Holy I'm an idiot. I was thinking those were numbered options. I need to lay off the drugs. Thanks.

So you are comfortable running that high a vcore 24/7? What might your load temps be like?

Ummm, it was my 24/7 clocks but since adding a fan controller, another GTC 260, OCZ 6 gb RAM with 7-7-7-24 1600 timings and 2 UK 120MM 3000rpm fans on the TRUE my system became unstable . Temps at tha were 71-73c and Intel list 67.9c so a little over when LinX was 100 CPU load. I was comfortable with this. Right now I am running 3.8 with 1.22 vcore until a new PSU.

EDIT: I don't know if there are any official EVGA x58 board threads, but feel free to discuss anything related to the combination you like. Problems, settings etc.

We should make this the evgaX58 overclock thread. There is an i7 one but should have a dedicated evgaX58 one..

Just passed 20X linx using 1.375 vcore @4014 so I may keep this. I have to run out to the store but will be back later to post screenies...

+1 for this thread.

Bump for new owner's of this board and any new discussion about it!
