Unfortunately, there is no voltage control on this board. That is the main reason for the OC limit.

thanx

Hi v310.

Great build. After reading your thread I bought almost the exact same except with H77N-WIFI and still have my old 8800GT graphics card.

Everything works great OTB including USB 3 back and side, except wifi and Bluetooth.

Sleep also works except after the whole system sleeps (including all fans and drives) it wakes by itself after about 2 seconds, with no side effects. When it wakes everything works, network, sound, bluetooth dongle, magic mouse. It just wakes. I can press the power button and put it back to sleep multiple times. It just won't stay asleep.

I tried various settings in the bios but nothing is working so far.

Which options did you enable on System Preferences / Energy Saver ?

This is my machine running @ 4.4:

I dropped down to 4.2 because I kept getting freezes. I have a feeling or memory sticks are different. I think I have a cheaper version of the Vengeance which is probably why I haven't been able to hit your performance. Still, the rig is great! Now, if we could just figure out how to get "sleep" to work...

Allow power button to put the computer to sleep

Try to disable wifi and remove the ethernet cable. Put the machine to sleep and let me know if it works.

Well, you could decrease the memory speed to 1600 and increase the proc multiplier to 4.4. Maybe it will fix the freezes. I'm done trying to solve the sleep issue. Maybe i will try again when 10.8.3 is available.
