Oh yeah.... GIGABYTE X58A-OC

Quick bench (literally an hour) with the new GIGABYTE X58A-OC....

No CB with triple channel with vtt lower then 1.45

Chip really doesn't like vtt higher.. raises cb.

Stay tuned,

Can anyone tell me how the X16 slots 1 and 3 behave electrically if they are combined with X1 cards in slots 2 and 4? Do they still run at X16? I asked this in the other thread but no answer.

Hi mate

If you have all 4x slots populated the bandwidth will drop down to 8x on all slots OK no matter that slots 2 and 4 will only use 1x.

If you have say SLOT1 with a GPU and you plug in a raid card and sound card say in slot3 and 4 you will still get full 16x bandwidth in slot1 for the GPU, it will not drop to 8x

I'm wondering how different this board is compared to other (R3E/UD9/Class). Is there any progress in CB/CBB?

32m would be pretty sick at these clocks.. I'm planning on 3d though.. and another round of some more efficient short 2D..

Need to pick up some more LN2 though..

The board is a dream to work with... OC Touch with multi and bclk, make it pretty easy to find max clocks...

Stay tuned...

Waiting to see the final scores!

lol.. was bored.. trying something new... I like to change it up.. plus I couldn't find some hardware for your pot.... rofl.... I honestly was a little lazy.. and trying to get sometime on the board...

I need to reinsulate it today and get some tim.. :)

Thanks :)

Nothing wrong with team japan style mounting right? I think it's a great way to be able to tighten down the pot harder once you've gone cold. Never used it though.

Its actually a very nice way to tighten down.. the only problem is that it does become an obstruction in the way... plus the big screw I use is pretty crappy.. If I had a nice mount like those guys.. it would be much better...

Now that makes me wish to get this board. With such features and no CB, and a pretty down to earth price, I say Gigabyte should add it in all their boards, :D

We have a policy of sharing golden chips, Steponz havent yet come forward to do it hence the negative remark from Kal....We all are pissed off at him, :rofl:

Lol, I think you miss the point of hating, hating is when you want what is on someone elses plate, and I'm quite happy with my meal thanks

In fact, hating is an excellent description of your normal attitude mate,

me? Im just an a$$hole by nature, and I best stop derailing steps thread, sorry dude

Gah, sad tone guys...
I am a bit stuck in the middle here.... I disagree with yp as for the "sharing" policy... I think it should be more open, but looong talk, not for this thread...
Be that MSI' Extreme Afterburner, or GBT/ASUS/MSI BIOS'....

Best wishes for Steponz.

Looks a monster CPU,,,,
Great job....
Why did you use Cas8 to a RAM...
Improve RAM performance gave you some issue??? (RAM Looks Elpida Hyper ADAta 2200C8)

Keep pushing.....now i am sure you can fly with this CPU and board :up:

Did is the Gigabyte has confirmed that it intends to introduce full UEFI implementations (friendly graphical interface with 1024x768 resolution,support mouse,more languages - Asus efi bios currently support 6 languages ,Msi efi bios support 15 languages and other efi features )) to their bios the socket 1155, AM3 + and future sockets ??? because for now uses it hybrid efi bios.
http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.com/20...37625918667235
quotation from page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3761#ov
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.
one could surely do with the Bios would be chip version of the classic elements of efi bios and full efi bios with support for mouse-friendly graphical user interface, support for multiple languages.
Did Gigabyte hybrid efi bios, running in 32-bit or 64 bit mode and is immediately available to boot the system, all memory. If your motherboard bios P67 B3 operates in 16 bit mode and is available for the latter only 1 MB of memory??

lol.. my chip will have minty fresh breath.....:ROTF:

Just picked up 30 liters... had a different chip die and a horrible 980x... knew it was bad ahead of time... just making sure board was still ok under cold... Which it is.. thought originally the board died.. definitely just the chip..

bumped the uncore on a 990.. and boom.. chip didn't like it too much... seems like other 980's I have had....

This bad boy is going to be pushed in 2d.... pifast.. 32m...1m... maybe some quick 05 also... no ln2 on gpu.. thats tomorrow....
