Dunno....Some ppl have had them fry in the board at *cough* stock settings.

no, it's the chips that fry the board, not the other way around ;p

and yeah, you'd know if you were having the problem because the MAXIMUM stability I achieved ever (it was at stock) was 30 minutes orthos stable.

in fact, I was unable to update windows to SP2 because I was getting RAM errors while using the windows update site, which caused it to be unable to continue updating my system--the site just kept coming up with an error.

Weird, I have the Plat rev 2. and haven't had any problems at all, cept i can't get 3.2 stable, it shuts off sometimes at full load, but thats just not enough vcore but i need better cooling to try n up the voltage anymore

Pookster- 7600GT FTW! Nice job.
What program is that system tweaks thing, I've seen it before (had it before?) but don't remember how or what it was with.

As far as the Plat OCZ... at least some of you have them working. Maybe it was just a bad batch, I think for every person saying its bad there is one saying good. So I'd just assume it's a bad set that may need recalling?

Ravin- before you get a warning from an admin or whatever - you need to edit your sig. I got a warning from Transonic (damnit... first one ever on ANY forum!)
Your sig has to be a max of 8 lines down. You are @ 12!

Exhinilo (probably mispelled the crap outta that one...)

Your PM box is FULL, clear it out lol...

Just curious about you guys using a sound card. What PCI port are you using? I know some people have issues with putting a sound card in certain PCI slots on some boards.

Got my Silverstone DA750 yesterday, what a huge PSU. And the Firestix got here today.

I was really close to RMAing my board for a while there...
Accidentally had my LDT multi at 8x instead of 5x. Couldn't POST past 450FSB.

But anyway.

RMAing my RAM, so I'll be on my 3000+ rig for a while. Saving up for a Commando or a 680i, so I won't be having my 650i board for long, either, though.

In all honesty, if someone would give me $800 for my rig, I'd do it in a heartbeat. So many things I want different...

I want G. Skill HZs...RAM can't do past 950Mhz...
I want a E6400...higher multi.
I want a Commando...

Congrats on the sticky.

Chances are by the time I pick one of these up, most of you will have moved on to bigger and badder things.
