Your Gskill should be just fine. I run linked/sync with my a1. "1066 doesn't ring a bell."

Seems like a lot of volts just to do 3.0g. The 2 Quad B3's I tested did 3.0g on Abit IP35 1.24v real.

Like I said, I'm still learning the board as it has new features and I don't know what some of them are..LOL I will report back soon. BTW: Is having a lower VID better or worse?

Having a lower VID is typically better.

L723Z??? didn't know there was a Z available in current batchcodes

I only put it at that to be safe 'cos I knew it would run at that speed with them volts.

I'm running 24/7 at 3GHz with the default volts. I suspect I could even undervolt it and be able to run it stable. The G0's might not have increased the headroom that much, but it made for a lot more legspace for low level overclocks.

Sorry, replace the Z with an A. I went to my local Microcenter they have 20 on hand but they are B3s...:down:

I had mine at 3.33 Ghz with 1.28 vcore real. :)

The max overclock stable with 1.10 vcore real was 2.85 Ghz.

It's your CPU, but personally I wouldn't crank up the voltage till it was needed. No since in getting it use to
a lot of voltage, to my thinking it might get to liking it & need that kind of voltage all the time just to run 3.0g/3.3g stable.

I did have to crank up the voltage at 3.2 but only to 1.35v (real). This was on air with a cheap heatpipe cooler, room temp 26c/79F.

alo everyone

just received my G0 today, Batch L726A951 tray version.

so far it has pass prime95 at 3600ghz - 1,43v load and 1,44v idle on a P5K-E and 4x1GB TG Elite.

load

idle

also was trying to see if the cpu does the 4,0ghz and voila :yepp:

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5...idledt9.th.jpg

i think that it has more potencial, need to do more tests soon :)

Nice. I have similar rig but am having difficulty OC. Do you mind sharing all the BIOS setup info? TIA

TheWolf,
How do you set up Orthos to test all 4 cores? I tried running 2 Orthos but it still doesn't test all 4 cores

to run booth ORTHOS you need to open the task manager, go to "Processes" task and right click on the program (in this case the two instances of orthos) and click "set affinity", then it will show the 4 cores and just need to choose two cores for each instance.

otherwise for me at this point Prime95 and OCCT are better for test because it only need one instance to run the 4 cores.
