Holy cow

Anyone know if the 950 will take a dip in price when the 960 shows? Might be interested if it shows up below $500.

I've seen 950s for $300ish. Good luck.

 

[mastrdrver]

950s for $300?! Where!???

LMAO...Runnning that high overclock and has a 9400 gt in it.

IM having a bitch of a time getting my overclock on this classified past 4.3ghz, and run vantage or anything close. I used to be able to run 4.45ghz on my UD5 with 1.44V vocre and 1.475 Vtt, now I am trying that voltage on the classified and I get nothing stable, nor anything higher, I tried 1.525V vcore and 1.550V Vtt, and nothing no stability in vantage. Now I tried lowering my Uncore ratio which was x18, to x16 since I am running x8 memory and doing so gave me a result where the computer wouldn't post..I am not havign much luck with this board. I am unable to even get an uncore of x20 to work with these new Kingston HyperX kit, when tryign to run ram speeds of 1000Mhz +, any suggestions on some settings.

I finally got a chance to test out the 920/UD5 combo i had in my closet for over 5months lol

Any tips on what voltages i need to raise and temps ?

Running it under a True with a few fans blowing into it

 

[Jakethesnake011]

I had a d0 at 1.44v avcore and 1.475 vtt, 1.65 vdram, 1.20 IOH, 1.88 PLL, and the uncore at x18 memory at x8 for a 4.45ghz overclock.

voltages are differenct for every setup dude.

basics:

keep qpi/dram and dram voltage within .5v of each other. other than that, just tweak little by little and have patience.

Temps to me max is 90ºc, but I only feel comfortable running it at 80ºc or under. But if you get closer to 90ºc for short bench sessions, then it's fine

4.5ghz @ 1.36
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=771658

I cannot get 4.6ghz stable not matter how much voltage and as soon as i hit 223 Bclk it wont boot

 

[Chicken Patty]

Try to post a BIOS template. See if we can help you out

You have a dual GPU. That makes it incredibly hard to OC your processor. For a max OC, use a single GPU and turn up the PCI-E frequency to 102-110.

I'm using a EVGA 260 SC on the i7 rig

 

[Jakethesnake011]

welcome to the 223 ud5 base clock wall, so many experience the same problem, hard mod of the board is needed to pass wall, need to take off a very tint transistor by IOH and re solder a few spots down, PM hicookie at XS.org he can help or look in XS.org for mod.

 

[Jakethesnake011]

zoom in lol

 

[Assassin48]

yea i don't know if i can do that, my skills with the soldering iron aren't that great

 

[Binge]

So did my suggestion help?

 

[Assassin48]

So did my suggestion help?

let me try it really quick to see if it works

 

[Assassin48]

Moving the PCI-E to 101 = no boot

Let me see if i can find a better bios

 

[Assassin48]

Updated to F7 bios and pcie is at 101 without freezing

will continue to oc since im at 4.2

 

[Binge]

Cool cool

 

[Assassin48]

no matter what i did i cant get 4.62 stable tried as much as 1.47v and nothing instant BSOD when trying wPrime

I think 4.5ghz HT on Air is nice until i go to dice or ln2

right now I'm at 102 PCI @ 4.66ghz on 4 cores no HT

 

[Asylum]

Hell yea there it is.
Bout time i hit it. If my stupid CPU score wasnt flaking out i could break 42k.
