The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
www.newegg.com Now its time for a little fun with an air-cooled overclocking example on the Sandy Bridge platform. JJ dials in a 5.2Ghz overclock and demos a triple-SLI setup with the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme ROG motherboard. While our Alien vs. Predator benchmark gets us some impressive results, its also important to remember that the numbers in the video were achieved using pre-release drivers and BIOS (UEFI) revisions. Benchmark numbers with more recent drivers have improved in both performance and scaling! -== Hardware ==- ASUS Maximus IV Extreme bit.ly Intel Core i7 2600K: bit.ly Corsair Dominator GTX3 RAM: bit.ly Cooler Master Hyper 212+: bit.ly 3x ASUS GTX 580: bit.ly – Credits – Camera, Editing: Lam Talking: Paul Special Guest: JJ, ASUS Senior Technical Marketing Specialist

  13. iryan74656 says:

    It would be the best ever with Flight Simulator X on 3 60" Screen:)

  14. Soulcommander says:

    Hey Paul…was wondering if you or J J from Asus can answer this question as some of the Asus techs give out different answers as to what the EZ plugs are for on the mobo. Can you explain their purpose and when they are to be used?

  15. TheUnknownHarbingers says:

    that was a bad game to benchmark with.. mine as well been using Hawx

  16. deee661 says:

  18. adrianchen19888 says:

    the bios of this board is sooooooooooooo buggy

  19. worldsails2000 says:

    I just got mine put together, but with only two GTX580 cards.

    I will start OC it soon….I can’t wait.

  20. xxsekoxx says:

    @TearsOfWar1 Yes the Maximus IV. I cant figure it out.. sometimes it does it sometimes it doesnt. It doesnt seem to let me past 1.52v though. Its gotta be some type of setting.

  21. TearsOfWar1 says:

    @xxsekoxx It might depend on the motherboard. What do you have? the Maximus? I have the highest end Gigabyte one (P67A-UD7-B3).

  22. xxsekoxx says:

    If i go past 1.52 volts trying to get 5.2GHz when i boot it says Cpu over voltage and wont boot????!! could anybody tell me why?
