Only a couple times has it failed to recover and do the endless reboot at C1, trying something stupid with memory caused this. With f7e and f8X I havent had it happen at all.

Setting the multi higher than the chip will boot at causes 4E, also going above your max bclk.

Weird.

4E for me is multi chip can not post at, etc you have a 55x multi chip or to much bclk and tried to post above 55X

C1 for me = Andre Yangs FF that or instant reboot loops with no code at all.

It means i can safely return the chip and be sure it won't post for the store and test another

I havent had the instant reboots with no post code but had C1 endless bootloop a couple times, had to clear cmos.

I have tried a few SB chips,this one makes it past 4E at 55x multi but best Ive been able to do is make it to wondows load screen and hangs. Tried lowering bclk but same thing happens, voltage doesnt seem to help.

[maxxx]

Ok, you guys seem to get 4E as well. One of my procs stops at 4E on 52x100. The other at 55x100.

probably temp related.

To bench/post windows at 55x I need under 20C cpu temps in bios.

[OC Nub]

Thanks, I will have to upgrade my window unit AC . Best I can manage is around 25c at 5400mhz. I am getting hooked on this HWBot ranking and would love to try some better cooling but Ive never tried to insulate a board, this is all pretty new to me. May try a water chiller and see how it does.

[Dumo]

Once you found a >56X chip, just make sure decided what you want to do with it.
Either you going to bench it or put it on 24/7 safe rig, because time's ticking when it started to get >1.54Vcore...degradation will start...no matter what cooling you slap on it

[OC Nub]

Well this chip has been running well over 1.65vcore for a couple weeks now every night for a few hours benching/playing, up to 1.32vtt, and up to 1.80vdimm. Im waiting for it to die but it just keeps going. I got these 2500k's to play with, not to worried about the longevity. It has been fun to just say F-it, give it some juice and have a blast. Im sure it will come to an abrupt end one night benching but for now Ill keep having fun.

Did 1.32 VTT help in any way?

[OC Nub]

Did 1.32 VTT help in any way?

I kept crashing trying the extreme memory profile at 2142mhz 7 10 6 timings, 5422mhz cpu,so I went up on vdimm and vtt until it didnt crash during the test

[bartman1973]

hmmm i am a bit confused ... same proc, same ram , same vc, same psu, same hdd .... Ud5 spi 32m run @ 6m 35.xxsec while on my ud7 its 6m 37.xx sec ...same bios settings and same ram sub timings ... how come ud5 is giving me faster runs? I wanted the ud7 to be my main board ...do i need to set anything else ? or this board is really slower than ud5 ?

If an ant walked on top of my case, it could raise my superPi times by that amount. The same goes for the gravitational pull of the moon.

Two seconds on a 32m run is within margin of error. I've had 1M runs finish at 9.385, then other runs at 9.406.

Even two EXACT same boards at exact same settings might not give the exact same spi time.
BTW voltages (error correction) can play a part as well, if you're borderline stable.

[bartman1973]

well yeah you are right ) I also noticed that i need to put 1.44V LLC level 2 to stabilize @ 5ghz ( latest bios with PLL enabled ) while 1.42V LLC level 1 in ud5 ( f5x ) .... hehehe we are actually running a local game in a local forum here and i am hoping that ud7 can do the trick as one of my friend is using that and getting better run

[KALISPIMENTA]

for sure mate

NON SP1 - set on bios - LLC1
vcore 1.45
vtt 1.12
vdimm 1,66

SP1 RTM - set on bios - LLC1
vcore 1.47
vtt 1.12
vdimm 1,66

as for PLL/PCH/etc all normal untouched

remember im runing 2133 mem lower i need less vcore and vtt

cheers
Sergio

THANK YOU

[andressergio]

THANK YOU

if you need further help get me on msn

cheers !

My friend
I want to test this performance
SP1 3D > SP0

[andressergio]

My friend

SP1 3D > SP0

already did vern

SP1 i2600k 4805 HT ON / 910/1824/4200 3dm11 = 7538 points this with my hypers at 1600 C7 266.58 drivers

NO SP1 i2600k 4805 HT ON / 910/1824/4200 3dm11 = 7596 points this was with my mushkins at 2133 C7 266.77 drivers

cheers
Sergio

[sin0822]

damn that is a nice tiny boost.

[andressergio]

damn that is a nice tiny boost.

thanks sin its new drivers im on Palit Sonic Platinum GTX460 SLI

but 4 notches of vcore for runing SP1 i once tought it worth it buy no way after i did all the test and its the same

cheers
Sergio

[andressergio]

great board mates will run my Redlines on 3x2GB like lsdmeasap told me will do

thanks mate

Wow alessan, nice clean build you have there!

[Falkentyne]

I wish I had cable management that clean...

New AIDA64 1.60.1300 "memory copy" bechmark is less arround 2000 MB/s,as Fiery explain:

That's normal. With the previous AIDA64 release Sandy Bridge processors could somehow get around our Memory Copy benchmark, and over-optimize it. It resulted in an unrealistically high score. We've fixed it by increasing the used memory block size to avoid any sorts of CPU optimization impacts. So the realistic Memory Copy scores are produced by AIDA64 v1.60, and please ignore the scores obtained by the previous versions.

Wow alessan, nice clean build you have there!

Sergio,
I saw 3 memory stick on your UD7.
Edit:
Ohh,just saw your notepad.
How 3 sticks doing,any boost in performance?

[sin0822]

as if any of the AIDA scores are that realistic, what am I supposed to compared memory bandwidth mb/s to anyway?. SB is optimized so what. They shouldn't be un-optimizing it.

thanks stasio amazing lsdmeasap had the courtesy of testing 3x2 on giga P67A so i bought those, will need a bump on vdimm to do 2133 but not worth it im more than fine with 6GB on a dual channel mobo and see its very fast

i will lower to 6-9-6...to see if they take it

cheers
