you sure its not a gap?
but just to be sure... try it with only 2 sticks of RAM.

im going to take the system home on monday! i had enough of this lol.
i want that thing 3.6 stable. i locked up on a super intensive render and
it corrupted my file because it was in between the saving process and
rendering process. i tend to kill systems, i have more then 3 3dsmaxs
running at the same time all doing different kinda of batch renderings
some times even with several different standalone renders... while modeling
and OCNing

someone please tell me NB getting alittle warm wont effect stability too much
HIGH OC is always nice but i really need a performance and stable system. cant
have this thing crash on me all the time, i would get fired :/

too bad you didnt get the watercooled edition maximus...

i know i wish they still had the SE when i made the purchase

the maximus really does benefit from lower NB temps... stability wise. so you could get some thermalrights for your chipsets and mosfets if you have the money. perhaps a WB for the NB.

The SE waterblock is a POS, from what I read. Most people have swapped it out, and it looks like the regular edition still has a removable NB HS. Evil, what is your NB volts?

I have an issue: I'm trying to do some RAM benches, but I can't tighten CR to 1T. It POSTs just fine when I set it to 1T, but all my benching software says it's at 2T! WTH?

^^ run a bandwidth test to see if the setting actually changed or not...1t should reflect some higher bandwidth scores.

No. It hasn't changed. It stays at 2T, even if I put 1T in BIOS.

what do you like so much about that thing... its expensive, and i would rather get a Thermalright. or a WB, for that price.
