New Intel i7 3930K

[mikeysg]

When I'd first gotten my 3960X, I was amazed at its performance, blew away my X9650 @3.8ghz. The UEFI BIOS was pretty new to me too, never seen one where you can use your mouse before. When I'd first tinkered with AI Suite II, I clicked on CPU Level Up and chose 4.25ghz....restarted and my CPU was cruising @4.25ghz, just like that! I'd left it alone since because, honestly, even at stock speed, this CPU performs incredibly fast. With my AC on (ambient temp's about 25C, it idles at 25C with load temp not exceeding 40C I believe). The X79 chipset is amazing, isn't it? Feature rich and user friendly...and as you've said, OCing is idiot proof. I chose the Rampage IV Extreme because I'm an Asus man, and wanted to try an ROG board once....from now on, I'd be buying an ROG board whenever I upgrade.

BTW, Un4, welcome to the LGA2011 club, where all the cool dudes hang out.....pffft to all those LGA1155 users! Buncha Plebians! *ducks for cover*
