Hey guys, a little update, been working with Gigabyte's new beta BIOS F7b, which unlocks the Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage option, this option is key to going beyond 5Ghz with a stable system.
Had to toy with some settings, here's what I changed in my BIOS:
Disclaimer: these are my individual results with this particular board and proc, your mileage may vary, you may get lower results or even better results than me, be aware that over volting your CPU can kill your system if you're not careful, I'm not responsible for any damage to your system from using these settings.
CPU Clock Ratio: 50X
Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage: Enabled
Real-Time Ratio Changes: Enabled
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E): Disabled
C3/C6 State Support: Disabled
CPU Thermal Monitor: Disabled
CPU Vcore: 1.425V
DRAM Voltage 1.65V
Load Line Calibration: Level 1
Here's the BIOS Status at boot:
Beware though, this is a beta BIOS, and sometimes will activate the Dual BIOS function, replacing the BIOS with the default F3 ver. if the system hangs, forcing you to flash the BIOS again if you want to enable certain OCing options, if you are not comfortable having to flash the BIOS please wait for the final release.
Make sure you have a voltage and temperature monitoring program to constantly check your CPU status, as anything north of 5Ghz and 1.45V will effectively double your CPU's temperature.
Here are some bench results:

Now for some gaming benchmarks: I took pictures of the settings I used for each game, but then I realized that posting all those pictures would make this post too long, suffice it to say that I used the max settings for all games, at 1920x1200, 4X FSAA, 8X AF, VSync off, using built in benchmarks when available and FRAPS when necessary, doing a one minute run using some of my saved games, if you're curious about the settings I used for each individual game, let me know and I can post the pictures in a separate post. I also monitored temps and volts at all times:
Here're the results:
Batman Arkham Asylum average 91FPS:
Dirt 2 average 119.9FPS:
F1 2010 average 70FPS:
Dragon Age: Origins FRAPS:
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg

Crysis: Warhead FRAPS:

2368, 60000, 31, 46, 39.467
COD:MW2 FRAPS:

8109, 60000, 84, 160, 135.150
Aliens vs Predator FRAPS:

6076, 60000, 69, 121, 101.267
StarCraft II FRAPS:

3703, 60000, 49, 64, 61.717
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 FRAPS:

6340, 60000, 93, 122, 105.667
Well, dunno if I'll try going higher, can boot to Win7 at 5.2Ghz, but I didn't want to push the temps too high as I was reaching 70 degrees already at that speed, and system wasn't fully stable, I got tired of having to flash the BIOS on system hangs (had to do it like 6 times) and I would probably have to push the Vcore beyond 1.45V and do trial and error but with a more stable BIOS that enables PLL overvoltage.
As you can see, the difference in performance isn't so much when going from 4.5Ghz to 5Ghz, and I prefer to use 4.5Ghz for 24/7 as temps are really good and the system is rock stable![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
Will let you know if I get the OCing bug again one of these days and try to OC more when Gigabyte releases a final version of their latest BIOS.
I want to thank everybody for their posts
I really appreciate your words of encouragement you guys rock!
Special thanks go to EastCoastHandle for his excellent SB system builder guide, and to blu3flannel for helping me with FRAPS.
I hope I didn't bore you all with this long post
I'll keep updating this thread if there's any new developments.
Please reade the rest of the thread for more pics and feedback![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
