I had the same though about the color.It does sort of grow on you though, like a pimple. I have 6 total in two rigs.
Noctua doesn't take kindly to disparaging remarks about their colors either. LOL.
Yes, I was going to say don't call them and suggest a color change. But, I look at it like anyone who knows computers can look at it and they know what they are. Kind of like driving down the street and seeing a Rolls Royce. It looks strange compared to other cars, but everyone recognizes what it is.
I've come to appreciate the colrs. As was said, it's also become sort of a status symbol...but instead of just flash, there is substance. A Guy
Thanks for the welcome. Still workin on 4.4. Needs alot of judicious tweaks, not sure how to get it stable just yet. Right now i am just bumping the multi and cpu v, currently at 21x and 1.468 volts. light adjustments to dram v and cpu nb v as well. My board does not seem to like fsb (HT clock) adjustments all that well.
I have tried at 240 x 17.5 for 4.2G, not stable at all. Think the board is holding me back a bit. (Possibly a weak CPU?) Current settings; CPU NB@ 2600, CPUNB V @1.3v, FSB @ 200, HT @2000, RAM @ 1600, 8,8,8,24,30,1T, CPUv @ 1.468, CPU multi @ 21x, C&Q enabled = 4.2 Ghz stable 24/7/365. I have tried higher without C&Q, unstable. Still workin on it though.
