Hello everyone :),

About one week ago i go to Taiwan for some GIGABYTE event " GIGABYTE Spring Break & Plug-fest 2008 ", on this event will have overclocker come from around the world for start and try to playing new GIGABYTE motherboard on Intel P45 chipset base so for all overclocker we are come from here Xtremesystems :up: all of the overclocker come from 15 country - Benelux, France, Poland, Estonia, Turkey, USA, Hong Kong, Romania, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Korea, Indonesia, Australia, Taiwan

So on this event GIGABYTE prepare LN2 for we about 360L for benching on two day :eek: and more more more device for playing :up:

OKay (my popular word :D) let's go to see for some activity on this event :D:D:D

btw. Thank you to GIGA-BYTE Technology for all :up:

Thanks for everything from all and nice to met everyone, hope one day we'll met again :)

Sorry for not good English but i think everyone will OKAY :)

looking good , thanks for sharing zolkorn.looks like theirs potencial in that board .

Hey zolkorn :D Thanks for sharing.

Did anyone have a chance to test with single-die chips? If so-How was the FSB?

How mature does the BIOS feel?

Thanks :D

K

What did Zolkorn say when he reached 500MHz FSB stable with the Q9300 ?

for bios feel i think it good than all old gigabyte mobo and some feature is we are needed long time waiting on Vcore setting it fine for setup after 1.6V about 0.025V for step :)

I'm OKay :D

Well I guess it's safe to say the NDA is over ;) I'll upload all the images I shot on the first day along with my own impressions soon. Was great meeting you :yepp:

Awsome, nice from Gigabyte to invite overclockers, but i dont really recognice many familiar faces.

Great pics and thanks for the info :)

great write up zolkorn,

not everyone that attended were overclockers, about half/half, alot of knowledge in that room though,

that park is a crazy dude!

It was rather great as it gave a lot of upcoming overclockers a chance to get some serious experience :cool:

Nice impressions, they should work on that known issues-list :p:
Q9300 500 Mhz FSB benchstable is veeery nice

Good Pics . :D
I'm waiting for mine for some tests. Pt1t give me some infos about this mobo ;)

I can see dinos22 ( not surely, pic's not showing everything but I think I see a part of his face :p: ), hicookie, zolkorn ( well...not see, but I can see him behind the camera :p: ) and the guy riding the LN2 dewar is Paul W. ( Sacha35 here if my memory serves me right ) from benchtech uk.

heheh yeah i was there

i'll post some photos in this thread later on
i've only got a couple of things on the card cause i didn't realise we were allowed to take cameras the first day
second day i was too busy benching at 5.5GHz on LN2 :D

Sure you wasn't to busy to do some screenshots? :rofl:
5.5 Ghz sounds good btw :D

yeah i have a few screens
but i only had some crappy 9600GT lol
will post later (wasn't sure we are allowed :confused: with Intel NDA and all lol)

they put our system together with some really random components >> we're talking like value RAM on one and 400W PSU, QX9650 with say 8800GT and then high end RAM, 3870, E6550 etc etc hehe

but we could request other stuff
i had a beefier PSU on the second day because i was benching at 2.0v on the QX9770 i had that i swapped with hicookie heh

i have to say i was very surprised how many quad cores were hitting 500MHz FSB
my board wasn't as good or i didn't hit the sweet spot but i was able to bench 3D under cold at 480MHz (and on air...didn't make much difference)...which is not bad at all hehehe.........actually i was booting in at 459*12 for my benchmarks

I love what's weite on the white-board -> Vcore can't change : Easytune can but not bios!

:D Really interesting stuff.

man that easytune software saved the day :D
works great and you can change a lot of things including voltages on the fly :D

hahahaha Pt1t you horny Belgian you :ROTF:

ET6 also works with the X48-DQ6, I brought home my HDD array and plugged it into the X48T and I could atleast do vid/vdimm adjustments :cool: Without ET6 I think we would have had to resort to figuring out hard mods :(

Removed for safety :cool:

Meh everyone showing benchmarks
I'll do some entertaining

First of all let's see how good mr.hot chicks is in action throwing what looks like some kind of break dance to teach his homies (pt1t & park) how it's done in taiwan :rotf::D

The dialect you guys speak is so different from Cantonese :( i guess i'll have to brush up on my Mandarin ;)

Wow, looks like you guys had one hell of a time there :up: :D Congrats to Gigabyte for organizing such an amazing event :clap:
Things that took me aback, while reading the thread :p: :

1) Hicookie's insulation method, really great :up:, and unusual I could say :p:
2) This friendly atmosphere between you guys, that's great :) All in all, benching is about having fun :)
3) This huge 180L liquid nitrogen dewar, but even more the photo where Thomas was riding it :p: :D
4) Dinos, that picture of yours with hixie's AMD cup :ROTF: And even more your comment ... hahahahaha :rofl:
5) It was very kind of Gigabyte, that guided you through Taiwan (which is btw amazing :eek: Especially taipei 101 :eek2:)
6) Last but not least, I must say that Karen is HOT ! :yepp: :D

Best Regards,
George :)

Yes, he gets one of his aussie mates to send him blue tack every so often :D
BTW, does this thread seem to be more and more off topic. Karen and vaseline seems to pop up a little too often ;)

Uploading just under a terabyte of pictures, then I'll post some of my pictures of the even. Need something faster than 384kbit upload :down:

Yep ;)

aaarg ! so bad I haven't been able to confirm my flight for the press event :(... Seem that you have had a lot of fun \o/

Finally wrote up a post on the trip. I've included a video of the hotel rooms we stayed in, sweet rooms with awesome bathrooms :cool: Sadly XS doesn't support HTML -> BBCode and embedded objects so you'll have to click through, video is @ top of post.

Here's a snippet of the post :up:

Work
The main purpose of my stay in Taipei was testing upcoming P45 based motherboards. Gigabyte had their P45-DS3R, P45-DS4, and P45-DS5 available for us to test. We performed all our testing in a large conference room at the Gigabyte headquarters in Taipei. In addition to simply testing the boards, Gigabyte board and BIOS engineers were on call to answer our questions and ask questions themselves. While benching we discovered a couple of issues with the BIOS and stability but we swiftly located the problems and helped the engineers pinpoint solutions. I think while we were there we went through nearly a dozen BIOS revisions and I imagine before launch the BIOS will receive even more revisions to perfect it.

I call it work above but honestly this was more like play. We had 300 liters of liquid nitrogen and nearly 20kg of dry ice available to us. On reflection this was way too much cooling, perhaps if I had been benching GPUs and CPUs I would have been able to chew through 60 liters myself but with just my CPU I only used maybe 20 liters. This was my first time benching with liquid nitrogen so I was very careful until I spilled a cup all over my board and realized it wasn't super lethal. I had a lot of fun benching with liquid nitrogen but all through the day I missed my cascade. With a cascade I simply hit a switch and it gets cold. With LN2 I had to constantly monitor the pot temperatures and feed it little splashes of nitrogen. I'll take my humming compressors any day!

Killed this board :( Insulation leak + 3 hours of LN2 = zap.

First time benching LN2, I couldn't resist a staged glamor shot :cool:

Were all the boards tested definitive revision 1.0?

really nice event guys, respect to gigabyte for this... more companys could learn about it how they handling overclockers...
looks all of you had a lot of fun, but im really curious to the results :) P45 is still under NDA, or could you share some results?

Benches are under strict NDA.

As for the hotel, Lake Hotel is really nice and i enjoy the location away from the crazy hustle and bustle in the CBD. While your room was reasonably small, ive actually benched with Hicookie in the same room and 180L LN2 tank heh.
Other rooms in the Lake Hotel i normally stay in are generously sized with two areas, and a massive spa in the bathroom instead of that tiny bath.
Fortunately all room sizes come with robo-toilet-2000 and its lush heated seat :D

Did any of you figure out the "secret" code for channel 15-16? ;)
Or did Hicookie just tell everyone haha

It's easy to handle overclockers, all we need is an unlimited supply of LN2 and alcoholic beverages :rofl:

The baths really depends on which room you got, i got a bamboo tube :rolleyes: excellent for two tho ;)
If i remember correctly my channel 15 & 16 was not locked :p:

Locked in the room, unlocked by default in the bathroom ;)

Creepy?

What i like best about the locaiton of the hotel is the quick stroll down the hill to the 711 and or the 3 story cafe at the end of the bridge.
So many hangovers spent drooling on a table down there..... :)

Did anyone walk up the road with the hotel to the Temple
Took some great panoramas from the 4th floor of it with all of taipei and even 101 laid out in front.
WIll try to remember to post something tonight.

Mine was unlocked in both!
We went to the 3 story cafe on the first night, the second night Hicookie wanted to take us to some bar, after the short subway ride we walked for about 30mins. Hicookie kept saying 5 more mins :rofl:
You really should have seen Park and Thomas on the last night, they were quite..... happy with all the ladies;)

Ahh nice to see pics finally from you guys :)
Many new faces from last GB event I attended in Jakarta, Indonesia.
I am sure you all enjoyed the new tech. Hoping next time I am in too :P

Fun, i saw the video gom have up from the hotel room and the first thing i though about was the pictures u have shoved while benching and the view over the sea/lake and bridge...

The temple do also look quite nice...

That temple is beautiful, Buddhist I assume?

Agreed Ndre.. when will we be able to get this board :)
also I see some of Benny appearance first page .. :)

Great thread guys! Nice of GB to set this up, makes me want to try out their P45 board knowing they're willing to invest in getting some of your input.. Looking forward to see the results - good luck.

If thats the case, grab an X48-DQ6 board because there was a huge investment of input in that too.

I'm going to be using Wofdales only no quad action. Does that change the recommendation at all? I can get really high FSB with the P35 and I'm hoping P45 does similar, but with even more voltage control and stability.

I have an X48 DS5, how much difference is it compared with an X48 DQ6?
They appear exactly the same, can I expect the same?
