ok I'm tired of all thoose gigabyte scores - is ud3 similar in perf? Same options available as higher priced boards? if yes, I'm gonna get one asap - I always loved gb-boards for their lower priced boards which had almost the same capabilities as the bigger ones. think it is time to get back to the roots - you teased me enough, need to test it by myself :D
SoF idk if you can get the "special bios'" with ud3
If I wanna test UD3 - slaggy dinos needs to get me one :D
so this raises another question: which ones have "special bios" currently for sure?
he doesnt work for your local office :p:
you are working 24/7 all over the world, nobody told you yet?! :eek: :rofl:Quote:

Ask their CEO for special bios:D
ive only had a lot of experience with UD5 and UD7 and they are both the same petty much
i will get a UD3R soon and start working on that board to see where its at bios wise :up:
UD5 and UD7 are surely nice boards, but too expensive for the mass and "el cheapo suckers" like me :p: :D Let me know about UD3R, if you say it is ready to rock, I'll get one within' the same second ;)
Probly F8x have problem to scale >5.8G..unless cpu totally freq. limited. Most if not all of >5.8G runs were with the other boardQuote:

try using non-hypers and see if it will help push a bit more
he says he was testing at -80C and went from 5.7 to 5.83 from normal to subzero cooling

Wifey bought me a belated BD present, chip is kind of a pain but it's workable, I can deal with it.Quote:

oh really? happy birthday man, wife has golden hands it seems with a 5.5 chip straight up :D
Golden hands were actually mine, went to microcenter, bull :banana::banana::banana::banana:ted with a sales clerk about ocing for a while, slipped him a 20 spot and he let me look through like 100 chips.Quote:

crazy CPUs people :up:
Here's my best run from this chip. Absolutely maxed I'm afraid. :down:
With the CPU running -40oC on the SS unit, the ram didn't want to run with the 1866 or 2133 divider so it seems I'm lacking a few seconds because of my ram speed.
If you guys can get a run with same ram speeds and CPU speed I'd be interested in seeing your efficiency. :)
is there any newer BIOS out there then the F6 for the UD5 ?
F6 sucks, I'm not able to change Multiplier
stick to F5x until there is and copy it to backup bios as well with ALT+F12
