yes i know what you are saying, the X58A boards have the mod done to them out of the factory. Its not a BIOS mod, its a voltage modification, it is on Xtremesystems forums, EX58-UD5 thread, deep in there.

Regarding the missing file I was referring to was the “BIOS Settings Posting Template Text File†that is linked to file den. That one probably expired or something? I was able to work around that though.

Experimenting with some lower voltages in the non-auto voltage mode and it looks very promising. So yes the Auto mode was helpful to get up and running, and now thanks to alancsalt pointing out that easy tune shows you the actuals, and thanks to NoGuru for pointing out that auto volts are usually way too extreme; I was able to start experimenting with cranking them down so I have even more headroom heat-wise.

What I noticed is I can go much much lower with both the CPU and QPI/VTT which is fantastic!

Still need to do more stability testing so I will wait until I have rock solid benching before I will do my final submission. Out of town for a week but will update to the spreadsheet ASAP..

Benching wise, I can run the intelburn @ max for the 5 runs and a-ok. Then prime 95 for at least an hour and fine, but beyond that in prime I get blue screens.. So thinking maybe it's just heat and sent off for a better radiator fan.

Noticed TonyGrunt @ 4.4 on air using a 4000rpm 120mm fan, (which I never knew existed), but new egg no longer stocks them. What I did find is a 3000 rpm fan, the Scythe "ULTRA KAZE", only $ 12 @ the egg, so ordered one of those hoping I can use a zalman speed controller and simply crank it up when benching or rendering audio or video, midway for everyday use, and low for silence when recording audio.

Hopefully this insures everything lasts long and stays rock solid. Scythe also makes a 3500rpm 120mm model, but figured the 3000@133cfm should be plenty.
Also noticed a descent list of blue screen reference codes here in case anyone hasn’t noticed.

Almost tempted to RMA this Cool it eco and go with the corsair H50, now that I know the corsair model is supposedly much more efficient and only a few dollars more. Didn't do enough research ahead of time.
However, the nice thing about the eco is it has separate power inputs for the pump and the fan- With the corsair would have to do a solder mod and separate them to go with a different fan.

I have two Ultra Kaze 120X38mm fans on my setup for air testing. Very load at full RPM's but you can turn them down no problem with a good fan controller.
