I've only just seen this thread after my unsuccessful attempts to mount my EK280 block without insane temps eventually resulted in me killing the card.

I've now since got a 4870X2 and I wonder if...

It looks like this platform will fully realise the potential of DDR3! Seems we are going to see another quantum leap in performance.

I don't suppose if anyone can find out if there are any hidden bios settings for these boards, particularly the DQ6?

I don't know a right lot about bios editing.

Looks like we'll never know as guess2098 seems to have been banned for some reason.:confused:

I think I'll wait untill it is available somewhere else!

Thanks, on the face of it they look similar. I cannot be sure because I'm using the free version of everest which doesn't let me see the SPD. I read mine using SPD tool.

I have 2x1gb D9GMH based OCZ 7200 Plats that are surplus to requirements, but I fitted Thermalright Ram coolers. You may struggle to fit them with 4 Dimms installed. I'm also in the UK, but PM me...

I'd like to see a SPD dump of this ram, I'd like to compare it to my 8800pi kit.

It's a pity you didn't suggest them before I bought these, lol.

I've settled on 440x9 with the ram at 4:5 giving me 1100 exactly and 3.96Ghz too.

It'll keep me going until Nehalem!

1140 seems to be the practical limit for me without having to lower my CPU and bus overclock. I'm satisfied, what I've lost in benching performance, I've gained in real-world performance.

I've...

lol, I wasn't there. If I was you'd have known about it!:ROTF:

I'm a mere mortal who has to buy his hardware. I don't get to have a go at stuff like this :(

Well, I've got them.

They fired straight up at 570 (1140) with 2 volts on the dimms. I'm "borrowing" a few settings from the G.skill PI9600 thread and going to try to get back upto 1188 with 2.1v...

Fugger made me laugh in that video. I can't believe he said he was going to pour LN2 on his "parts" :rofl::rofl::rofl:

OCUK are just a bunch of thieves, another dissatisfied customer!

Nice core speed then, mine tops out around 830.

Nice, what cooling on the 4870X2?

I've ordered the G.skill 8800's. Fingers crossed!

I'd Aircool the Flex. Aluminium doesn't go in my loops!

lol, thanks for rubbing it in, there is only one place in the UK selling these and they have no stock.

I'll be making my purchase tomorrow, I'm thinking of either the OCZ Flex or the G.skill 8800s...

Nice comparison, it's made my mind up not to do anymore upgrading until Nehalem is out.

I wouldn't be happy running crossfire with those cards for any length of time given the very limited...

I would get some 9600s to make it less of a crap shoot but I simply cannot find any 4GB 9600 kits availalble in the UK :(

The tight binning issue is making me wonder if I should take the chance of...

When payday comes I'm going to be ordering a 4GB kit to compliment my recent upgrade to Vista 64Bit.

I'm currently running a 2GB kit of D9 based OCZ 7200's which have been good for 1188 at...

yep, the artifacts are gone at 1000mem, great stuff. It didn't help my score though, I think I'm CPU limited with my q6600 at 3.8Ghz,

So these Bioses need to be altered manually with RBE ro increase the voltage?

I've flashed them successfully anyway, I'm just downloading 3dmark 03 and 06 (changed my Hard drive last week) and...

Thanks T_M and Team.AU I'm going to flash these babies now!

Well done for looking after the common folk! :)
