* Update * Core i3-530 32nm + Kingston HyperX DDR3-1375 1GB + GA-H55M-UD2H

After a lengthy evaluation of nearly 2 weeks, I've gone back to my 45nm setup (E7200 + Kingston HyperX DDR2 + GA-G31M-S2L) as per recommendation.

Seger summed it best here. My experience is the same (i.e. dull veiled sound) even with lower RAM voltages of 1.300V and Vreff/Vaddress/Vdata=0.550/0.540/0.540.

Temperatures are very low with 7x24 playing yielding temps of only 34°C doing 192k@145db. Although power consumption would be lower it seem this GB mobo (GA-H55M-UD2H) is a poor choice for audio (it's a gamers board with fantastic BIOS control). There's too much crammed into it and there's no "clean" PCI slot. Perhaps LGA775's *-S2H mobo is a better choice.
