Isn't it cute
I messed around with the board a bit on my beat up 860...and by beat up, I mean it was dead and I managed to resurrect it with some surgery. I was impressed with how well this little board OC'd even on that banged up proc, but I picked up a Core i5 655K on the way home from work today and dropped it in on the single stage for the first boot.
I didn't pull the validations (higher than these) off the HDD I was using, so these are just screens that I took for the time being. It will do 280+ BCLK with HT on too.
Maybe even more impressive is still huge BCLK with 5.5GHz QPI. 5500 is the cap for QPI so far. When I dropped the QPI multi, BCLK kept going. I'm hoping for more on DI or LN2 and/or maybe even break the 300BCLK barrier at some point
I'll post more as I continue playing with it, but wanted to post these impressive initial results up in the meantime
