What additional tweaks have been added?

JJ, how are you liking that Triton 88? I've been looking at it but havn't seen anyone or any good reviews of it.

Craigleberry, is are you fans setup to pull air in the back and push it toward the front? I saw a very indepth review of the IFX-14, can't find it now, that messed around with fan config, low speed, high speed, and multi fan. The consensus was:

1 lower speed/non high pressure fan, place at very front. Putting in middle actually hurt temps
2 lower speed/non high pressure fans, front and middle. Any other arrangement hurt temps.
1 high speed/high pressure fan, place in middle. Is able to pull air through front array unlike other 1 fan setup.

Found it! Is what used to be digit-life: http://ixbtlabs.com/articles3/cpu/premium5-coolers-shootout-may2k9-part1-p9.html

Apparently a Moscow based site and this is the English version.

I've done over 90ºc back on stock cooler, absolute max is 100ºc I believe. However to me, stay under 80ºc, perfect is under 70ºc.

Turns out I'm blind! :cool:

Fitseries3 · Aug 18, 2009

its ok.

to me the new board looks like it has less clutter.

kinda looks like its missing something but its actually got more features.

it has sata 6gb, usb3.0, b3 x58 chip, and several other things.

max bclk is 235-250 depending on cooling now

MetalRacer · Aug 18, 2009

Awesome board man, looking forward to seeing how the new stepping performs.

Cooler is too noisy for me at maximum speed. But, after the new firmware F8 CPU temperature became ~15C no load :laugh:

, and the cooler never reaches 2100 revolutions. I installed an additional fan (1600rpm) and is now working well (in my opinion). Comfortable silence.

Settings:
HT off
CPU Vcore 1.4625V
Load Line Calibration ON
QPI/Vtt 1.495V
Case closed
