Changing mobo then! Droop, slow post, and no chassis fan controler are things in wich P6T takes advantage.
Guys what bios for the Extreme can you recommend? F3 is fine but for issues with 8x mem divider at higher BCLKs.. mobo won't post -.-
these everest memory benchmark scores are great.this might sound dumb but i have a quick question guys,with read/write/copy in the 20k range and latencyin the mid to high 20's,can you actually feel the difference between this and 775 ddr2 boards in everyday use?cause just going by the numbers should be about twice as good.just wondering if it really translates in real world use? thanks
had a 4ghz dualcore e8600 before.Quote:

The i7 in my desktop are way smoother and responsive.
My expereince.
i had a e8500 @ 4.12 with 2 gig 1066 mem
change to 920 @ 4.2 200 x 21 and 3 gig 1600 mem
the system responses quicker and seem smoother overall
wether its worth the extra £
i think it is
the only problem i have is the lack of a mounting plate for any fuzion v1
yea man, air just isn't cutting it. Seeing 83C on prime after an hour just doesn't sit well with me lol.Quote:

I hit 85C on stock Cooling at Stock speed on my I7 920 within 5 mins of Prime :(Quote:

I knew it was going to get hot but 83c...wow I would have freaked LOL. That is why I didn't even run prime or my favorite OCCT. I played Warhead (the train level, forgot what it is called) and it was very smooth at 4.2GHz. I am comparing this to my e8600@4.5GHz which also did well.Quote:

Started a Living Review here.

Added a full set of voltage measuring points here too for anyone that's interested :)
nb temps maxed out at 56C with all the bling attached. Personally, I think it's just that....bling.Quote:

Have to agree on that.Quote:

I had both the extreme and UD5, no difference that i saw besides the cooling, i put both boards side by side and looked at every component used, looked identical.
Mine maxed out ~54C with that huge extra heatsink attached and waterblock attached but no water going through.Quote:

That big thing on mine only made 1-2C difference with on vs off, even with fan hitting going through it.
You never got a X38-DQ6, the droop on the EX58 is quite good compared to the X38.Quote:

Nice clocks for the volts, what batch is this?Quote:

Regrettably I'll have to use air cooling since the Mrs. demanded I not have a repeat of an accident with the water. If anyone is interested I'll be using my old 1.8v 1600 7-7-7-20 ram, so I'll throw some feedback on whether or not I toast my new 940 with it.
Peace

I need that ram for another machine, so I bought the lower voltage one.
just make sure that Qpi/vtt - Vdram <0.5 and you'll be ok
