whoops you're right

 

forgot this:

to drill out the rivets

 

and one of these to put new rivets in:

now you're ready

[R1P5AW]

Do I get those when I get on the folding top 20 list???

[sdy284]

i'm sure they're available at your local home improvement store

 

that way you don't have to wait

[cirro]

what ver of the p6t do u have? v1 or v2? it might be a memory issue (if so bios update fixable)

[R1P5AW]

Its the v1. I'm good now just getting everything configured so I can get to overclocking!

[ccokeman]

I have that same board and it rocks.

Yeah I'm loving it. It's my first ASUS board and it does ROCK!

[R1P5AW]

At 4GHz now and stress testing..

Well after a couple BSoDs I had to up the Vcore to 1.30. Prime 95 is going on 2 hours and all is fine (I'll keep testing)

 

 

Also, running Eyefinity in gaming I wanted to up performance so I pulled the trigger on an ASUS 5870. Should be coming soon

You should throw 10-15 passes of Intel Burn Test at it as well. That'll REALLY stress your setup and honestly, if you can pass both, you're pretty darn rock solid. I used to use primarily Prime95/OCCT but I've since moved to using both Prime and IBT. Gives me that extra confidence in my overclock, although admittedly I did have to pump a little more voltage into the chip to get it stable through both. But if it's gonna be stable through 10-15 rounds of IBT, chances are it's gonna pass 12-24 hours of Prime95. Just my two cents.

That's a great recommendation-thanks!

 

I never really messed around with IBT but just threw 10 rounds at 16 threads and passed-Looks like I'm stable at 4.0GHz!

 

 

 

EDIT: And to just clarify, I do not OC through TurboV but have it open to display settings

Looks like you've got a pretty decent chip there. Congrats on the new setup! I've considered stepping up to an i7 but since I'm joining the USAF at the end of the year just decided to wait and build one once I get through with training and get my posting. No telling what goodies will be available then!

 

All in all, nice rig, my friend. Rock on.
