I think I need to take 3 sticks out. I've been running 6 x 2GB, but it keeps getting too hot and OCCT shuts down (@ 4.01GHz). I definitely can't pussh the voltage any higher until I get it one water.

Hmm. I haven't found a need to use more than 6GB of ram for any reason. What do you need 12GB of ram for?

When I build them, I go all out. Go big or go home

n-ster · May 25, 2009

so will you sell 3 of thoses sticks?

I hear ya there. I've just found that filling all of the ram slots to be counter productive with overclocking stability. When I go big, I want my OC to go big too.

what your saying is true with all the slots filled it's harder to overclock.

what do you look for on an i7 box to see if it is a D0?

what is that on the box? Is it where it says S-Spec??

Correct. You would look for S-SPEC: SLBEJ

I'm planning to spoil my rad with 4x 38mm Sanyo Denki's

If that doesn't flow, I don't know what will...

Okay, once and for all - how are you guys getting 4.6Ghz on air? WTFOMGBBQPS3

Answer or I will be very very very sad.

D0 can't give you a 600Mhz increase over when they came out.

I just do it.

It's really not all that hard. Really it's the Gigabyte boards... they have an (AUTO) PCI-E function that gets past 216x21 bclk easier than most other motherboards if you were to tune it. The only thing I don't like about the bios is the memory clocking. Subtimings are often too loose.

SystemViper · May 25, 2009

gigabyte's rock and roll....

mudkip · May 25, 2009

I just discovered that it doesn't matter if I run 3Ghz 3,2 Ghz or 4,2Ghz the idle temps stay the same!! :laugh:

only the max temps are different :shadedshu

That's true at auto. The UD5 likes to set my timings to Cas 10, on 1600mhz, when they will do Cas 7. :laugh:

Easy enough to set them manually. This board still astounding me with OC recovery. After hours of pushing the clocks, I still have not needed to clear cmos. That's never happened to me with any board before.

Fitseries3 · May 25, 2009

i never noticed such a feat in any mobo but i guess thats because i run the pcie clock upwards of 113mhz to get max performance from the video cards.

I'm talking about subtimings Paulie

I bet you they're more loose than they need to be. How's your tRFC and RTL?

Haven't really messed with subtimings yet. From what I've experienced, it makes less of a difference than it does with DDR2 in terms of pefromance. I did set the trfc to 54. Can't remember what it was at stock.

Good. Keeping that low will pull down the other timings. If you can lower the tRFC and RTL the gig mobo usually does a great job with the rest of the timings on AUTO, just my personal findings.

my timings are really bad? do you have any tips for me?

Are you guys keeping hyperthreading on when going over 4 GHz? If I have to turn it off, what kinds of performance losses am I looking at?
