this mobo really got many OC option compare to DS3... have to spend time to tweak with it
nvm, my father's rig put at my housetown
I would recommend go for Tower 120... I bought this S1283 last time because I did not notice that there is another bulk selling Tower 120... If I know it, sure I will go for Tower 120

additional info:this E6550 is based L726B batch, retail unit. and the ram is based D9GMH chipset. NB changed to NC-U6 and the S1283 installed at vertical position, original fan come with S1283 running at full speed, ~2100rpm
vcore reading:
bios set | bios reading | cpu-z reading (idle/load) | SG reading (idle/load)
1.38v | 1.38v | 1.376v/1.376v | 1.37v/1.37v
vdimm reading:
bios set | bios reading | SG reading (idle/load)
2.2v | 2.2v | 2.19v/2.17v

Nice mobo. Not much vdrop/vdroop at all.
For my P35-DS3, bios set 1.425, orthos load cpuz vcore 1.360v

I believe tower 120 is perform better than s1283... btw, it is at normal room temperature, no air-cond, side panel closed.
FYI, at first, I installed the s1283 horizontally because if at vertical position, it will crash with the NB heatsink. but the temperature damn high, 66~68'c during full load.
I'm using xigmatek S1283 too. You temperature is weird. How come so high?
For my E6750 using orthos (small FFT), at 3.5Ghz at 1.425v (bios), 1.36v (cpu-z load) - core temp 0.95.4 shows 59-60'c only......
