CM Storm QuickFire XT Launches
Cooler Master now announces the availability of the QuickFire XT mechanical keyboard in Europe. Over at the CM Storm Store, the Cherry MX Blue version costs $89.99 while the Cherry MX Red costs $99.99. Cooler Master, a leading creator, innovator and manufacturer of desktop components, mobile accessories, and gaming peripherals, today announced the long awaited QuickFire XT, the full 104 key sibling to the top-rated QuickFire Rapid. Exhibiting the same extremely solid construction that won the hearts of QuickFire Rapid owners, QuickFire XT is sure to impress gamers once again.
Sleek, Comfortable, & Durable
Featuring a smooth and clean aesthetic, QuickFire XT includes laser-marked keycaps and a non-glossy matte finish. This is complemented by a set of extra keycaps (includes a key puller) that give the keyboard, and its user, a bit of individuality that provides a striking outlook. A response time of 1ms, in USB mode, offers gamers a necessary consistency to navigate the ever changing landscapes of their video game libraries.
With the Windows Key being disabled in GAME mode, users will no longer worry about possibly losing a match from accidentally minimizing the game. Multimedia shortcuts are available to ensure that media can be controlled with ease. With N Key Rollover (NKRO), users deploying the QuickFire XT in PS/2 mode can activate many keys on the keyboard simultaneously.
High-grade Cherry MX Switches
Offering the best available mechanical hardware, QuickFire XT integrates Cherry MX switches. These provide the QuickFire XT with the ability to respond to, and recover from, furious button presses with almost zero lag.
Vastly improve your possible gaming actions per minute by utilizing a QuickFire XT Mechanical Gaming Keyboard in FPS, MMO, RTS, and other games. Cherry MX Red, Green, Brown, or Blue switch availability will vary based on region.
Hassle-free Travel and Size
Travel with ease by simply removing the included braided USB cable and storing it. At all times, the QuickFire XT makes itself a more journey-ready partner with its super-slim body. It allows the keyboard to be more ergonomically-friendly while being easier to transport than most full-sized mechanical keyboards.
The QuickFire XT will be available July, 2nd 2013 in Green, Red, Blue, and Brown Cherry MX Switch models. Price and availability may vary based on region. This release is meant for the U.S. and Canada regions only. Please consult your local Cooler Master Representative for more information.

I've checked through alot of the posts, not too many people with 2600k that shows they're settings. However when I for example run prime or ibt my multiplier bounces alot, I changed some settings:
Disable Overspeed protections
Set long duration power limit to 200
Long duration maintianed: 128 seconds
Short Duration: 250
Vdroop offset control 75%
And when I ran ibt now it bounces from multiplier 34x to 45x and my vcore is 1.328
I haven't gotten any bsod with either of the settings, do I have to change anything if everything works on auto with default power settings as well? Or do I need to change them to 250 / 128 / 255? Or is that only if I need more volts? And the vid voltage in hwmonitor, is that accurate or should I just ignore that? It seems to go rather high while testing.. Hopefully I get some answers.

I got some weird issues as well that I can't seem to find a solution, during stress tests it seems like the cpu sometimes throttles down to 3.4 ghz from 4.5 ghz for a couple of seconds? And i've checked the bios if there's any temp protection on, but I can't seem to find anything. I've also tried to up the volt doesn't seem to do the trick, anyone know what I can try?

You have to turn off all power saving features in bios.

I'm sure you'll get some good help from the gurus here, but I'd also suggest posting here. There are alot of super huge msi geeks running around and have very specific knowledge on the msi line.
