Is there more to it then setting 50x and having decent cooling?
(I need more time at home to play with x79 ...)

I don't know about the other boards, but the RIVE has so many BIOS options it gives e a headache

Splave, do you have subtimings for the GTX3?

OK,
@Duke/Splave, So for quad channel(four DIMS) you use the black DIMMS on the RIVE? I thought the book said use the red one's?

I got my old mount from the X58 (water block) and it lines up with the holes on the MB, but the threads are different. How do you get around this? Just put it all together.........
The CPU TIM I assume you use a little more as the CPU is so much bigger???
Feel like a noob!!
Thanks guys!!!!

I don't know about the Asus board. We are talking about the MSI board for MOA competition.

Use the red channels for the RIVE

If you got the RIVE new, there is a 1366 backplate in the box. Just swap out the back plate and your waterblock works. Otherwise, you need 4mm screws to thread the native 2011

it take a bit more if you are running 2400+ mem and 125 strap

The gd65 doesnt have a ton of bios options which is great! must auto set things properly because it was fairly easy and quick.
