Your rite, that's the clock perhaps of his weak card. 1 of mine will not do over 1150 on memory.

That sucks, both of mine do almost 1300 on memory.

Mother of god... The W5580 I got is an ES CPU. Stock VID is 1.00Vcore. Stock VID on my 960 is 1.2Vcore. Both are 3.2GHz chips.

Max clock was 5050MHz on a fast cold run with 2lbs of DICE. Funnily enough, board died after the session, two days later. No idea why, but it's going back for an RMA.
 
Will post more results on the ES chip when it gets back. For now just using a Q6600 at stock lol.

 Anyone ever used Indigo Xtreme Precision Thermal Interface Kit

Never used it myself but I hear it is awesome stuff.

I am going to retire my X58 Micro to my new CNC machine that i am building.  I have been using the micro for a LONG time now as my daily stock machine. Too many waterblocks to make is making my current machine overworked & has warranted a second much better, no compromises machine.  Coming from an 11x7 work space to an 18x18 build with linear rails instead of dovetails will give me the accuracy to finally resume the Air Cooled waterblock design.
 
I just pulled out my 759 X58 out of storage, peeled all the liquid rubber off of it, spent an hour pulling the eraser out of the CPU socket pins, and installed the 950 I got from Reggiesanchez like 2 years ago and put the (sigh) stock heatsinks back on.  I missed working on the motherboard like that. 
 
I am thinking of returning the 295's back to stock configurations and actually USING them instead of the 465's that i use now. 

Stock... STOCK?!?!  But but STOCK, you can't STOCK!  :( 
Although, AWESOME, air cooled waterblock!!  Been wanting to see the project start moving again.
