Apparently the new boards are being released now, with the ASUS available on the 8th. Prices haven't moved that much, oddly.

e; ugh, no P8P67 Pro's available :~(

Blur filter? Thats what my CRT is for :smug:

But seriously, just built my Asrock Pro3 + 2500K. It does 4.4Ghz at 1.31V, which I'll use for 24/7. Not too shabby, but I'm still jealous of those getting 4.5-4.6 at 1.3

I can hold 4.5 @ 1.3v for about a day before it 0x124's. I'm pretty sure speedstep is loving with it, though. Put it to 1.31 and seeing how that goes :v

The performance of my system seems to be degrading or something... it keeps freezing while playing Bad Company 2. Now I'm running at everything being stock speeds, and it seems to be stable, but what is this poo poo?

I'm running memtest to see if there's a problem there, but I'm not really sure what to try next.

I noticed there's a new BIOS update from gigabyte, so I'll try that too.

Is this during a) when bombs are armed and b) when people type in chat? BC2 has some problems that only some people get involving these two things and freezing, no fix :(
