Moderate OC suggestion

Here´s a moderate OC suggestion that I have so you can get started.

400 9 3,6GHz 1600 777 21 Strong tRD5 (this one is a real sweet spot when use bus 400 and ram @ 1600, if you want know why, read this post)

Tested with BIOS 1202, Q9650, 2x2 OCZ Platinum LV PC3-12800 (1600C7) and GTX 285.

If people run different BIOS, cpu and/or ram configuration some volt values have to be alter.

People in this thread that run other configurations can give suggestion to what changes has to be done.

I have told him on numerous occasions, that he makes it mighty hard for anyone to play catch-up.

I may be getting this board. the Maximus Extreme is such a tempermental board. i constantly have issues with it. Mainly the RAM. I hope that the Rampage Extreme is better.

I am curious to see how easy the tweak-it controls are to access with 2 gpus installed.

Rob, you are one lucky man. Now get that watercooling system built.

EDIT: that is a very nice looking board.

Next on the list. I particularly like the fact that the swiftech water block will fit on the NB without any modifications
