Default Tunning up 965XE for 24/7 use

Finally have my main rig all sorted out after the big crash.

Turns out it was an SSD that was going out in the Raid. That makes 3 MTRON PRO's that have gone out, out of 9 total, so after a bit over a year its a 30% failure rate :( Good thing is they have a 5 year warranty for replacement.

So the main rig is now setup on the Dimas Tech bench table.

Core I7 965XE
EVGA Classified
2x EVGA 9800gx2's
6gb of Dom 1600 RAM
7x 32gb MTRON PRO SSD's with ARC-1231ML controller
Jinu SS Phase
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

In pre testing this chip on LN2 I was able to hit 5.0ghz and could prolly go just a bit higher, but no real reason to as HWBOT is to loaded with ES chips and cherrys to make any OC attempt worth while.

I settled with 4.5ghz OC on LN2 at SS Phase temps and setup the rig.

It runs great and supper fast with the Raid

I did end up backing the OC down to 4.2ghz for better stability but I feel I can get this back up to 4.4ghz or 4.5ghz stbale for 24/7 so looking for input on the OC if you guys have any

Here is a screem of the current settings
