@ thread starter, you need to manually give a stable VCore value to your CPU even at stock speeds as auto volts given by the mobo tend to be a lot higher than what's actually needed. After that, you can make it an offset value and you...

People that think that Tjmax is the max 'safe temp' that a CPU can take and not giving a crap even if it hits that high, EPIC face palm to you guys. It's like knowing the redline of a civic starts at 8K RPM and that running it at 7K the...

In AsRock, Extreme 4 and Extreme 6 are both great boards for the price. Then gigabyte has their UD3H.

Yea you have an F-1 cooler, can't seem much wrong with it apart from the fact that it hits the redline (10K RPM) at startup, which I think is more of a motherboard thing.

Yes you can use a 3770, but just not the 'K' variant as your motherboard doesn't support it: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=547#cpu You can get the 3770T or 3770S and update your motherboard to the latest...
