Comment:
First off The board is solid when you get it runningive had a ivy 3770k u 4.8ghz for about a month. it was challenging for me to overclock though in their new bios i had to upgrade the bios in order to be able to switch to the previous style more similar to asus / gb / asrock bios styles. some of the terminology is different though so it can still be a challenge. you need to watch that the bios doesnt change other settings while your adjusting clocks aswell. once i figured it out its been rock solid on the cpu section. onto ram . overclocking ram i ran into many issues but it might relate more to the black momba 2133 mhz sticks i bought to use on this setup. basically the sub timings dont change properly with the clock rates changed on the ram its not using or picking up sub timing profiles that work. so i had to set them all manually a few issues with that being intel uses some different terminology there aswell so that can be daunting if you dont know what to do. fortunately i had some reference material and got the sticks to finally boot.all in all the board is solid in its own right once you figure out how to set bios up with the terminology intel uses. i would will be trying different ram in this setup in the future to see if its a actual board issue or ram issue.intel sent me this board and cpu to test. sofar i can say i recommend it but only if you know your way around pcs and can figure out terminology. if you want something to oc on that has how to instructions go with asus or gb.
