Here's what she looks like :P


With two works of art designed by ROG


And my overall Setup



Sorry if its all a bit packed in but i found it easier this way


Temps got a little high for my liking but what can i expect stress testing for an hour on air cooling
also if anyone happens to be flipping through my BIOS settings and has any tips that could help me improve my OC then i would be very appreciative!

Thanks ROG forum,
RyaZ

EDIT: sorry for the below picture being repeated, im not quite sure what iv done wrong
also just so you know im not that vain that i have my online name as my wallpaper i just couldn't find anything else XD

[Mason@ASUS]

@MrRyaz- Looks good man. I can't find anything I would change. Nice temps too

[The-Seabigbear]

Trying to get to 5Ghz but don't know if I can!

[Zka17]

The-Seabigbear, for 24/7 use I would leave it as it is now... for running certain benchmarks, you could push a little bit more but your temps are getting close to the safe max border...

I know it, in fact I'm thinking of going down to 4.4 just to keep my temps & Vcore down!

[Zka17]

Good! But as I said, certain benchmarks won't raise the temps as much as prime95 does... so, if you still want try them... During everyday usage, you won't even get close to the prime95 temps either...

[MrRyaz]

1.44v on vcore, i thaught that was a damaging voltage? i thaught i would be reducing the life of my 960 at 1.3v or am i wrong?
