January 22, 201213 yr Author There's no marketing benefit of claiming to be able to run 2400. That's the basic functionality. Or am I missing something?
January 22, 201213 yr Intel guarantees 1333 (or so), anything above is 'not guaranteed by Intel' or, in other words, partners' marketing jobbie.
January 23, 201213 yr Intel guarantees 1333 (or so), anything above is 'not guaranteed by Intel' or, in other words, partners' marketing jobbie. X79/SBE is quad-channel 1600 supported, SB is dual-channel 1333. But you're right, anything above that is up to the manufacturer to support, used in marketing, etc
January 23, 201213 yr IMo 2400mhz shouldn't be limited or counted out, there are a lot of boards that say 2400 but can't do it easily. .

January 25, 201213 yr ASRock tell me the Extreme9 is only rated to 2400 in dual channel. I got 2133 to work in quad with a set of GSkills. Just as I finish writing about the board on the 30 BIOS. Lovely. 2133Mhz at cold start, always corrupted...and moreover need higher Vdimm 1.725V to run Quad at 9-11-10-30-214-1T....so not pretty to run daily.

February 3, 201213 yr Will try it soon. Nice to see MSI finally focus on software/bios too. Haven't got the board yet, but version "1.5-beta1" sounds alot more stable than version "0.1-beta-0,15" which has been trend for years

February 5, 201213 yr Dear.. Every guy.. My MSI x79a-gd65 test in 1.51 beta bios. This version is more stable than before any version. I think that this mobo doesn't need the trick of pll override. I can run directly 5ghz. ( 6core ). http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2233544
