safe to say that a 790 is nothing like a 650

What i mean is that it seems to stop at that clock and wont go any higher no matter what you do. Which is what i had :/

Totally new NB and memory controller mate. Had it at 4.3GHz but really flaky.

The 650 was the budget board with inferior VRMs and Caps - this is a flagship £250+ board designed soley for clocking the nuts off everything

Mmmm. Mine didnt like 3.995 or whatever it was though to be fair. The cooler was only a tenner mind
