I had a z68 ud3h that died recently, not sure if I'm even going to RMA it as the board has been horrible. In any case, I picked up the z77x-ud5h, only downside so far is that I can't use my Corsair K60 keyboard to get into bios (can't use it at all until the windows login screen appears). So that aside, I have a i2600k on water. On the z68 ud3h the most I could get was 4.6ghz. With the z77x ud5h 4.6ghz was easy (lower voltages and temps compared to the z68 ud3h) but I can't go any higher still. However, if I use autotune that takes me all the way to 5.4ghz but with 1.54 volts. Temps never go above 71c running p95 or ibt for hours (6+) on end. On water what's a "safe" voltage for 24/7 use?

Re: z77x-ud5h auto tuning.... safe?
Which temps are temps? There are temps and there are different temps.
If those are CPU temps (T-Case) that may be the max the CPU go and then it begins to throttle.
Core temps are usually used in this form, read by Core Temp/RealTemp/AIDA and other software.
Max SB VID/absolute vcore is 1.52 by Intel.

Then I guess it's a good thing I got the no questions asked warranty coverage from Intel....... And if 1.52 is the max why would gigabyte allow their autotune to use vcore higher then that? It spent 6hrs or so running p95 at those settings...... Before I got water cooling I've seen the CPU hit much higher then 71C.

Re: z77x-ud5h auto tuning.... safe?
Then what does it measure and in what accuracy? Intel's specs are max 72C

You only have to pay shipping cost to Gigabyte.
When your board is returned, verify that it works at stock settings and then sell it to get back some of your money.
You must install the original plastic cpu socket cover before shipping your motherboard.
If you fail to do this, they will not repair or replace your motherboard.Q9650 @ 4.10GHz [9x456MHz]
