[Dude]

Maybe below 1.6 without LN2.

1.6 was my limit

 

[Dude]

Lot of volts guys, I have only tried 1.5 ish. I think it was 1.55 when I took out that motherboard a while back. Never over 1.4 again for me.

Yeah Doug the thing is you need that much to get over the hump

I achieved 5.2 GHZ off my board and bios alone in order to beat N00BERG00BER i had to hit 1.64 i could of went to 5.4 ghz off that but wasn't trying to mess around i was already sweating a meltdown lol

 

[Dude]

I hear you. 5.4 was my goal but I'm not willing to push it right now. This bad boy is running like a champ now @4.8. No more big runs for me, just fast and stable. I'm loving the W8.1 upgrade but coretemp does not work with it

Dude, no guts, no glory.

Dude, no guts, no glory.

I agree but I really don't think I will get any higher if I tried. While I can not hit my goal of 5.4, I can boot up to 5.2 straight from bios which is fun. Being able to run 4.8 stable is a big plus. I started a while back and when I moved to 8.1 it is still rock solid stable even plays BF4 with no issues. The game even plays better now performance wise.

One day I will build another rig and go for it, but for now I am done pushing this one.

Then again, I'm just being careful, might get the itch and go for it again

Does the Performance Tuning Protection come with overclocking chips? Or do you pay extra for it?

 

[Dude]

Not sure on that mate, have a read here

:ar:Performance protection plan

No, it is more like an expanded warranty, nothing more, and applies to specific chips only. See Dude's link for the full info.

 

[Dude]

Here is a link to the chips and price

Ya, you don`t want to become the next member on the burn it up leader board

OMG, Asus sent me back the same board I sent to them, I just knew they would do that.

They probably put 1 stick of memory in and said, hey this board works fine, and shipped it out.

I am now attempting to set up another RMA.

Not good mate

 

[AddRAM]

Now they are gonna do a stock check to see if they have a Sabertooth on hand. Then they charge me for the new board until they get my defective board. Ugh

In the end I`ll probably get screwed out of a $244 Sabertooth not to mention the shipping charges I`ve paid and will probably have to pay

Tell em if they ain't got that one in stock you want an ROG board that is more expensive than the Sabertooth. I expect if you complain enough or tell them you are upset then they should pay all the shipping costs.
