For games, all that FSB won't make any difference, and why stress the board? Mobo is much more likely to die early than CPU.
If you don't care about CnQ, I'd just try to make 20x200 stable and not have wierd HT/CPU-NB frequencies.

That didnt take long
...I'll prime test it tonight.However I noticed after rotating my cooler my temps are a bit higher, even at idle. Im thinking I may have botched the thermal paste application. Might re-do that before I prime test more.





















but I got the same model and it's working fine now. Actually this system is going to be my linux server once v get the 4170 in India. the 960t will go back to my old asus mobo.
