Still tinkering... Currently 1.056v @ 3.4ghz. There doesn't seem to have been any temp drop between 1.080v and 1.056v. Perhaps i've hit the...
This is old news now, given that Sandybridge has been out for 12 months. But i'm impressed, anyway! Built my 2500k machine the other day,...
Thanks for all the help, chaps. Just a little update for future reference - Everything fits just fine! The memory slot closest to the CPU...
Thank you very much for the info! That's the first time i've heard that... I'll have a good look when they get here. Buy yourself a pint, from me....
OK, i've checked the Motherboard manual on the Gigabyte website. The memory slots to use are numbers 1 and 3 (working from right-to-left). So the...
