Re: MSI Z77-GD55 Motherboard
Holly smoking 1.6vthe temperatures using a staggering 1.6 volts remained very respectable with 81 degrees celsius as a high; this is definitely pushing the envelope and we do not recommend using such voltages to keep such higher temperatures

Re: MSI Z77-GD55 Motherboard
Its the temp at the voltage I look at, When I'm overclocking.
To me its just a number, As long as its a Cool number.
Some say though, That the higher the voltage, Even if Cool, Runs into chip degradation over time.

Its heat cycles that do more degredation.Its the temp at the voltage I look at, When I'm overclocking.

Re: MSI Z77-GD55 Motherboard
Hard to believe what it can do for a buck fifty.
Also really like the card spacing as to heat problems in the lanes.
