I just did the same thing you're doing about a month ago. If you look at amazon right now they've got a 1700x with messed up packaging for $260 and a deepcool gammax 400 fan for $14. That's what I have and it works great with an overclock to 3.8GHz on all 8 cores. It chews through just about...

vapour 2. No, I have not done stability testing - mostly because I didn't know what programs to use. I will try the ones you recommended this evening. I did do the UserBenchmark test, which is a very basic snapshot of system performance. It's not a true benchmark, but it seems capable of...

SR - 71 I suspected that was the case. Maybe future motherboard updates will help, though I've found through research that they were supposed to have most of the bugs worked out. Oh well. The strange thing is that I accidentally set my timings to 14-14-14-14-34 for a while and I didn't...
