    question about clock speed

    thank you for the link... one other thing that might be worth mentioning is... I tried the oc genie button on my mobo once. It worked great at first, boosted me up to 3.4 ghz which was nice. and my temps on my cpu stayed below 40 c. most of the time even below 35 c. but after a few days...

    question about clock speed

    okay, i was also looking around at the overclock presets in the control center. i never applied any of them, just was looking at the settings from the presets. ( i think they only work when oc genie button is enabled on mobo) but anyway, while doing that I got my first BSOD since i build this...

    cpu throttling after liquid spill fixed.

    also, only the cpu fan and one out of three of the system fans power on the motherboard is working, so i'll probably be sending it back. at least the cpu fan works. but there are 3 total system fan 3 pin powers on the motherboard and only one works right now.
