Should have 5 coming with a new board next week....

Hopefully I submitted my result correctly ... they changed the rules once already.

6860 not too shabby :)

Not to shabby, shhhhhhht. Pretty dang nice if ya ask me! :thumbsup:

damn whats the secret with these, my 2nd one only hit 6.5ghz booooo

I tried like hell last night ... kept hitting 6840-6860 and just couldn't squeeze any more.

I did get a badass backup for the qpi contest though :)

lol any special settings thats epic, good chip

Nothing special, just 35x, 2v, and blast 'er lol

They extended the contest till the 30th though, not good for me, I need a quick end before someone hits 7ghz

Raise your PCIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
