    Nice system. :cool: Would you mind posting temperatures and 3DMark Fire Strike results? I'm curious about the 6700K.

    EDIT: Running at stock, please and thanks.

    So, today after a long day of updating windows and drivers yesterday @Phoenix and I linked up on Team viewer to better optimize my experience. we discovered based on my other posts on stability and overclocking that judging my temps and stress test I may have hit the jackpot with my HIDevolution delidded processor it is running very cool even under 4.6 GHz I may have hit the jackpot. Here is a link of my post http://forum.notebookreview.com/posts/10395054/
    We are pending the final Prema BIOS to stabilize the overclock. :D

    Here's the link I posted some questions I had http://forum.notebookreview.com/posts/10395054/
    I did not run 3DMARK yet as my benches before for Heaven were abysmal until @Phoenix started to help me. I ran a weak bench with Dirt 3 and max fps was 70. I was sad after the help and assistance I ran 200fps.

    Nice to see a P870DM3 build that didn't just go nuts and get everything. Smart choices imo on the delidding, 16GB of ram, and storage.
