I have the Sabertooth X79 and it died in a mater of a couple days, it can do the job - here's what others are using. Don't exceed 1.4v vCore, exceeding 1.5v vCore or 1.35v VCCSA are guaranteed to degrade the SB-E CPU in a matter of hours. Yeah, on the grid you can snicker at those with voltages higher because they'll never see those clocks again, they're gone for good (permanent loss of 2~3 bins).
