That is indeed stable. Nice temps too

Can I call my computer ''stable'' now?

IMO, to each his own when you're referring to stability. I've run multiple Wolfdale setups at 4GHz+ and have never even downloaded any stability software. My test of stability is if it doesn't crash during heavy benchmarking and/or gaming, and that's all that matters to me.

Fitseries3 · Mar 8, 2009

yes.... seeing how i run my rig at certain clocks only for benching...

as long as it runs for a few runs without rebooting im good.

Chicken Patty · Mar 8, 2009

i dont stress test, if it dont crash while I use it everyday, its stable enough for what I do. If it does I simply tweak it, just as you would do if it crashes during prime lets say.

Thrackan · Mar 8, 2009

I just had a 3 hour prime run on 3.66 with HT and turbo enabled (so 3.8something)
Max temps 66C. That's about 5C less that I ran without HT/turbo off on air... I like it!

Pics will follow later.

Nice.

I've ran OCCT for an hour

Can I call my computer ''stable'' now?

blck = 180
QPI = x36
Uncore x16
EIST on
Memory multiplier 6
CPU vcore 1.24
VTT = Auto

Yeah, I'd say that is stable.

For those of you who have commented about not testing for total stability, I say "to each his own". Maybe I'm just old school. A couple of years back, anyone who considered themselves an overclocker tested for complete stability. That was part of the game...part of the challenge of the hobby, to find the absolute highest you could go AND be completely stable. I still adhere to this, and any stable overclock I report is completely stable.

I'm on a laptop right now. I hate it when I'm in between rigs. My Blood Rage, Super Talent ram and Tygon black tubing will be here by Wednesday....hopefully.

I am quoting Overclock3d.net .....

"Oh my (insert expletive here) God! 4.3 Ghz is an amazing overclock, made even better that it comes from an mATX board and this is on air cooling! Beating all other motherboards we have tested to date......"

Do we have a winner ? j/king

it s already sold out in some web stores.

Jupiter · Mar 9, 2009

Guys i'm just curious. As much traffic as you guys have here
why have you not setup an irc channel for TPU? It's not hard
to do and a lot more convenient for real time chat/support.

CP your rig pics ROCK.

Interesting development but the DFI did it first. No real winner

So it will come down to ...price,bundle , and tech support .

Binge · Mar 9, 2009

With respect to your choice on the motherboard or are you trying to crown a "victor"?

It's funny but it seems there s no victor , they are all very close in performance , like i said it all come down at the end : price , bundle (softwares) , tech support (bios updates)

Binge · Mar 9, 2009

Do you have an i7 to contribute overclocking info or personal experience?

Could you post some of your own findings on the subject? That would be really helpful. Thanks for the review links.

SystemViper · Mar 9, 2009

awww, common, the reviews tell the whole story. :banghead:

Don't count me , there are people more qualified than me , for doing just that, in this forum , i am not sure , if you paid attention to the word "joking" in my original post , it seems all these websites have their favorites boards/sponsors . Business as usual.

Please be a little clearer next time, but I think I understand you. You're joking about a review because it's a biased website and that joking is your job.

Easy to understand!
