Got some more fun stuff on the way... :wasntme:
Getting LN2 this week but will need a lot more than 50L this time methinks....
trans am - the memory controller is WAY better than in Clarkdale. You may hit the same memory clocks but Sandy Bridge will get three times less latency and 80% better bandwidth at the same clocks.
Welcome. New members from Korea "OCQueen":welcome:
Her first 3D benchmark :)
She has a strong interest in the OC ...
Korea XS members will help teach her.

L045A998
Can't help but wonder what happened to batch L043 and 44? :p:
We'll see!
Nothing to hold you breath about with that chip. 5.00ghz max. :down:Quote:

Im just having fun watching the scores pour in!
im curious to see you dudes run some 2001 while the iron is still hot.
@XS를 OCQueen에 오신 것을 환영합니다! 모두는 곧 불고기에 나가서 수 있습니다! :toast:
name gt, what is your relationship with ocqueen? why hasnt she posted yet on xs? are you putting us on and just logged in and created a new xs id with a beautiful woman holding a card or is she real?
lets see some video of the queen in action. she seems rad.
Msimax picked up a 2600K chip.Quote:

Guess that batch can swing one of 2 ways with the trends i see, either it goes down to 5.1 or up to 5.5.......
Microcenter.
I wanna see some results on the bot nonetheless! :p:
While we're at it, zeneffect where are you? I want to see some more of your results as well! :stick:
Nice work Steve, still getting some points out of the 5870! :up:

OCQueen, XS forum users for the same account exists. So she
Her nickname "bomnoon" will be used.
So her nickname is bomnoon?
I'll get her account activated as soon as possible! :up:

Recently in South Korea to compete in 2500k Overclocking:toast:
Air cooling of the good results of her team was No. 1.:D
Got you better pictures of that chicks :D
I have tried two so far, my best was also a L042B208 @ 5.3 ht off on UD5, also from microcenter. :)
I wonder if I could get higher on the P8P67 with higher bclock.
Trying now but for some reason with the latest bios I am locked at 3.4, odd :(
Could also be user error, haven't tweaked on asus in a long while and this new bios is so different from gigabyte. :rolleyes:

if name gt and safe disk are her pals then I would probably think twice before posting comments like that one. what the hell?
steve your pc mark scores are insane btw. chew knows the asus board inside and out. he can help. I am watching name gt and pccriminal on the biostar and its just amazing what is possible on that thing. Chew said msimax from new york had no cold issues on dice but I dont think cold is the issue on sandy bridge. the issue is the gains in clocks from sorta cold to xtreme cold is pathetic.Quote:

Still can't come off of 34 multi - it might still be user error but I am beginning to wonder.
So a few screen shots to show what i am seeing.
As an easy example, i just set system performance to "performance in the EZ mode - (this same probelm happens when I set everything manually also, i am using ez mode just for this example).
See screen shot 1, then after reboot, i go into the bios and looke at Ai Tweaker.
In screen shot 2 - windows should set cpu speed to 4429.
Finally look at XPx32 screen shot - screenshot 3.
TurboV says I should be at 43x but clearly under linx load i remain at 34x
Anyone have any idea what is going on? :shrug:

Steve, did you have TurboV installed in windows before you started overclocking? Reason I ask is because I had a similar issue after installing TurboV.
