I also would recommend a different board.
The Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H that Gareth has already mentioned would be be a good choice.

You have chosen a board without any cooling on the VRM's, that is not a good idea with an OC'd hex core.

Dependent on your choice of heatsink you may find that the reapers are too tall.
Quite a few heatsinks will encrouch into the area above the ram slots and with the reapers having that handle on top there wont be enough clearence.

Gonna have to look at replacing the Reapers, just looking at the Mobo pic it does look like it would infringe so gonna replace them with a set of these:
Corsair XMS3 4GB http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-203-CS

I suspect thats the right speed of ram I should be looking for?
 
Have had my 1090T running 24/7 as below for the past 3 months. Cooling is custom water with max temp reaching 53 degrees after a few hours of encoding / prime.

same here. They are pretty tall rams, and not very far from the CPU slot. Obviously not a problem with a H-50. But with a big air cooler, I'd check first. Get some other ram, or go H50 if you fancy it. Very good with the 1055T.

still awesome volts for such clocks. Oh, and how do you monitor NB voltage please?

Thanks

EDIT: I can see now it's everest you're using there. I checked and I can't see the CPU/NB line in the Voltage Values section. Weird.
What version of everest do you have?

not all motherboards lets u see the NB voltage in monitor apps
 
Never had that happen here.
I would try PC Probe and see if it does the same to rule out a HWMonitor issue.
Does it stay at the higher temp after the jump for long or is it just a short spike?

just short spikes.

same with everest too.

also since i changed cases. i've been getting random freezes

I'm sure you tried this already, does it also freeze with no OC to rule that out too?
Do you still have your old mobo to test? because IIRC your board is pretty new, so if it got damaged and that could explain the freezes and the temp sensor quirks, you could still RMA it.

Hope you get this sorted out

i've turned down the ram to 1333mhz to see if thats it. tbh since i done that the temp spiking isn't happening, :confused:.

i guess i'll run it for afew days like this.
 
That is genuine.
You can see that it is a run on LN2 (Extreme Cooling)
Cooled down enough phenoms can hit 6GHZ+

Check out Xtremesystems.org, lots of benchers hang out there including chew.
