I think I got everything squared away and ppd are looking much better. Hopefully I can squeeze a little more ppd out of the dedicated, and I'm going to try to push the ram in the dedicated to 2100 Mhz. I'll have at least a week to play around with it before the start of next month
Just though of something, I know every chip is different, but Is overclocking on an asus board much different then overclocking on my msi board in my sig rig? Its pretty easy on the MSI board. Say for starters can I pretty much just put in the values from my sig rig that I use for a 4.8 ghz clock into the new rig and tweak from there?

I actually prefer overclocking on an Asus board myself but I think it's just what I'm used to. Granted this is going off of the P55 platform but I know it was a lot easier to mess around in the Asus bios then it was on my current MSI board in the sig rig. The RAM timings specifically were a bit hard to find since there are at least 2 different tabs that could house the timings control. I'm not sure if it's just that this MSI board just has more features with the buttons and what not but the Asus board did make things a lot easier to figure out. I know the first time I messed around with overclocking I got my i5 650 up to 4.6 in no time.
