changing from the dark to a R4BE since my 3930k handles 2666mhz ram and the Dark doesn't.. going to se if the IMC is capable of 2800 mhz maybe o.O


I'm not sure I follow this??  Why do you think the Dark doesn't support 2666MHz ram, but the ASUS board does??
 
In this thread is a pic of the Dark running over 2600MHz ram.  >>  http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2376
 


Max option in the bios is 2400 with the bclk at 100 and the specs of the dark says " max supported 32 gb 2400 mhz " but the asus can do over 3000 mhz and supports up to 128 gb ram ( in the latest beta bios ) and has the option to do so with 100 bclk. The cpu doesn't like high bclk so my option is 125 bclk or 100 otherwise it will crash at some point. So thats why I'm changing to the R4BE and also newer bluetooth + onboard Asus wifi AC card.
I will post some pictures when it's all done, cus this 3930k has a killer IMC 

PS. There is also some personal dislikes with the dark I can't get over with I want evga to be as good as they were back in the x58 days with motherboards but the x79 wasn't..
