Oh what fun!

OCM :thumbsup:

what is that thing that's to the left of the cpu socket with heatsink on top of it and the black little square that's north of the cpu socket there is 3 of them on the commando
cuz they run stupidly hot!
like BURN HAND HOT!

and i was clocking in side so that's a stupid thing to do it too!
didn't have a reeally good cooling

no fans?

at first i didn't remember to put fan on it and i actually burned my hand on it
and then i added fans and then the temp was lowered a little but the board it self like the top of the board was like still REALLY hot! like the top part of the the board, north of the cpu socket and that little square little things...

now i am actually kinda scared of clocking the board now!

and the 631 chip is like clocking it around 5.8~5.9Ghz with only minimum thermal compound on it and around -50C

i think at one point in time the baord was not starting up because those square little fuckers are just too damn hot or something idk....
i monna clock a little 631 more sometime next week before i go to mexico rofl!

learning dirty spanlish or spanglish right now rofl
it's hard!



oh one last thing tonight before i pass my self out ...
my 970 just DON'T heat up!
running super pi 32 at stock but only peak 40C on one of the core, and most of them are around 35s

try hyperpi :D

enzotech sells small heatsinks ....

Are you talking about the VRMs? (located between the CPU socket and the IO ports.

Keeping those cool (not sub zero), will help with stability. Keeping hte Chipset cool helps all the way around. And subzero should be okay with that. I also poured a little LN2 here and there when I was doing it :)

i think i may have some of it somewhere in the house... it's by zalman :thumbsup:




yeah VRMs!
yeah i just end up pouring ln2 on the board lol!

not advisable ...if you don't have some insulation...

did i mention v...oh wait....i might get tagged ...

lol
me no the smart one hera!

btw i am thinking about building a new 1366 setup right now cuz i have like a extra 960 and a 920 that i just use it for benching what board should i get if i jus wanna bench don't really care for performance?
i really like my 762 but idk if i should get another 762 or what?
i am just looking on ebay right now...

and also if on the board there is like one bent pin will asus rma that board for me?

just tell them...you received the board with a bent pin....they'll rma it.

as for a regular board... benching not minding performance? this is silly.. bench with performance always.

classy x58..is always good
r3e is good too
ud5 rev2 is good
