lol. I have the rig on a mobo box and its doing better, I honestly think my issue was the heatsink stressing the board due to its weight. I'll keep you guys posted.

If its hard to get the crossbar on, then the mount is off and will stress the mobo. The backplate posts should slide a lil into the mobo holes.

they do, and the crossbar is in perfectly. Just the weight I guess.

Chicken Patty 11-05-2009 12:18 PM

haha, that's awesome rogue. How you like the performance. What temps you getting and what is your setup?

Rogue210 11-05-2009 08:06 PM

So far i haven't tried anything with yet.....maybe this weekend....:good:

Chicken Patty 11-06-2009 05:47 AM

Ok, keep me posted. I jut di some w primes yesterday with push and pull scythe 110 cfm'ers. 4650mhz @ 1.517v temps barely broke 80 Celsius. :)

Chicken Patty 11-09-2009 01:43 PM

Now that the issues are sorted out with the rig. Going to do some more testing.

here is what I got from my daily 4Ghz setting and beyond. The 3rd picture shows the actual temps. For some reason they hold steady at around 57-58șc on the hottest core and for split second they jump. I think it's just a glitch with the temp. sensor on the board I guess.
