Those are some great results 8 Pack. Very well done, and thanks for all the hard work and info.

No problem. I want to help as many people as I can with clocking this great board.

Just bought this and Sandy 2500k, will be on stock cooler for a while, could anyone guesstimate how far I could clock it at reasonable temps?

On the stock cooler you will be looking at about 4.3GHz before temps sky rocket.

I am currently Priming my 2500K on an MVG with 4x 4GB of Samsung Green @ 5GHz / 2175MHz (10-10-10-24 1T) mem. It is being kept cool by a Noctua NH-D14.

This is a great motherboard. My only criticism's are of the very poorly designed PCI-E retention clip (which makes it almost impossible to remove a dual slot graphics card), and for some reason I cannot change the fan speed for my CPU fan.

That's a nice clock!

I have a problem, there's no slot for my networkk card, the slot is far too small, do I need to buy a new network card, and can anyone recomend one?

Yeah sure I can share some settings no problem. I am just installing Vista at the moment for some benches. I will try get some settings for Samsung on this board up after that.
