My 3DMVa gpu scores are at least 200 points lower with this board though compared to the striker extreme. This makes me very suspicious because I know when the 750i FTW first came out, there was some confusion as to whether the pci-e2.0 slots were 8x/8x or 16x/16x in SLI. Was that ever confirmed?
The Mushkin pc8500 is also sitting nicely at 1066 with 2.075v whereas on the striker it wouldn't go beyond 889 on 2.1v.
Gonna keep the 750iFTW for this machine before starting the i7 build in the spring, but just for kicks I'm gonna drop the striker back in and move it to 1504 bios from 1303 and see if that has any significant impact. OPinions?
@officermartinez- Do you know the guys at Parts'n'PCs on 580? My uncle used to own that shop before retiring to Mexico a few years ago. Craig still runs it I believe, just wondering how they're doing.
On 580? Hmmmm.. I'm familiar with a "SPUR 280" and a "HWY 80" ..I believe you might be referring to HWY 80 (which is also known as Camp Bowie Blvd). I remember seeing the shop there but I haven't been inside. Maybe when I retire from Law Enforcement, I will open my own little PC store.. Ahhhhh, the American Dream.. :up:Quote:

I thought it was 580, but yes Camp Bowie is the road. Check them out. Like I said, Craig is the guy who owns it now (I'm pretty sure). Good guys.
@loser777- Why'd you have to RMA your 750i? I was gonna do one of the P5Q boards instead but, need both my 8800GTs functional for gaming, hence the 750i.
Video Corruption, and 6-phase bugged me.
I'm curious about the six phase power. How does that affect the performance aside from efficiency?
Quad-core overclocking.
Guys, I have a good L737B q6600 but Im looking for a nice mobo for it , would you guys get :
1. P5E then rampage it ?
2. P5Q PRO ?
3. other ? specify ...
Any help would be great.
:up:
I heard speaking well of the Asus Maximus II Formula...
Someone was asking about Q6700's a minute ago. I have a Q6700 with a VID of 1.2875, and the Batch # is L724A416.. an L724. Not bad. but not the beloved L737.. right.
This chip was decent for me, I was able to get 3.33 Ghz with Stock Voltage, but then needed a big increase to get over 3.4 Ghz. 3.5 Came easily, but to get Stable on 3.6 Ghz was hard as hell, took me weeks to get it there, learning all I could, messing down to the T on the GTLREF settings, all that. and finally I was able to get 3.6 Ghz stable with 1.46v and I was able to hit 3.7 Ghz with 1.48v on my Q6700. I never was able to actually load into 3.8 Ghz even at 1.495v.. I never went to 1.5 though.. lol. I ran it 24/7 at 3.66 Ghz 1.47v and temps were around 38-40c idle, and 58c Load on it. Pretty decent.
I actually just tonight traded my Q6700 1.2875 vid, Batch #L724A tonight.. for a Q6600, to a Dell owner that Can't BIOS OC, doing Pin Mods. He traded me his Q6600, 1.2125vid with a L737B730 batch that hit 3.6 Ghz with 1.432v on a ghetto Roswell cooler, +$50 Cash..
yea, so basically I gave him my Q6700, for his Q6600+$50 Cash.. I needed the cash, plus I still have a good Quad as my backup. I figured what the hell, might as well.
they are good chips, but i sure LOVE my Q9650. :)
My Q6600 24/7 :):

Very nice 24/7 overclock :clap:
What temps is that Q6600 running at?
I should be able to run 4.1GHz 24/7 when my phase change is here :D
I recommend the Gigabyte UD3P.Quote:

More like 4500mhz if you can already run 4ghz and 4100mhz on air with low vcore.Quote:

Bearing in mind using phase your gonna need better NB cooling since it'll be climbing and will most likely require more voltage aswell to stabilise.
I can run 4.1GHz with 1.55vcore, so I might push it higher, i'll seen when I get it.
Also i'm going 2 have a 12cm 133CFM Scythe Ultra Kaze fan blowing on my NB and on my MOFSETs :D and if the temps are still to high i'll get a Thermalright HR-05 IFX.
I fitted a new cold air feed today and upped voltage to NB fan to 18v from 15v :up:
Haven't messed with higher vcore today yet, but it's -3c out atm so if it goes down some in the next few hrs I'll try for higher.
Able to boot to windows and run Pi1m at 4ghz with 1.41v :)

It's a bummer this P5K-E has no NB temp probe but.....what can you do.
Wow 1.41vcore :clap: - thats a awesome chip.
i thought mine at 3.8 1.55vcore was ok lol good work guys :)
ah well, it only went to -4c out last night.....this was best I could do. Had to reduce memory to 1:1 hence slow Pi :( Gonna start feeding more voltage now and try to stabilise.

The situation at the moment. 24/7 clocks..
There may be a bit too much voltage for the CPU because I just put 1,53V and started gaming and testing stability without testing if it's stable with lower voltage.
Got a TRUE & 2 70CFM Enermax 120's coming on tues, Gonna try see If theres any way of getting 3.6 Stable.
If not im interested in picking up a Q9550 :yepp:
I have:
Q6600
Asus P5Q Pro
Kingmax 2x2GB ddr800(default settings all the time)
OCZ Modstream 520W
I have two Q6600 G0 1.23 VID and both of them work on default voltage at 3ghz(333x9) Prime95 stable. First one works stable on 400x8 3.2Ghz with minimum voltage raise, other one won't make stable 3.2Ghz whatever I adjust. It's strange, what settings should I adjust?
Thanks.
sub 12s :)
<< very happy :yepp:
Very nice KELL5
