Nice review Kevin thumbup.gif, Asus ROG Mobo always is the best choice for overclockers...I wish I could lay a hand on this again. Last I use Asus ROG Mobo was RIIE sad.gif

Btw, what is current MYS market price for this mobo? I dont see it in your review.

Thanks Kevin,

Once completed my build, definitely will share my OC results here but it may take some time as I'm still looking for a good case for WC which is not too costly.
If not mistaken, our proc's warranty will be void if we're using the liquid pro right? due to the way to apply it to procs..pls correct me if I'm wrong.

btw, here's some pics.. Sorry about the quality blush.gif

Nice score Kevin, 23k! shocking.gif I'll put mine later but with 2x7970 and 3770k@4.7 only. Anyway I dont know why earlier batch of HD7970 can be pushed up to 1300MHz+ core but most of the newer batches 7970s couldnt even past 1260MHz core even when cooled by WC..how sad sad.gif.

Kevin, just sell one of your 7970 to me la hehe, I'm currently looking for one brows.gif

Gotta do with bad vdroop on bios bro. Some manufacturers might have BIOS with too low load vCore.
My 7970's were initially unstable at 1300 but after flashing to MSI special bios they overclock great now.

Downloaded it, but why the BIOS size only 64kB rather than 128kB as usual BIOS size for 7970? Is it safe for flashing? weird..

Bios size is not the problem.
I am using it now, it is working great.
There's always a chance to backflash to original bios and dual bios switch is there for a reason.

Ok thanks bro, will try it now and its time for OC session smile.gif.
