    Re: Motherboard Choice ???

    Second Box is Rebuilt but it's DOA right now, all the fans are working but nothing comes up on the screen. Tried 2 different video cards but nothing, they were a GTX480 & a HD5870, going to try a GTX570 after I eat, I read in the reviews of the motherboard it doesn't want to recognize older cards so maybe a 570 will work. The 1'st build I had a 570 in it soooooooo it's worth a try, if that doesn't work i'll try different Memory. If that doesn't work I'll swap the Motherboard tomorrow, if that works I'll have to ship the Board in it now back to Newegg & hope I get a good one back ...

    I just used the Overclock Genie that comes with the Board, CoreTemp said it was still running at the Stock 3.5GHZ Speed while RealTemp said it was running at 4.2GHZ. The on board overclocking software isn't noted for it's reliability so I may have to try manually OC'ing it after I read up a little how other guys are Overclocking the Board with the 3770k ...
