Ok here goes. Got all the bugs worked out I think, and turning it back down to 4.3 for gaming, just in time to get back up to speed in my game of choice lol. Going to play Warcraft, do some raiding; haven't had a chance to play in a year. I did find the spot at which it was stable and clocked at 4.8g but for me it was way to much heat and voltage. Benchmarking temps where very high (78 to 83c) and had to push it to 1.476 volt's. Besides, I didn't build this one just for speed, it's a 24-7 gamer in surround at 7680 by 1440 while in 4/way sli. No real reason to push cpu or cards due to a 115 frame buffer or ceiling built into the surround, so it does all I could have asked for, and then some. Here's what I could do buy pushing the rig for the big benchmarks: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8259116  and  http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/11141951   In full gaming mode 24-7 type setup with 4/way surround sli at 7680 by 1440 I got:  http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/11141941 .
