Nice results!

And lovely pics. :D

Absolutely gorgeous! :clap:

It's OEM - seems to be a batch no one else has as a result of this.

I cannot get temps down to decent levels w/ HT on sadly.
I was getting too hot @ lower vcore @ 4.15 GHz even, so i'm not going...

Sorry teach, i've got it now. :up:

Batch is B: 3938B268

Where i'm from, it's not even close between P55 & X58.
Decent OCing X58 mobos are $200+ vs. $150 P55s.

Then there the fact that not everyone needs an 8 thread CPU.

i5 750 OCed is easily the...

3rd party ads got hacked actually, not Anandtech per say.

Outstanding. :D

Not bad! :)

Beastly setup. :D

Uh, 772 MB of RAM being stressed?

As in, none, basically.

I assume that OC is nowhere close to stable, as you need to actually be utilizing some RAM to stress things w/ LinX.

Try max RAM.

And why are you not Memtesting to confirm faultiness & then RMA?

God no.

I gladly got rid of my CRT many many years ago, back when $500 was a hot deal for a 17" LCD :)

Seriously?

I've found the exact opposite to be true for my Q9550/Q9650/i5 750/i7 860.

For me, LinX max RAM always requires more vcore than P95 anything.
I've always used the x64 version yes,...

Well, after much fighting, it's obvious i cannot do 4 GHz LinX stable due as i'd need more vcore than my temps allow for.

Kinda disappointing, as i could do 4.15 GHz LinX stable w/ my i5 750, but...

My i5 750 was so easy to OC compared to my new i7 860.

Temps are way higher at similar vcore due to HT, & once again, what's stable in P95 isn't remotely stable in LinX.

For both my i5 750 &...

It seems the i7s need much higher VTT than the i5s.

Very nice!

Screenies?

Absolutely. RAM has a pretty big effect in LinX scores, as you've discovered.

Not really...you've got a long way before it hits throttling temps.

Well, this thread title says it's for the "A" boards, which are the new ones w/ USB3/SATA3.

Far more people own the non-A boards, we're just not posting in this thread.

Here's the i5 OCing...

LinX/IBT @ max RAM setting for maximum CPU stress, as well as very good for RAM.

P95 small ffts for CPU; useless for anything else.
P95 large ffts does stress some RAM & generally the mobo...

My i5-750 hits a big LinX wall @ my 4.16 GHz speed.

Needs WAY more vcore to get anywhere higher stably.
I've had it doing 4.4 GHz (not tried higher), but as i mentioned, for LinX stability,...

Nice numbers. :cool:
