Sapphire and ECS X79 Motherboard Review @ OCC

[news 28]

A news post would be great.

 

OCC has published a review on the Sapphire and ECS X79 Motherboards

 

Here is a quote from the review:

Quote:

"After looking at the lack of a heat sink over half of the VRM package I was leery of pushing too hard on the ECS X79R-AX. But push it did and offered up a higher overclock than the Sapphire Pure Black X79N by over 100MHz. The ECS BIOS allows the user to adjust the voltages in positive or negative increments instead of a fixed value for the CPU. By adjusting the vcore up and enabling LLC I was able to push the Core i7 3960X to 4653MHz using 1.46v."
