ASUS X99 DELUXE (Intel LGA 2011-3)

I think I'm totally fine@4.6, I wanted to find my max and then scale back a tad. I'm curious now as to whether I should go with my manual oc or the Asus 5 way oc. The latter gives the all the power saving benefits, not having to run my chip at a constant v core when it's not needed would be great.

Is 1.3 really a safe voltage?
I know adding more volts overall decreases the lifetime of a cpu but is 1.3 bad(for a lack of a better term).

1.3v isn't that bad as long as you can cool the CPU, I seems to be stable at 4.5Ghz in realbench on 1.265v which I'm happy with this is also with 3000mhz on my ram, I did run Asus 5 way but all it did for me was use the built in CPU level up it didn't even go though my CPU and test it, Also once you find the right Voltage you can enter this into the bios as an Adaptive Voltage for your turbo so it will only draw that power when on full load so it will add life to your CPU. But just make sure you test your OC as it mite feel stable and be stable in games as i found using 1.24v for 6 days with no problem and this was playing BF4 for hours on end as soon as i run realbench i got a BSOD.

Also i used 1.3v as a starting point then i started to work down but ill rather use 4.5Ghz as i can get a even lower voltage.

The vertical M.2 mounting is nice. I like that it means the drive can be changed without requiring you to remove the GPUs.

On the other hand, I question how many people will use it since it seems that, particularly with these high end boards, aesthetics is a huge concern.

Hi Cadaveca,
This is an error, this board uses 8 layers PCB. Look carefully for the no. 8th.

if there is time and will i would love to see some test with uncore on cheaper asus+other mobos above 4000mhz.
some state that its only possible on deluxe + rampage.
thanx in advance
