Used this and others to get started tonight. Never one to jump on Rev A Hardware, I waited for the kinks to get washed out and got it panned out bit more than usual this time through. So Son No. 3's build is completed after several days effort, cable sleeving and fitting / routing cables was 'work" but "fun work". Now onto the overclocking. Hoping to take advantage of the efforts of all those who swam these waters before me. Suggestions welcome and appreciated; I have got about 4-5 hours into to BIOS editing and OOCT testing and wanna be in position to hand over to the my drooling son in time to play before the weekend is out.
Here's where I am so far .... prolly will format crappy as THG don't do spreadsheet posts well. Don't quite have the hang of this offset thing and don't wanna use fixed voltage as would like to chill that down under low loads:

The settings above worked up to 4.7 Ghz .... below are the temps and voltages at 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 ... at 4.8 I BSOD'd and it was 3 am so went to bed .... hope to find some snippets of wisdom in morning
