9950 ds4h multiplier limit

That's it guys. Reached the top limit of the multiplier. Tried 15,5 but a few seconds under prime95 were enough for a glorious blue screen :roll:
So, now comes the voltage part. I am not sure if I will move on to it atm. Maybe when I get m y watercooling block I might or not...:ohwell: Need to make up my mind soon :nutkick:
And a quick question. My temps are steady at 52-53 under full cpu utilization. Are they considered safe for production temps?

Thnx one more :toast:

So Asus never sent back your 79-T I take it or is the DFI a waiting board?

Say Full did you try the new 703 BIOS yet,I am and it runs just like the 403 more stable with ACC on.
