LOL the sad part is, I read the manual TWICE and swore it the diagram showed the black slots being 1,3,5 (I should have known better my MSI board was the same way.
Anywho, definietly need to soak the pump and rad after I pull the loop apart. with 47F window air, I am prime 64 blending at 4200 MHZ 58-54-59-54 (60-56-60-55 with fans at 7v)
I know someone is going to say... check your mount, I will, but this CPU had that same disparity of core temperatures on air on the other board as well. So the 5C differnce is "normal" for this chip
Gave it 1.4v cuz thats how I roll, Mem at 1600 7-7-7 . Going to DL eleet and see how much more I can ask of her at 1.4
Oh not a benching PC yet, I have not reinstalled windows just plugged it in set raid in BIOS and away we go
