LOL This is a little off track but,
Mikesrex,
Your civic? If so damn low 10 q/mile f'n awesome ;D
Damn no way! I woulda figured the civic was left lane due to the high mph and slower q/mile time. Lack of traction.
You guys look like you do a crazy job, and that kind of time with that mph well much respect for the building skills of you guys ;) As build such a FWD that holds together and gets the power down is a feat and a half. I have a FWD Corolla i built years ago that does 14.03 @ 103mph on 225 street tyres and yeah that was hard enough even with LSD box to get power down.
I've seen a locally built civic here (in australia) run high 9s / low 10s and damn it was a sight to be seen a FWD with such massive slicks :D do such an impressive time!

New bios ud5 ed extreme. http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/giga...st-bios-28441/ :D
Quick Test with F5d on my Extreme. Nothing has changed for me and the reboot/shutdown issue (over 3.8GHz or 180BCLK) still exists...
Does ANYONE found out sth really useful in all these last beta bioses?
LOL
i found something useful :p:

F4N rocks :D
F5C worst bios i tried hehehe
yeah F4n is the best around but the mobo must evolve you know....
i guess stability in general,especially in high clocks & voltages situations...
except if UD5 is not out for this kind of usage...
btw my motherboard (UD3R) is on the F1 bios. I'm not sure if I want to flash it to newer. what do you guys think?
I just tried F4d for extreme, and it sucks just like F4 final, F5a, F5b, F5c...no overclocking beyond ~3.8 unless you like using reset every time you reboot or renter the bios, except the initial bootup to higher mhz. And if benching with any F5, clear cmos will be your friend.
I ran linpack 64 bit at 2 notches of vcore below stable using F5a-d, and all require the same Vcore for same Mhz as F4m or F4j, all crash/reboot before 10th run. The only change I can tell beyond F4m bios, is they have made overclocking so annoying in F4final to f5 betas that few would put up with it.
I wonder if I can flash my extreme to UD5, which I should have just bought in first place, their bioses could not be any worse.
I remembered that I had Wprime, this other program that utilizes all available threads. Had to increase the vcore a little bit for 200x20 stable, but here is the screen shot showing the min and max temp along with the Wprime results for 32M and 1024M

I'm thinking I now have enough vcore to turn the turbo on, and this setup will be stable at 4.2GHz for single-threaded apps and 4GHz for multi-threaded apps. what do you guys think?
depending on your bios, turbo may be on for multi threaded as well. Anything after f3 it will always stay on
I found wprime really easy to slip by on an otherwise horribly unstable system. Try something more ram intensive to find your sweet spot.
^ This for sure
Integrated memory controller is on the processor. It's a huge point of weakness that needs to be addressed before maximizing your overclocks. The cores are like a brick :banana::banana::banana::banana: house on the i7's, the IMC is not however and most of your instabilities will be caused by it.
which be why many people clock higher with the x6 mem multi :)
So another bios for the Extreme that still has the restart issues RGE? I'm just about ready to tie up this OC and resume gaming again when my other card comes, i feel i'll be on f4m for the rest of the board's days.
