Nice one! You have to let us know your cpu batch and best overclock to see if there's a correlation. Mine was 314 I think. But I'm away doing my sim check for work so I can't play till Friday night

Where do you find the batch number?

On the CPU. The 3 is unimportant that's the Country of Origin ie Malay. The 14 is the important number tells us manufacturing week.

I will take a look on Friday morning at 2am when I swap my z87 msi gd65 for the gigabyte z87oc

Just waiting on my GPU to arrive before I start my build!

 

[james_2k]

Cool. So what batch CPU?

 

[delpy8]

Hi guys

Can someone confirm if the maximus VI runs two pci lanes @16 or just one as manual is not very clear

Cheers

 

[PhysicsMan94]

[delpy8]

5 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8 or x8/x16/x8 or x8/x16/x8/x8) *

It says in the specs at asus that it is 8X/8X.
