Just going to back up Blackbird, it's wonderful and looks cool too. Granted the Crosshair or new AsRock board "...Killer..." the name fully eludes me, will be the best. While this board is perfectly fine right below the high price boards.

Thanks so much! I got a H100i and made a few case mods as per another post on this forum. You are right, the h80 would have fit, but I'm for speed over looks lol. But thank you! I hit 5.52Ghz but stability is not there, i get lower GPU scores on this frequency with Cinnebench even though CPU...

Something similar happened to me, you might have selected an "Auto-Tune" type option. Before I manually overclocked my computer I used the "One-Click Boost Mode" for a while and decided to wait for a new CPU cooler; so I clicked back to the normal mode. However, when I did this and then ran...
