I think the guys who are running 1600 memory are able to reach higher base clock speeds up to around 260 but I am only aware of one other guy with the same CPU chips as mine that has done that. But buying 16 sticks of high speed memory with tighter timings for that extra boost in speed is a big expense and I am well pleased with what I was able to achieve with the memory I had

So not its not a limitation of the board, but CPU wise they have limits to how high you can push the volts and those limits are hard coded into the chips, so with mine 1.050V is the highest they will go, but I'm running the overclock at one step lower 1.0375V so there is a little headroom left on the CPUs probably.

I', guessing that at around the 1v level, your rooms not getting too hot. How does this compare THERMALLY vs the SR-2?

We've had lots of close up progress pic type things, but no finished pics? Dude! Get a proper photoshoot done!

 

[Biffa]

Heh ok I'll try and get some shots, its just that its not in a very photogenic location

Biffa, you awesome person of awesomeness (I don't want anything I swear!) but... where are those pictures..? This has been sitting in my sub box and my bookmarks for some time haha

It looks amazing though. Would love to own hardware like this. Oh the things I could do with it.

So beasty. Gotta get some pictures of the final set up

 

[Bax]

That is beasty. Nice job, would take me a long while to get my head around that.

Awesome build mate, keep thinking about a 4p rig but I've just built an EP-Xeon rig so not got any money to go 4p route at the moment

What sort of Bigadv/beta PPD are you getting on this beast then?
