Nice overclock guys. Looks very impressive, I'm still waiting for a new mature BIOS for thus motherboard to get stable higher overclocks.
MSIMAX, what is your max AIR validation?I cant validation up 4050MHz :(...
i dont have a good air cooler at the moment
any chance of some of those overdrive screenshots? id really like to see the performance control / memory screens.
My System is Awesome :up:
Hey MSIMax - Nice runs you have there.. was that on DICE? I see the F1, but couldn't tell what you had in the pot.
My board arrived.. and so did 160L of LN2 :) Going to see how this board does, while I wait for my MSI boards to come back :P

Does Anyone know when the new bios is coming out!
yeah i used dice f1 does well with it too
Time to make the donuts man. Hardware arrives in a few days.......my drive that has trillian on it is waiting to be shipped........Hopefully you almost have your car situation straightened out.
almost lol
13hrs in and i still have a half bag left , i will hopefully get a 1800 6-6-6 32m run in

The force is getting strong within this one.
You've got what it takes man you just needed some slight guidance in ram tuning, a port 80 card :ROTF: and a little push ;) seems to be working :D
Now to apply it to LN2 benching in the next week or so with the Ln2 Pot to end all Ln2 Pots for PH II.
i had to slack tras and trc other wise i would get random errors test 7 everything else was virgin tight, the imc was begging for mercy and if i can get my hands on some hypers binned for 7-8-7 might make a diff. the giga gave the patented 1 time hail mary run for wprime after that was just fighting heat and ran out of dice so till next time
Wow.. those speeds on your ram is awesome :) Very impressive. Going to gargage in a bit. i have two 955 I have to screen really fast. Have no idea how good they are :( I am focusing on 3D06 stable.. so won't be eaching much Pi for the next few days.

thank u titon:up: i await your results
So, yes I am getting anxious waiting for the new bios. So much that I tried the most recent and I was able to get an extra 200MHZ on XP Sp3 but of course with only 3 cores....any news yet?
Same ere just thought by now the new bios would be here!
Suddenly Gigabyte is taking its sweet time and making me desperate! :(
I haven't had time to test it thats part of the issue, I also have not been pushing them because F3L works fine ( if its not broke don't fix it ).......If adding the feature to unlock cpu's causes issues for cpu's that have 4 cores from the factory the bios will not get my approval........Msimax has both and has shifted back to F3L, I have been breaking records left and right on F3L.......things that make you go hmmmmmm.
Right now I have more pressing matters......for instance the current ddr 2 bios does not even work correctly with retail 955's..........that takes priority, I just got a replacement board so that is first on the list.....then I have some hardcore benching and research I need to do.........that is also a priority as time is of the essence....
Once that is done I will test unlocking and see if anything decides to die......
I would be happy you have a bios that works really well when running your retail part way above factory specs and clocks ram really well without killing any hardware ;). Alot of time, energy and hardware was killed to get to this point.
New Bios Here F3K

Thank God Gigabyte came out with a new bios that enables 4cores and tweaks memory!

1st Impressions are its alot better than F3B in the memory department and seems alot faster!
