Gigabyte EP45-DS4 first extreme performance !!! (56k Warning!)

Hello everyone :),

About one week ago i go to Taiwan for some GIGABYTE event " GIGABYTE Spring Break & Plug-fest 2008 ", on this event will have overclocker come from around the world for start and try to playing new GIGABYTE motherboard on Intel P45 chipset base so for all overclocker we are come from here Xtremesystems :up: all of the overclocker come from 15 country - Benelux, France, Poland, Estonia, Turkey, USA, Hong Kong, Romania, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Korea, Indonesia, Australia, Taiwan

So on this event GIGABYTE prepare LN2 for we about 360L for benching on two day :eek: and more more more device for playing :up:

OKay (my popular word :D) let's go to see for some activity on this event :D:D:D

btw. Thank you to GIGA-BYTE Technology for all :up:

Thanks for everything from all and nice to met everyone, hope one day we'll met again :)

Sorry for not good English but i think everyone will OKAY :)

looking good , thanks for sharing zolkorn.looks like theirs potencial in that board .

Hey zolkorn :D Thanks for sharing.

Did anyone have a chance to test with single-die chips? If so-How was the FSB?

How mature does the BIOS feel?

Thanks :D

K

What did Zolkorn say when he reached 500MHz FSB stable with the Q9300 ?

for bios feel i think it good than all old gigabyte mobo and some feature is we are needed long time waiting on Vcore setting it fine for setup after 1.6V about 0.025V for step :)

I'm OKay :D

Well I guess it's safe to say the NDA is over ;) I'll upload all the images I shot on the first day along with my own impressions soon. Was great meeting you :yepp:

Awsome, nice from Gigabyte to invite overclockers, but i dont really recognice many familiar faces.

Great pics and thanks for the info :)

great write up zolkorn,

not everyone that attended were overclockers, about half/half, alot of knowledge in that room though,

that park is a crazy dude!

It was rather great as it gave a lot of upcoming overclockers a chance to get some serious experience :cool:

Nice impressions, they should work on that known issues-list :p:
Q9300 500 Mhz FSB benchstable is veeery nice

Good Pics . :D
I'm waiting for mine for some tests. Pt1t give me some infos about this mobo ;)

I can see dinos22 ( not surely, pic's not showing everything but I think I see a part of his face :p: ), hicookie, zolkorn ( well...not see, but I can see him behind the camera :p: ) and the guy riding the LN2 dewar is Paul W. ( Sacha35 here if my memory serves me right ) from benchtech uk.

heheh yeah i was there

i'll post some photos in this thread later on
i've only got a couple of things on the card cause i didn't realise we were allowed to take cameras the first day
second day i was too busy benching at 5.5GHz on LN2 :D

Sure you wasn't to busy to do some screenshots? :rofl:
5.5 Ghz sounds good btw :D

yeah i have a few screens
but i only had some crappy 9600GT lol
will post later (wasn't sure we are allowed :confused: with Intel NDA and all lol)

they put our system together with some really random components >> we're talking like value RAM on one and 400W PSU, QX9650 with say 8800GT and then high end RAM, 3870, E6550 etc etc hehe

but we could request other stuff
i had a beefier PSU on the second day because i was benching at 2.0v on the QX9770 i had that i swapped with hicookie heh

i have to say i was very surprised how many quad cores were hitting 500MHz FSB
my board wasn't as good or i didn't hit the sweet spot but i was able to bench 3D under cold at 480MHz (and on air...didn't make much difference)...which is not bad at all hehehe.........actually i was booting in at 459*12 for my benchmarks

I love what's weite on the white-board -> Vcore can't change : Easytune can but not bios!

:D Really interesting stuff.

man that easytune software saved the day :D
works great and you can change a lot of things including voltages on the fly :D

hahahaha Pt1t you horny Belgian you :ROTF:

ET6 also works with the X48-DQ6, I brought home my HDD array and plugged it into the X48T and I could atleast do vid/vdimm adjustments :cool: Without ET6 I think we would have had to resort to figuring out hard mods :(

Removed for safety :cool:

Meh everyone showing benchmarks
I'll do some entertaining

First of all let's see how good mr.hot chicks is in action throwing what looks like some kind of break dance to teach his homies (pt1t & park) how it's done in taiwan :rotf::D
