+1 best of wishes for you to get a good board. The moment you do then it's a hard thing to think of letting go.

So is there any reason why CPU-Z should be showing 4 instead of 8 threads with hyperthredding enabled?

should show 8, you sure HT is enabled?

Definatly enabled, I also only get 2 cores showing in OCCT although I also definatly have "all" set for cores in BIOS, I am stumped.

Jakethesnake011 · Apr 12, 2009

I had this problem myself, it could be due to you changing the number of cores that windows will boot with. Start>Run>Msconfig>Boot>Advanced Options>Un-check number of processors in that box. Hope this helps.

That did the job! :toast:

Thanks very much,, it's now showing 8 threads, I think I have a good chip here, until I get used to this BIOS I am running 24/7 @ 3.8gig, I can do this OCCT stable at 1.216V, have not tried any lower yet, at that no core goes above 47C whilst stressing

glad you figured it out tatty, with the help of jake of course :toast:

My highest stable Base clock so far is 212.5 Mhz with a x19 Multiplier. I was able so far to bump the memory and Uncore divider down with increasing the RAM voltage and decreasing my QPI Voltage. I think having the high QPI voltage made it unstable before, well anyways with that high base clock I can get my RAM to run just about 630Mhz a stick which is not bad, but less than stock. So I decided to have the CPU and Ram overclocked and keep it like so. I have a 3.9 overclock on CPu and a 818Mhz per stick so 1630ish Mhz running on ram which is still a nice overclock from the stock 1333 rating. Ram is running at 1.62V Cpu is running at +0.200 V, which makes 1.376, QPI is +.0.210V, CPU PLL is 1.84 and IOH is 1.10 and OCH is default 1.50V. I think it is better to have both CPU and RAM overclocked, since when I run RAM at stock speeds I can only get my CPU to go to 4.1Ghz, which is not much from 3.9Ghz I now have. I am going to try and Micky mouse some type of RAM cooler like the Corsair one, with 2 80mm fans, but I am unsure of how to mount it, maybe it might left me get a extra Mhz or 2 from the base clock. I also tried loosening my RAM timings to 10-10-10-38 and got no where at all with that. There are pics of my highest base clock and my current settings.

The word pretty comes to mind, great looking setup.

Thank you

I am going to try and work on the cables managment a bit more. Got some wires by the pump showing and I am trying to find a way to fit the 24 pin from the PSU behind the res like my old PSU.

Also, how big is that Radiator, it's bloody massive!

PaulieG · Apr 13, 2009

OK boys, I just sold my 920. I've got another on the way, and I'm told it's a 50-50 shot that it's a DO. No matter really, I just wanted to try another chip, and see how it performs compared to this one.

Thrackan · Apr 13, 2009

Let's hope you get a d'oh chip

Hey, I had a weird event happen to me saturday at a LAN party I went to. I installed win 7 on my computer and everything was fine. overclocked to 3.3ghz on stock cooler and volts. Everything was as smooth as butter. I took it there and afgter ten mins, it shut down and restarted, and no video would come up. I would have to wait about 5 mins, clear cmos for it to come back on.

Then it would restart again in 5 min. I ran memtest, ran with one stick of ram, and the cpu temp is fine. I also ran at stock , underclocked stuff, to no avail.

Gigabyte UD5
aerocool 1020 watt psu
i7 920
currentlly running 7950 gt until my card comes in.

It works perfectly at my home

So, is it working properly at home, now? If so, I'd say there is a power issue at the LAN site. If it is still causing you trouble, I'd say you have a power supply going bad.

N4cot1c · Apr 13, 2009

I have had it running for 32hours with no trouble. and I ran prime of those 32 hours for 12.

I agree with you Paulieg. If at home its fine and problem does not come back, power issue at the Lan site. Lan party, probably lots of people, power outlets were screaming for mercy!!!

Well my DFI board is dead and it's on it's way back, gonna try a Rampage Extreme II . From what I have read, it has had 11 bios updates and is fixed but we will see. Wanted this DFI board to work but I'm not gonna try it again. Wish me luck. I wanted a Classified but don't have the cash ( the RE2 was pushing my budget as it is)

Do Not Get The Riie, Send It Back And Refrain From Urinating On The Motherboard

Baer · Apr 14, 2009

I just got the replacement for my Dominator GT defective Dimm, now I can see all 6Gb. I am starting my OC adventure with the RAmpage II using the latest BIOS. I am now stable at 3.465 with temps in the 30's with no load, in the 50s under load (on air) and stable. I am at least off the peg and running

Here is a shot at just under an hour into stress testing.
Hey, I know it is not a big deal for some of you guys but I feel like I have acomplished at least a start.

Wow, that is a big rad off that backside,

hows that radbox holding that monster rad, especially full of water,
is it holding up well?

Damn DOMINATOR GT"S that is a whole lot of ram,.... are they speeding up to th gate....
any p[ics.

it holds up pretty good to be honest. Radbox is pretty sturdy.

@ Baer, good job bro, thats def. a start :toast:

Thanks both of you. I do not know what I am gaining by using the GT yet but my goal was not to be limited by hardware. First of all I want to learn this MOBO and Bios on air then perhaps go to a higher level.
