It's EVGA he has nothing but good to say about them. lol The real problem is... getting a cpu with a good imc that can clock. Very rare.

No doubt about it on both counts . . . . . :laughing:

Looking at IB-E, Not sure MSI will have a BIOS update for the gd65 :ohcrap:

Their has not been a BIOS update in forever and while it is a nice overclocking board it simply can not do the advertised 2400 on the stix :shock:

Not sure why it has so much trouble with memory speed. The settings are there and loosened up timings that could work at 3000 on Haswell platform

I did get the 3930K it to bench at 5.1 though ....... :thumbsup:

but after that it is like hitting a brick wall no matter what I do

Yea 5.1 was the wall on that setup. I never really tried to get anything out of the memory, so I don't have a clue.
