@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!!!!

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.

RIVE has too damn many, so I set most of them to auto :

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

Overclocking gives me a headache.

Wifes gonna be home all week so i can't stay here and work on this setup. I am sooo bummed out right now.

On top of all that i can't find shit for a MSI GPU. I know i'm not alone. By the time i can get something the competition will be near the end and i'll have shit for time to work on anything. ARRRRGGGHHHH

Sorry i'm venting...... i needed to get that out.

OK,
After updating drivers (last ones loaded are the USB AM something) it will boot to the cursor and keep on blinking? Even tried a fresh install same thing happened .

If you are not at default clocks and volts, set everything to default. This board is real touchy.

BTW, your new avatar is obscene and disgusting (solely because that's not MY lap she's on ). Please remove it and send me an 8 x 10 glossy :
