Hello all.
Got my Mini build up and running. Followed the specs in Tony's step-by-step for the most part, although I've used the Khuler 620 and a Node 304 case instead. Some thoughts:
1. With the closed loop cooler I've seen that even overclocked the CPU stays below 70C. I've also noticed that while I can put all cores at 44 multiplier, anything above that leads to a crash (whether it be one core at 45 or all of them) or (more likely) the BIOS locking up or failing to post. Clearly this isn't a heat issue. I read somewhere that it's just the quality of the board: it's not able to supply enough voltage as it's not made for overclocking. Anyone been able to do anything more than 4.4Ghz (stable)?
2. I'm considering switching to the Asus P8Z77i board as this has full sized capability and since I have the Khuler I might as well use it ;-) But how vanilla is the board (once the BIOS patch has been applied)? Is there a DSDT that will get everything working?
Thanks in advance.
