Well had a little fun afternoon today. Dentlord stopped by and we were testing a couple of my 530's out on my MSI P55-GD80 on AIR. Damnedest thing we had ever seen was going on. I knew one of the chips was dynamite as it overclocked like a champ on my Gigabyte GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3 Mini ITX mobo but for some reason we couldn't get either chip to clock for shit on the MSI. One wouldn't do over 205 BCLK (4.51ghz) and the other wouldn't do over 210 BCLK (4.62ghz). We tried everything in our power but it just wasn't happening. I knew the mobo could clock well as it overclocks my 750 Lynnfield like a champ. Something about the Clarkie's it doesn't like. So I took the dynamite chip out and popped it in the Gigabyte. Mind you Dentlord was laughing and couldn't believe the size of the mobo. Kept referring to it as a bathroom tile, lol but I kept swearing by the little mobo that could. In the end we pulled this off on AIR. Room temps were roughly 76-77 degrees. 5ghz on AIR any o day feels good. Can't wait to get this chip chilly.
