fucking bitches they canceled the order

any given reason why?

Wrong price

Not funny guys

oh well lol fuck i5 and i7 8xx anyway

yep.

 

[Chicken Patty]

I'm not liking i5, a few retail ones I've seen so far need a shit load of voltage for 4ghz.

 

[mudkip]

Yeah, imo overrated. They act like i5 / i7 xx are the best CPU's but they overclock like shit.

Yeah, that's what I was imagining.

Only the mobo's are cheaper, that's all.

Not cheap enough. x58 ftw.

 

[mastrdrver]

True, but ~$200 will get you a higher end P55 board than a X58 one. There's always that one to consider too.

I don't believe you are correct sir. We've proven that $170 mobos can clock 4.3ghz+ and that beats out anything the p55s can muster.

3Ghz tweaked a bit (x44 multiplier for QPI , from 7-7-7-20 to 7-6-7-20)

Beautiful low volt. It's stuff like this I can show people and they realize nothing competes.

Thanks Binge!

I had to up Vcore a little bit, from 0.94375 to 0.95v, to run the x44 QPI multiplier instead of the x36 multiplier , don't know why though? QPI speed also affects Vcore?! I think that raising the QPI speed also stress the CPU a bit more , that's why I needed to raise the Vcore.

Now testing 1500Mhz @ 7-6-6-18 , hope it's stable

well QPI and vcore are relative, so it isn't too strange. good luck

Btw Binge if you love low voltages.

I flashed/undervolted/overclocked my GTX280 also.

Speeds were 602/1107/1296 (GPU/MEM/Shader)

There were 3 bios profiles :

'2D' 1.11v
'Low performance 3D' 1.11v
'3D' 1.18v

Then flashed to 687/1195/1478 and changed the voltages:

'2D' 0.775v
'Low performance 3D' 0.85v
'3D' 1.03v

More performance, less heat , lower temps and less power consumption

I can vouch for that. And this is on air.

I'm only interested in low voltage CPUs GPUs undervolted mean less gaming power. Anyway that's pretty radical.

Not in my case , btw RAM 1500MHz @ 7-6-6-18 OCCT stable, pretty awesome , will test memtest tomorrow

My bad, I was talking feature set wise. I'm sure there are some that matter more about what they get with the board (features) than how far it will push a processor.

To your point I don't disagree.

WOW, definitely something I'm looking at doing when i get the Accelero on my 280

And as for this page's main theme, X58 FTW

I know my board is a little more pricey than some, but from what you guys post, it seems just about any board is capable of 4-4.2+

Triple channel memory = cool

True 16x/16x dual card = win

Just look back through this thread and you will have sold yourself a i7 920 D0.

 

[mastrdrver]

I agree with you wolf on the pricey point. I was going to wait for P55 but then Newegg had the P6T6 and GSkill Pi as a Shellshocker one day which made the memory free and I just had to bite. It was the board I wanted if I was going to go x58 and the deal was too much to pass up.

They both have been very good as the Pi's can go 7-7-7-21 1T at 1600mhz without a problem on as little as 1.6v.
