Posting this for amusement. This is not photoshopped. Hell I don't even have PS on the computer yet!

Now, I don't think its really going that fast, but still, damn.

Oh and the 5.9 experience rating is due to the mechanical hard drive. The rest of the ratings are 7.4, 7.6, 7.4 and 7.4...

are you joking? 5.9ghz on air? how the hell is that even possible? That's not even an unlocked processor.

Hence the amusement part. I know for a fact it isn't going that fast. There is no possible way. My individual CPUID (CPU-Z) reports it running 3.1 And the only change I made to even guess at this was setting the turbo multiplier to 32 instead of 31. Though I hate the BIOS on this board. It sucks major ass. Most of my previous gigabyte boards at least had nicer overclock tools, this one has them all friggin disabled and the old ctrl-f1 won't work on this newer UEFI BIOS.

Anyway, I got a chuckle out of it.

Here is the Canard PC link.

Of course with no load its clocked back to a lower speed but you get the idea.

It's all disabled because you have a locked CPU... its not the board limitation. That's why I got a 2500K processor... the K series is fully unlocked and why I can OC it to 4.6Ghz.

Bah. It does what I need. Plays games fine, goes plenty fast. Boots very fast for being on a mech drive. I can always upgrade later! ;)
