i'm not having great luck with sandy's CPU, so, when i saw this stuff on sale in a local online shop i tought: why not ?
last weekend i had a long LN2 session but due to moisture and other issues i cannot managed to push this setup to its limit.
so, today i went to the LN2 dealer and refilled the dewar, go back home, had lunch and then start clocking.
config:

this MSI isn't a fast mobo, so i spent most of my time trying to get a good CPUZ validate.
after a lot of hours and effort i got a good 6960 MHz.

after than this, with the latest litres of LN2, i did a Pifast.
with this not so efficient board i'm quite satisfied, 17.08 doesn't looks so bad.
CPU mch looks quite crappy and BIOS doesn't like Hyper ICs based RAM, i have to try with a different memory.

these results are for my friend Guglielmo and for the whole HwProject team.
