^^ hope they work for you ! I bought lower price corsair XMS3, My friend bought highest price sticks mine ran better than his. Never have figured that one out .

Yeah the GB X79's sucked. I did like their other OC boards like the Z87 OC etc.
 
In reality regardless of whether GB pushes a quality board out, you really can't go wrong with a RVE. (I know at least Hallowen commented on the thread here about it.)

Just Ordered the 5960X from Newegg, So That along with the Corsair Dominator Platinum/EVGA X99 Classified Completes what I need to build my Next New Rig to use with the Four KPE's I kept from the X79 Build!
 
We'll be gettin' it Colder Once Again Soon!
 

I have something in the works for that X99 btw.  Just based on the pictures my dark blocks look like it will fit, but either way I will know soon enough.

Well, Tomorrow is Finally the Day I start assembling My New EVGA X99 Classified Extreme Overclocking/Benching Rig.
 
I should receive the MB and 5960X and then start installing the Four KPE's, Corsair DDR4 2800 along with My Chilled Water Setup, Throw on a Fresh Install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on the SSD's and Have At It!
 
The Only other component I will need soon after is the Full Board Water Blocks that I Hope Nateman_doo can adapt to the X99 Classified MB using the already available X79 Blocks he already has  in production.
 
It's Time to give this New EVGA X99 Classified a Proper Workout to see how much abuse it can Take!

Thanks Nate, I hope there are not many changes that you have to make.

.....And Now that I have the 5960X in My Hands, It's time for the New Build to Begin!
 

It doesn't take 2 hours to install windows, we need updates!  :D

Oh ok, the food thing, I can forgive that LOL  :)
 
I am just anxious to see what you can do with it.  Best I got was 4.7 in far from ideal circumstances when I had to do other things as well.
 
Honestly, I really dig the board, if I had the disposable income to grab one and an Octo I definitely would in a heartbeat, for the time being I will have to make do with my Dark and a 4930K.

I need to make the leap and get on the same page. Like Dave said, disposable income.. I need some, lol.

Nah, I am patient, as long as I am seeing benches, im happy, I know very well its not just max it out and run it.  
As the pic is not showing for me, what were the numbers for your baseline test, and how were they compared to your X79 when it was at stock?

Here's something Different.....
 
Ran test at Lower CPU OC and Memory at 1066MHz instead of 1400MHz XMP#1 setting, But Raised OC on KPE's.
 

A Little Higher on the Graphics OC, Still at 4.6GHz CPU........
 
That's All for Now Dave, I'm Stopping a little while for Dinner!

Man, I need to send you some MRE's for benching sessions!  Tear it open, add water and according to the instructions Prop it up against "a rock or something" I'm sure there are plenty of "or something's" in a benching room
