Holy Moly! Great!

Fantastic Nacho!

Pretty sure I'll be there. Gotta wrap up a couple details... will let you know but not much holding the trip back. I'd be really stoked to meet greet burn and freeze! If I come count on a couple OCC s and my system including the purge case. Will let you know for sure in a few days.. oh btw hailing from CALI

Doing a bunch of testing with the OCC the other day and I uploaded a bunch of progressive HWBOT Prime submissions and of course in the excitement of it all I didn't notice the CPU-z Memory tab was somehow blank. Well on the first of all of the prime submissions that day though, I think it got blocked with the others, but actually did have the mem tab. No biggie but is there a way to have leeghoofd review it again? http://hwbot.org/submission/3209564_

Sweet!

Fantastic!

very nice!

Fantastic!

Fantastic!

Right on! Nice run!

Fantastic!

Fantastic man!

Fantastic!

Thanks. Great cooling too :-) We ended up getting a new RVE - wanted the warranty and peripherals. Nice I guess for overclocking. I love being able to monitor voltages and temps etc. L&L's trusty '59 will reach higher heights soon! I'm going to gather up some other gear too. I have a R2E with a i7 960 coming and I can't wait to slap the OCC on that baby and push it!

Yeah. Thanks so much! Just barely learning settings stuff with chips and mobos. I'm sure I'll be able to achieve more soon. Kind of shooting in the dark right now though. I know for sure the only reason I can run my gear like this is because of the OCC. Someone said that a higher wattage PSU wouldn't help (I'm currently running a 80+ gold 850w). Do you think I'd be able to get better results with a higher wattage, maybe 1300w PSU?

Just downloaded and installed. It's AWESOME! I feel empowered again! This weekend was so frustrating as my xtu controls had disappeared. It was like driving without a steering wheel.

I don't think it has level up buttons, but the OC panel has a bunch of buttons... Wow I feel like an old guy trying to figure out how to use a VCR. Here's a pic of the RVE Buttons http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9278/ASUS%20X99%20RVE%20-%20OC.png

It has both!

Awesome. I'll install it right off the download and give it a freeze tonight!

Thanks! What program other than xtu can I raise frequency? The sliders have been greyed out and xtu has been requiring a reboot to make any changes. This never happened with the asrock board. I can't find teh rog AI software either, even though I've installed it twice.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hmmm. Can you explain a little? I was told that when you're able to boot past win splash that it's usually just a voltage issue. I was able to get there several times with lockups and bsod at 5.7/5.8. I was hoping it was a voltage issue.

Well the new board made a big difference. Picked up a new RVE... how fun! But now I see that my power supply can't keep up with the voltage. Currently using 850 watt Thermaltake. Did 5630 mhz on 8 cores but think found the bottle neck of the 850w PSU and wasn't able to go much further. OCC chilled like a king though. http://hwbot.org/submission/3135682_ We'll pick up a 1300-1500w PSU in a week (any suggestions?) and really see what this chip can do. But we should have some good OCC chilled results up from our colleagues before then! . . .

OK... Finally have a new RVE arrived yesterday. Up and running good. LN2 coming today. I have a question about TIM for my RAM. A while back I had the purge hose pointed directly at the RAM. This is shooting sub-zero GN2 directly at the RAM. I figured it couldn't hurt to cool it... Well I know it froze to a reasonable sub-zero temp because the one of the heat spreaders popped off. I will certainly add some clips from other spreaders to keep the spreaders tight. But I know with the OEM TIM tape from Corsair on the RAM there will not have good heat transfer at -0 temps. My ? is RAM TIM: I have two TIM types. White Arctic Alumina (from Arctic Silver co.) and Thermal Grizzly (crazy expensive BTW - $30 for 11g). I have heard to not use metal based TIM on RAM. Is that bogus speculation? Will the Thermal Grizzly harm the ram? If so I will use the ceramic based AA.

Awesome Joe!
