The Dragon Returns_Giga 890FXA-UD7+1090T @ 4.9GHz Validated & PI1m Sub 15s on Air

Excellent efficiency & stability can be easily found in this board
The F2 bios has no jumping CPU/HT/NB freq. or bouncing Vcore/NB Volt. Whatsoever
It’s never been easy producing a nice MB & its’ bios to cater for a newly released 6 core CPU. The R&D Team has done a great job on this one.

As a Giga fan myself, I’m very happy to see this amazing performance
The 6 PCIe gives ppl a bonus. When you need them, they’re there @ your service

Keep up the good work, Gigabyte !!!

3300 NB + 1888 C6 = 13201 read & 10998 write. The Max I could reach on air

3DM06 @ 4.4GHz = 8505 CPU score. What can I say?
http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...wk345/4-12.jpg


4.634GHz under ambient 20c gave me a PI1m @ 14.703s
http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...lwk345/5-8.jpg


With stable freq.& volt., I could easily hit 4.9GHz on air @ 2nd try

Holy popcorn brother! You make it look so easy. :)

That is one very fine cpu you've got there. Seems like everything comes together nicely in that Giga board. Great job Mad, respect! :up:

Nice one mad222! U have good cpu there, here is what i got with fast test:
http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/305/suppa1m14984.jpg

That was 27c ambient and with thermalright ultra cooler.

Mad congrats, great numbers almost 5ghz :eek: :clap:
By the way, is that fan pecifications looks like a good fan. :yepp:

exellent mobo!!
can run these memorys at 2000Mhz in this mobo?

Sick, I can only do a max of 4500Mhz with the new F2 BIOS, before that I could only do 4300Mhz.

Mad, you left the water block on the NB instead of the passive cooler they ship .. does this affect anything much ?

I've got this board in it's box ready to be installed and I think the silent pipe cooler is total overkill

Othe rthan that .. SWeeT Numbers there man !

Madd, any thoughts on the 32m effeciency?

MAD: perfect, what series and SN :clap:!!! Your superpi 1M is hard! Can u test for me max AIR Cinebench? Im interesting for, if my chip is +- as good as yours...I can run Cinebenchs with +- 1.5V at 4380 MHz with AIR, 3D06 at 4470 MHz to time:). And last wish, test please max stability clock with air (LinX 20 rounds or 1-3h prime blend). Next week i must try more than 4800 MHz too :D

Awesome results Mad.
Alittle of topic but what single slot gpu is that in the first pic?

wow
very nice chip
4.9GHz on air..
I'd damn happy if my Phenom II x3 720BE could stable at 3.6GHz @ 1.475Vcore....

Nice hardware combination, isn't it ?!:D

Oh...it's nice on ambient 27c. Hey, push harder & share more of your best scores with us:up:

It's a HKD 45 dollar fan "AVC" around 3000 rpm & it's good
Actually, the Yasya CPU Cooler doesn't need any high speed fan
So I gave up on the cutting-finger "Delta"

Frankly, no...
I think giga is working on it. Hope they can succeed:)

It'll help a little using that cooler with a fan

Didn't try much on 32m. But surely the efficiency was lower than I expected with high NB on diff. MBs.
Are you thinking of the ram divider stuff ?

Yes, Sir !:D
It's my same old chip
Flanker, keep pushing! you're getting very close to the top of the list, Bro.
Can't promise you on this one as I have other MBs to test with

BTW, haven't seen "Cele" for a long time. Anyone knows how he's been doing ?

Mad222,great chip,and awesome results you got.
that board looks like the board i want for when i get a thuban
i love gigabyte and this one seems to be a monster

the bus speed how fast can you push it? whats the highest

Mad, do you have a 64bit OS? I'd like to see how far you could push it on a 64bit OS. People might disagree but i'm pretty sure a 64bit OS is much harder for overclocking i.e. requires more volts.

Actually that might be it. Try 1333 divider at 270+ bus.

would like to know how the eff is aswell :)

That is one sexy board, I'm liking it more and more the more I see it. I REALLY think I should import one now :(

man nice results with air!

I've been waiting for it a long long time:D

Not yet tested...I supposed anything up to 380 on air wouldn't be a problem with giga

64bits ?! no, I dun ATM. 32bits XP is surely the easiest OS. However, if 64 bits is properly trimmed, I think it wouldn't have much diff. for CPUZ;)

sick already 5ghz?. i want it :)

nice oc :up: giga looks nice

any mates herer can compare this board with UD5? any difference?

Holy cow !!!
Very nice Air result with 1090T Mad

Looks like it will be hard for AMD fan to choose between Crosshair IV and 890GFXA :)

sweet chip :toast:

nice update!!!4674 MHz run superpi 1.54V, uffff.

Well ..

my UD7 arrived and I have just finished my first watercooling project

here's a pic of it (please excuse my cable management .. not doing any more until the waterblocks for the GPU's arrive)

http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...h_IMG_0142.jpg

now to Pick your brainz for some OC-ing advice

have fun y'all

MAD:today posted Cele at xtremesystems :), he is live :)

Hi Mad, my friend!

Great job as always, I'm sorry I haven't seen your thread before... I'm out of computer business, big changes in my life so no more chips from me to show...

I'm glad you kick asses like always... :up:

Back to your motherboard, it is really impressive for new comer motherboard to have such a cool effiency, my old Giga was just little better but I'm sure in short time UD7 will be superb!

Nice PP comparison :)

http://i45.tinypic.com/2i0ps9x.jpg

What's that "out of computer business" Eric? :(

Other hobby?

MAD:fighting with you and Chew is for me impossible :-)....little step up, with 1.55V now.

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1216556

I'm really sorry to hear that, Eric:(
Whatever you do, my best of luck to you, Bro.
You're & will always be one of the best AMD kick ass hunters in my mind... :up::up::up:
As you know, I'm not in the computer business & I still kick asses;)
So dun forget to play AMD, show up here & kick some asses together sometimes when you're free, OK ?

Wish him good luck, Bro.

That's an improvement...dun give up, Flankerp
If I can do it, you can do it:up:

My suicidal push to 4.949GHz @ 1.648v
For the extra 47MHz, I almost killed my chip:lol2::slapass:

mad: cool, i have fear for higher voltage,know, its only validation, but Thuban is Thuban :)...to time i have only one :-). Did u seen Chews air validation?:)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&postcount=17

Of course i wish Eric all the very best in whatever he decides to do, i just feel sorry not seeing him around here any more.

You guys are going crazy with your validations, closing in on 5G now! :eek: My chip isn't half as good. :(

Yes, we all do !
What batch of your 1090T ?

Last shot for 1090T Air. Big brother Chew has been doing too damn well on this. I've got no choice !:D

http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/a...45/4966GHz.jpg

:shocked::shocked:

:up:

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so close to 5GHz on air!!

Stellar work Mad! Wondering for how long you will hold the lead. :)

MAD: i have not words :), whau for you :-). And i hope, this is not last 1090T AIR ! Can u try pls LInX at 4300MHz + with this chip? Only 20 rounds, its about 17-20minutes. Maybe today later (now im at work, and not much working, bcause this forum is as drugs :D) can i try some benchmarks too :).

Great run on air Mad!! Just when i was able to get 14.8sek, then u post this -.- Mine chip cant do this in this kind of weather! What was ur ambient temp? :)

Working hard pays !;)

That was 17c. The weather is very humid in Hong Kong now. I must turn on the air condition using 5 delta 3800 rpm in order to do this or I just can't even hit 4.9GHz. Outside temp. is around 30c...killing me !

Great clocks Mad222:up: deserves a bump :D
My clocks are a bit more modest :shrug:
* Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 Living Review

Some jaw dropping scores there Mad on air, superb mate. just mind boggling.

whats new MAD? Have time for tetsing Thubans or now only for "blue" CPUs? :(

Wow...that's a hell of a thread, excellent review there:up:
Good forum !

Bro. I'm done with 530 & back to AMD
Started to test a few new chips & begin to play with MSI GD70
Here's the last test on 890FXA-UD7 on air for now
4.5GHz boot straight into Windows
Check out the volt. & freq., NO bouncing !:up:
Set Vcore 1.55v in bios & got the same in windows.....no jumping around
I'll do some LN2 benching when I receive my new SUPER pots:D
