It's those QX chips man.......they scramble my brain!!!!

For sure....I am so happy that I did not buy one.....hard to believe how much juice they need.
 
Check this out when you have time. I post this....not to be bragging in any way but, rather to show you the versatililty I have experienced with 790i, my plain Q9650 and Patriot RAM. This was something I did when I was bored and needed something to do. Take note of the vcore's. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=598716 

Thankx, man. I hope "she" runs for many years to come.

Yeah.....the word probably spread like wildfire that those stix are working on the 790i's. I believe they will get restocked on them. It doesn't say deactivated or discontinued.

Well, I have no idea about that....my only hands-on experience with OC'ing has been with my current 790i Ultra rig. Old man with an old system but, it's still running like a dream and plenty fast enough to handle everything that I want it to do.
 
Due to the summer heat...here is the template settings I am currently running rock-solid stable on with all 8GB's of RAM installed:

You made a typo. That's 1.34v (set in the BIOS) for 4.14GHz...FYI, actual CPU core voltage in Windows with the VDroop is 1.304v.
 
Yeah....IMHO, the QX chips do not live up to all the hype and sure are not worth the $$.

Oh...thank you.....I noticed I had received another +1 but, had no idea who did it because no comment was left there......thankx, again.
 
Ya gonna put your rigs on there?? When/if you do...I will certainly return the favor.

You can certainly use the trial version....for both Vantage and Mark 11.....that's what I did. You just have to make your score public on their site and then copy the link and paste it into the spot for it on the MR page.

Thats a relief! i didnt want to spend 30 more dollars on my computer!

Yeah....I'm not real big into benchmarking.....I couldn't care less about those numbers.......so, I wasn't about to pay for those programs as, I would rarely use them.
 
Well, man........I appear to be all caught up with the folks I have been helping for now so........the rest of tonight.....I SHALL GAME!!!! Cya later, have a good one.
