Been using my GTX295 for awhile now (read: bit over 1 year) at max OC on water with just over stock vcore. I was getting the feeling I wanted to upgrade, but I didn't feel like I'd really worked the card enough and I certainly don't need to upgrade until I see what DX11 brings to various titles. Looking at the results from the guys with GTX 580's I thought that given enough clocks, the GTX295 should be able to keep up.
Volt modded it to 1.19v load, cooling still EK FC295 with cores now 42*C idle, reaching 51*C in ~26*C ambient under max load.
Final stable clocks:
Core= 774 MHz
Shader= 1692 MHz
Mem= 1242 MHz (2484 MHz effective)
Benches with CPU @ 3996 MHz | 1.112 vcore | 3575 MHz uncore |1682 MHz 7-7-7-21 :
3D Mark 03

No Vantage as 3D mark 11 corrupted it and I cbf fixing it yet. Stupid futuremark not testing before release. You get the idea though. This card is still fast when pushed!
If you have a GTX580 and want to run some comparison runs go ahead it would be interesting to see.
Did some BCLK testing today. Got some interesting results and PB's on this board. All results were boot from BIOS.
230 BCLK

235 BCLK

240 BCLK

So I thought I'd test how stable that was with my favourite 2D test, SPI32M. Results as follows:
SPI32M @ 230 BCLK

Nice results cryptik
What was your IOH and ICH volts?
Before i purchased this board i had the choice between this and the ud5, everyone was saying take the ud5, but for some reason, i have always wanted to own a rampage and it was a good choice
Im trying to flashback from the 19 bios to the 1504 bios, I cant find the right version of afudos the support the pbnc/n command :(
Thanks. IOH was 1.35v BIOS set and ICH was at default voltage. The UD5 is a good board from what I've seen. I have kept a copy of 1504 on one BIOS chip so I can flash it over the other BIOS chip (I use BIOS2 for testing new ones and keep a low numbered BIOS on BIOS1 to avoid that ridiculous 'can't downgrade' issue).
LOLS, i did just this :)Quote:

Cheers for a such a great thread.
EDIT: I also discovered the 1504 reports temps alot higher than the 1913 bios at the same Voltage and cpu speed, im getting about a 20 degree difference, Anyone notice this?
My temps report the same, and from my testing voltage requirements are also the same between BIOSes.
Because of what I do with the 2 BIOS chips re: BIOS versions, I have not needed AFUDOS as yet. Whatever you're most comfortable with is fine, both techniques get the job done.
Fair enough, maybe its cause im on phase, its a different story with voltages and temps, think the evapo head needs a reseat.Quote:

I cant believe the difference in stability compared to the 1913, i need 1.525 qpi to run ram at 2000mhz now all i need is 1.475. I found lower timings are always better when compared to 2000mhz at 1.5qpi.
Just finding a balance between electicity use and performance :P, last electricity bill came to 500 plus dollars for just 3 people in a unit, lols, all my fault cause i need a air con to cool the room down when im gaming cause of the heat from the cascade and pc.
Anyone know if ther eis a proggy other than cpu tweaker which would allow me to change sub timings and cpu multiplier within windows? Turbo v is good, but its limited :(

This is my highest oc so far, im sure it can go more, this is prime stable by the way, i can boot into windows higher around 4.7-4.8 but its not stable.
Ugh, electricity prices in NSW are crazy. They increased it what 20-30% under the guise of 'upgrading infrastructure' then the government re-appropriated the money and spent it on other things, then said they would raise prices again to cover the infrastructure. Appalling. Perhaps you should move to water, you can still have great temps (on your VGA's too) with much less noise and less power consumption.Quote:

QPI DATA LINK RATE: SLOW MODE (this must be in slow mode when link rate is over 8000 MT/s, or my board wont post. I have verified this at various BCLKs bumping up QPI speed to next settings. As soon as its over 8000 it just flakes out. Seems the R3E's can handle this and can run up to ~8300 MT/s so they can hit 230 BCLK without using slow mode.
Looking good, at low res you are more CPU limited than card limited. Try default res of 1280x1024 at least, or a real game demo bench at that res or higher and you should see a bigger difference.Quote:

might have a problem with my seasonic psu, when i run everything stock 5 volt line reads 4.91 and 4.88 under load, but when i revert back to 4.5ghz and stress test, 5volt line drops to 4.75 - 4.70 sometimes hits 4.65v and crashes, i can stress test with 6 threads but anything above that screen freezes and have reset teh system
I read somewhere that the 5v line should not drop below 4.8v, anything below 4.8v would cause instability? Im going from memory on this, i did a couple of google searches and the numbers vary?
But with the above 4.5ghz settings i can play bc2 and any other game, but i soon as i load IBT with 8threads, system freezes, I have a feeling the psu is the culprit :( Its a 750watt season m12, i thought it might be enough. Running 6 hard drives, 2x5850s and 5 case fans.
Is that measuring with a DMM or software? I wouldn't trust software.
With software, you think 750watt is sufficient? its a modular high quality psu.Quote:

EDIT:
I figured out the problem, i forgot i reflashed back to to the 1904 bios ffs lols, now im back on the 1504 and system is stable again at 4.5ghz, why is the 1904 so crap for? i dont get it how they can mess something up so bad, they update the cpu support list within the bios and you loose 200mhz on your oc? Go figure.
anyone have any ideas?Quote:

Thanks for the post!Quote:

I'm seeing the same thing with the QPI at about ~8000MT/s with my 970, the board will not POST. I used slow mode as you did and the board would POST and boot into windows at 184 bclk, but everything seemed REALLY sluggish from the second the board POSTed all the way into desktop.
In addition to this, I also had to the change the CPU skew and the IOH skew to delay like you mentioned. Changing the slow mode alone would not allow my board to post over 181 bclk....
I'm trying a different 970 today to see if it's the board or the CPU that I'm having problems with.
If you are reaching ~8000 MT/s with 184 BCLK, the QPI Link data rate setting is in the middle (not the freq above slow mode but the one above that). There's SLOW MODE, then 3 frequency choices - set this to the lowest frequency choice (the one above slow mode). This should let you get to around 220 BCLK before hitting 8000 MT/s.
thanks sano . some ram test. hows this ram guys :)

just wana keep this thread alive :)
if i put my graphic card in 8x last slot what impect going to be on gaming or performance>
com on guys u all just disappiers.
sorry for my bad english.........
1-2% i guess...Quote:
