Ram stability achieved at super tight timings 1600MHz 6-7-6-16 Super Pi 32M stable/3D app stable. Here's my quote from i4memory.com

Binge when you set the anti voltage droop/ load line calibration on the DFI board does the voltage end up higher than what you set it at in the bios,when the cpu is stressed . Like these evga boards. I'm wondering if the evga boards are the only ones that handle droop like this.

Binge · Apr 1, 2009

It's funny with the DFI boards. If you put vdroop control on then you get the normal intel specified droop. If you turn it OFF (recommended for overclocking) then your voltage will NOT change from idle to load, but it will be slightly off from your bios. For instance. My voltage is 1.4V in bios but will read 1.408V from the multimeter lead.

well look at the difference here bios then, cpuz underload , but having said that once you figure it out man this boards hell on wheels. I think this is a decent overclock at this voltage. I'm starting to wonder if I should trade it in.

I think it's compensating for your low volts to the cpu. That's one smart motherboard.

I think it's more like EVGA making this board work through bios magic. You could be right but I'm wondering if thats some kind of voltage sensor on the board or is it the cpu doing it. I'm also really starting to like this board. It's quirky but once you figure it out look out. The last bios update made it stable as heck.

thats is the thing with the EVGA board. If you dont have the latest or one of the latest BIOS versions, they are buggy. I personally love mine. Really I don't go DFI because this board hasn't gave me a reason to.

I feel 40K comming tonight!

Sweet SV!! Very nice. Hey, did your Gene come yet?

Chicken Patty · Apr 1, 2009

go SV go, dude like 2mhz higher overclock and you'll hit 40K :toast:

I would tend to agree with ya Chicken Patty. However, I may be stuck, no returns on the DFI board, unless for exchange and if I do a refusal I'm out 12.00 shipping, plus the DFI was 19.00 cheaper than the EVGA at the time I bought it. Hopefully it's not defective or I'm gonna be pissed. For the record EVGA recommends the anti voltage droop when overclocking and I see why. I was wrong about this board but in my defense it has a bit of a learning curve.

I know bro, plus im sure you'll be very happy with the DFI. But however as far as vdroop, I just found it easier for me with it off. When Vdroops is on I kinda just found that the voltage was unpredicable. As far as what you set the BIOS to be and what it is in windows.

your right again but you just have to be careful because if you set your core voltage to low and your overclocking to aggressive the board will compensate by increasing the voltage and try to make it stable sending your heat screaming and possibly killing the cpu or board. Evga should tell you the motherboard has a smart voltage function so you can compensate . If they had told me I would be keeping it because I would have adjusted for it. This is a case of the technology being smarter than the tech and evga not informing the consumer. I'm still amazed it does what it does in the first place , a smartboard that tries to maintain a overclock, ingenious!!!

you are correct. but if you set a voltage that low as you are saying I don't think it'll pass post or boot up. Doesn't for me. But you are completely correct and I won't argue that.

I have been around these forums for a long time and it feels good to have a chance to rock some numbers. I have a lot of respect for eveyone here and have learned something from just about everyone, so keep it comming....

I am excited, i have always looked at 40k as the mark to beat....

Just did it with (2) gtx295's
i7 920
Gig UD4P
Kingston HyperX 2k....
Igloo setup

ORB Link HERE

Double wow! .... for the overclock and the wallet :toast:

SV, you have set some records with you Igloo bro. Super congrats to you my friend. keep them coming!! :toast:

New addition

Well guys I've got plenty of reading to do on i7 overclocking but I'm ready to play in the big leagues.

Please help me choose on a board!!! I'm stuck between an Asus P6T and the Evga line up(that classified looks sick!).

As for ram I'm gonna stay with Corsair pick up a third 4830 for grins!

PaulieG · Apr 2, 2009

I just received my Asus Rampage II Gene. She's up and running, and I'm starting some benchmarks now...

Anyone know of a NB WB that will fit on this board?

Please tell me you didn't pay that much for that CPU :eek:
