| Nvidia’s Latest Core-Logic Causes Data Corruption During Overclocking Nvidia Corp., a leading designer of graphics processors and chipsets, recently admitted that its most-recent chipset for Intel Corp.’s microprocessors may cause data corruption in case processor bus and system memory are overclocked. Earlier customers blamed previous-generation Nvidia’s core-logic sets for data corruption under the same circumstances. Apparently, when computer enthusiasts overclock processor system bus (PSB) and memory clock-speeds on systems that are based on Nvidia nForce 790i-series core-logic, they may experience data corruption on hard disk drives. Earlier end-users complained about the same issue on systems powered by previous-generations Nvidia nForce chipsets. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipset...g_Company.html

| Hm, buy a 790i chipset especially designed for the absolute best overclocking (and priced accordingly), but then must run at stock because overclocking corrupts the HDD... You would think NVIDIA would of learned from their nForce4 and 680 drive corruption problems. Let alone that they could have figured out why and fixed it by now. I guess that's what happens when you reuse old chipsets without fixing the bugs first. Anandtech was also mentioning these issues, and some of what settings they've observed that will cause it. |

| overclocking should not be taken for granted though, they have it easy, if you run our boards beyond specs, you're on your own

Of course, should you attempt to run your memory at their claimed DDR3-2000 specifications... Quote:

| I get your point, they are in trouble because they advertise for OC, something which is ALWAYS risky
