Apparently Stefan Diggs being out is a big loss to Matt Stafford . Per Bill Cowher . <| sep |> How does this make it worse ? <| sep |> I actually have the Asus z 170 a and my friend had the ASRock extreme 4 . Using the same i 56600 k , memory , and evga g 2 650 w , I could do 4 . 6 ghz 1 . 28 v and 4 . 8 ghz 1 . 36 v , while his board could only do 4 . 6 ghz 1 . 36 v . Both we ' re run under 280 mm rads and temps were in the low 70 s with Prime 95 . For some reason , my Asus board just puts out way cleaner voltage . Even monitoring the voltage with HWinfo , mine was rock solid while his tended to bounce around . I ' m not sure if there ' s some LLC calibration to be done , but just from my 100 % anecdotal evidence , I ' d recommend the Asus board . <| sep |> Good players can ' t keep up with mediocre nolifers in the past , either .
