You should give us temps on load XD

btw... you still think you got a bad chip?

Awesome OC

even with a good chip, to get a good OC you need a good OCer!

EDIT: btw 4000th reply

im banned from RRR.com but you can see it there.

there is a thread all about not lapping the HK3

the block was machined with a slight curvature.

if you lap it you'll remove the curve.

if you lap it with the block together like alot of people might... the block will be flat until its mounted on a cpu then you'll have a bubble in the middle where the block actually curves away from the cpu in the middle. i guess it would be better described as a "pocket".

if you lap just the base alone... copper only... you'll have the flat base even when its on a cpu.

HOWEVER...

the HK3 is SOOOO thin that if you lap too much off you'll sand clean through the base.

HESmelaugh(shane) and hondacity both know from experience.

they have both noticed worse temps in the 1st case but were able to fix it to correct the problem.

This was my first time lapping. I didn't fuck it up. Oh well.

Hey guys, I need some help. I bought a Xeon 5530 BO ES chip on the cheap. It will work in any i7 board. However, it only has a 18x multi. So, I need a board for it that has a HIGH max BCLK. So, my question is, what boards seem to have the highest BCLK max? I need to purchase the board this weekend, so quick replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

the DFI UT (and dk soon I think) can go 235 BCLK which means 4.2xx ghz! that'd be 1.8+ghz OC max... idk if that is enough for you or if this helps... :ohwell:

I'd bet you're in uncharted territory. I don't remember seeing anyone oc a 5530. Also my guess is that the chip will make more of a difference than the board. If I had that chip I'd probably go for a cheap x58 board.

I don't think the DFI will work with that chip I doubt the bios will Identify it , on extreme they had trouble with Xeon on those boards. They do have a high FSB but high failure rate, your best bet is a ASUS board if any bios will work (simply because they are one of the biggest motherboard makers in the world) with that chip it's Asus and I would try the Gene.

n-ster · May 9, 2009

You could try a server board? that way you are sure it would work...

Only the DK has a high failure rate as I have found out to my cost :cry:

, I dont beleive the UT has?

I've had confirmation that 99% of all LGA1333 boards will work just fine just like s775 Xeon chips. I just need a board that is stable with a high BCLK. I had a DK, and had to RMA it. I also had a Biostar and Asus Gene, not to mention my Blood Rage. I really never tested the BCLK limits of those boards. I never really had to, since the 21x multi on the 920 allows for so much room, that the chips would hit their limit before the board. I do know that my Blood Rage starts giving me hell above 212.

You guys may wonder why I bought a chip with an 18x multi. Well, first of all I only paid $160 for it. Secondly, no one else here has one...and I'm up for a good challenge. Oh, and this chip has a TDP of only 80w, so it should stay rather cool.

Really? The members here who have them havent had a problem though unless I missed something.

The DFI will work with that chip. Please stop shit slinging the DFI boards. Mine will reach 230 bclk on my chip just fine at x18 multi. Max is 235 in bios.

::EDIT:: I rmaed once. Most of you have not even gone through the RMA process to see if you got a good board. Impatience is a bitch.

n-ster · May 10, 2009

IMO it is worth an RMA to get a good board... but Binge, one question... If say I get a C0/C1 i7 920 and the DFI DK... and I OC to like 4ghz on 1.4V or something... is there a bigger chance that my mobo would fuck up after the warranty?

DFI's warranty is lifetime if I'm not mistaken, and I've had the same UT board for a long while now overclocking really damn far regularly.

MY UT died , thats hardly shit slinging it is simply the truth . I like DFI but their x58 board have a high failure rate. Binge your boards has died as well correct? They are either great or they die read some reviews.

Fitseries3 · May 10, 2009

DFI's arent prone to die any faster than any other board.

You had one die as well correct?

Fitseries3 · May 10, 2009

it wasnt the board no. just the lan port.

and it was my fault. i stated that 100s of times.

i used ixchariot to test the lan bandwidth and the IC overheated.

MY FAULT... NOT DFIs

my AMD DFI died 4 days after I received it. But the board is freaking awesome. DFI in general IMO.

okay but it died non the less and according to newggs reviews they do die often enough. However, they seem to be getting better.

most of the egg reviews are stooge kids that have no idea WTF they are doing.

did any of them give a reason on what caused them to die?

the majority don't. Also I hate how people give something one egg because it didn't work with their RAM or something. Read up on it, find out what RAM is compatible, duh!!!! :nutkick:

and you know they are stooge kids, how? For all you know they could be experts. Hardly any stooges I know buy 300.00 motherboards. I shop at newegg as does 90 percent of this forum from the USA are we stooges? Assumptions make a ___out of you and me?

You can tell in those reviews who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't. The vast majority are correct , both positive and negative.
