As far as I know, no X79 board is RST capable. Your better off with a dedicated SSD for performance anyways. I own the Synapse, and to be honest, it is not very impressive. I have it caching for a 2x1TB RAID 0 array, and it actually...

Temps seem right, you'll get a small improvement with most TIM over time, and they Loop won't really start to shine vs closed loop systems till you start cranking up speed/voltage where it will leave them behind

Indeed how are the temps now?! No need to flame/troll, everyone makes mistakes, and Loops are not simple slap it together and go systems.

The easiest to use program I have found to get every single sensor reading is HWINFO64 http://www.hwinfo.com/download64.html

Stock temps should be pretty low, from a review I read that I cannot seem to find, they were getting 50c under load using the Intel branded closed loop system, so slightly above that makes sense for a good air cooler.

Also, What are your settings: Vcore at Load: PLL at load: VTT at load: LLC: VCCSA at load: BCLK: Multiplier: those will help in saying if 68c is within normal range I see 71c when reaaaally pushing (5.2ghz), and 64-68 or so around...

First off, don't use BF3 temps, BF3 uses drastically swinging and varied CPU loads from second to second, use Prime 95, IBT is garbage for testing SB-E, P95 is far harder to pass and doesn't put retarded useless stress levels on your CPU...

Another Happy customer: 5ghz - Check Fast RAM - Check Temps under 80c - Check Way too much Vcore - Check I'll see how long it lasts. Chip is stable up to 5.1 that I have verified so far. Check it out 1st place...

As a BD owner who runs it at 4.8, 1.5v 24/7, I can tell you it absolutely will suck an amazing amount of juice when crunching a DC project. With dual 6870 and the 8150 I pull an amazing 840w off the wall according to my KW running IBT...

Has gold wants cold! All joking aside, Mindchill you seriously are the fing man. I will do a review with pics/results on a heavily ocd 960t both in 4 core and 5 core mode when I get mine in the mail
