4 front panel USB slots. Although when there are 14 usb rear sockets...
 
The only thing I don't like about the GD65, so far, is that it doesn't give me much useful information on startup. I like to see my processor speed just to check the overclock is still in place. My E8400's Gigabyte (965P-DS3) has always had an annoying habit of randomly resetting to default, especially after a reboot from Windows, or when the wind's blowing in a certain direction. So I have grown used to keeping an eye on the BIOS messages.

Still, although I have so far failed to find my way to 4.6GHz with my 2500k, 4.4 seems rock solid, and none of the various overclocks I've tried have caused the board to misbehave really badly. Failed attempts always result in a simple flashing cursor on exiting the BIOS, requiring a reboot. But all the successful ones (ie anything below 4.5) have always gone to Windows without a complaint, and rebooted without showing any of the misbehaviour I was accustomed to.

So perhaps I no longer need to see the CPU speed after all. And there's always CPU-Z if I get paranoid enough. :-)

That's my delivery just been

Asus deluxe looks good GOD the i7 2600k box
Is tiny compared to the i7 1366

Off to start build and will let you know if I hit any issues
 
Just finished my build - only had problems with my CPU cooler first not fitting on the mobo because of the mounting plate - easily fixed with a dremel and a cutting disk. Not happy with it - with a full stress test running the CPU goes to 70C which is not good at all. Idle it sits at 35C which doesn't seem too bad... I'm wondering if the Mobo is showing a mass of voltage through the CPU to bring it up to the 4.5 OC...

Everything else seems pretty solid.

The setup is as follows:

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz
Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz Dual Channel
Titan Fenrir Evo CPU Cooler

I'd have to say that I am dissappointed with the Fenrir - quite an average outcome for me anyway... 70C is well over comfort limits...
 
as it stands:

asus its a keeper - 30
asus not keeper - 3

so 6/36 arent happy with asus... 17% that is quite high... almost one in five...

glad i went for msi :p
 
MSI P67A-C45 - bought as an experiment for 'bang for buck' purposes as i only use 1 GPU - and so far i've been very impressed (only ever bought ASUS in the past and then moved onto Gigabyte due to awful experiences with Asus rma)

The only downside is the Mickey Mouse UEFI - i loathe it.
 
I'm using a P8P67 with an i5 2500k, aside from the double boot (which was solved by disabling the Marvell SATA port), it's been fine. :)
