September 23, 201510 yr The LN2 OC guide links to command center. FPT link is disabled: "https://goo.gl/GJGlXD – this goo.gl shortlink has been disabled.

September 23, 201510 yr Author Perfect timing! Will bench my first session with this board tomorrow Thank you for the guide. Such guides are invaluable! I got board quite late so it took me some time to release it and it's not totally finished yet, I will update it as fast as possible. Basic primary timings for Samsung IC probably tomorrow.

September 25, 201510 yr Author Thanks mate! v1.2 with Samsung IC basic primaries is done, need to upload it but now it's time for Friday night party!
September 30, 201510 yr Author OC Guide updated to v1.2. Updated Hynix MFR timings (good for up to 3466) and added Samsung ones.
October 3, 201510 yr Pepiinorang, are you soldering onto the ST/ST V6 read points before coating the board for cold?
October 3, 201510 yr Author Pepiinorang, are you soldering onto the ST/ST V6 read points before coating the board for cold? I use Vaseline You could do it if you wish but I never needed much on ES CPUs and values set in BIOS are correct (just remind it show 0.25v lower in Command Center Lite). I can do 6.3G Cinebench R15 on my best two 6700K with CPU ST/ST V6 Auto and ln2 mode on (1.25v). I tried up to 1.8v but it didn't do any difference above 1.32v.
