I was very happy to assist, and I'm glad that you are enjoying your system. Thank you so much for providing an unboxing video - do you mind if we feature it on our social media sites?

BTW, I noticed that you had in the video that your 990X was clocked to 3.5GHz...are you reading that from Windows or with software like CPU-Z? I talked with Danny and the LiquidX 2900 setups with 990X CPUs should be sent out over 4GHz. Let me know in case the BIOS somehow lost the overclock settings.

[MythFame]

I thought they were clocked to 3.5 but the systems aren't overclocked at all :((
I just checked with CPU-Z and the core speed jumps from 2500-3400

Would love to see the performance @ 4k on these bad boys (6)
Any ideas on what I should do Chris?

And yes feel free to use the video as you please. =)

[ChrisMorley]

Did you select Redline Overclocking on your order? If you did, it sounds like the BIOS just lost the settings during shipping - we see that occasionally with Asus boards - they get to the customer without the overclocks. Call in and we'll walk you through it...

[MythFame]

Problem solved, thanks for the help Chris. :)

Also want to shout out to Gustavo M. person who built my PC, you rock! (6)
