K confused...
9950? ugly yellow (not ugly orange yellow) slots mean DFI... means you gotta cool that chipset bro. excessively... dunno why DFI runs hot hot hot (cuz AMD as rule does not)

Curious about your 920 x4 there though. I got mine to 4.44 not prime stable or nothing (3.9-4.1 benchable IIRC) I think by your sig you are running a nVidia chipset? this ain't 939 son Get a 790 chipset on it and let it sing!

Seriously, best purchase I made lately was Foxconn A79A-S got it for 105 from newegg... board is a PITA but worth it... the rule is $100 new for AMD boards. Unless you are BE clocking. My expensive M4A79 Deluxe sucked for clocking my 920 (3.8 I think I hit too unstable for CPUz) but my Foxconn couldnt handle my BE chip like it could either...

2 tenements of AMD mobo buying....

Never spend more than $100 for a non BE chip motherboard.

Never get an ASUS unless you are BE clocking.

Granted the rules are kinda... well you HAVE to spend more than $100 on an ASUS mobo... but there you have it.
