Well, you still have very good options. My P67 isn't good and my CPU seems a little "crap"

Seems like USA overclockers where mostly sandbagging ... 2minutes left, +2 USA in the top 15.

[Xyala]

all right, so .. so far close to 50/50 for each side of America. Very nice, makes it even more interesting!

Sure you didn't just get two bad boards, or condensation issues?

Tried the X79-GD65 a while ago .. had no problems with it whatsoever. Only thing that bugged me at that point what immature software, so couldn't change bclock/multiplier in windows lol

[Hondacity]

gd65-z79 was flawless in my case. easy 1.25 strap.

Yeah, the only X79A-GD65 I had here was pretty solid too. 162BCLK with 2600MEM no sweat. Still my favorite X79 board I think (even better than my XPower)

If elimination takes place after, let's say, 3 days ... then sandbaggers will submit the 3rd day anyway.

It is really solid, but I don't know why, I got three of those on heaven now =( It can't be insulation problems. Each of those has different behavior, one got leds but nothing happens when you press the power button, the another one spins the fans very shortly but no beeps or debug codes and the third one powers up, post is really slow, bios is really lagged and cannot load any OS in any mode even in stock config....

On SB side the Z68 GD80 showed up more powerfull than any other sb board that I've ever tried, got highest clocks, highest bclk, (high vdrop as well =P) but it got a burnt mosfet =( The sad part is that it wasn't benching when it fired up, I was just opening the control center II =( and took the CPU with it, and the cpu took down two maximus (IV and V) that I used to check if it was dead too... I was bankrupt at the beginning, now besides being broke I'm almost outta mobos =(

Really liking the x79-GD65 8D
x56 1.575v -28c 1.20vCCIO 1.22vCCSA is briliant!

Rubass you make me drop big 03 score early, I do not like being #2 lol and sand bagging is no fun
