You can overclock both the RAM and CPU at the same time. You can not use the automatic OC of both at the same time. Asus tech support sucks and are clueless. I have not had much experience with my 975 on the R2E however my 965 was good with that board for moderate OC's up to around 4.7 - 4.8 for 3d benching on LN2 and Dice. I never discovered what setting would really make the board kick. From reviewing HWBOT scores it seems my board performed on par with the rest. QPI/DRAM is the same as CPU Vtt on the classy. Have you rried running that around 1.525 - 1.575 for high base clocks?

Any tips, tricks, or suggestions ( I'm leaning towards selling it right now  )
ASUS techs have told me you can overclock the proc OR the ram, but not both and that seems to be the case... which ummm.. kinda sucks.. bigtime!!!!
Any thoughts would be appreciated  |
