Where did you get that chip?

or do you think its all about the PSU?

I got the chip at Microcenter in Dallas.

I think it has mostly to do with the motherboard and this particular cpu long with the monster power supply. My friend The Nemesis (Walker) has the same cpu batch # as I do. We got them at the same store just a couple of days apart. He is using the DFI X58 and I don't think he's run his bclk this high yet. For the fun of it, we may have to switch cpus and motherboards and see how that works.

or something crazy like that. I really don't want to find out what it takes to kill a memory controller.

Pros have backup

- Novice shows it all up front.

Now Ron struggles to get a backup.

He is the man who deserves the final credits.

"Shamino" aka "Lardarse" aka "Lardy" aka "Tsunami Wave Runner" or simply "Peter"

put together a very smooth running X58 board with an easy to use bios. EVGA made a great choice putting Lardy onboard.

Corsair HX1000W + EVGA X58 3X SLI FTW

thanks buddy but i agree with only the second and third part, Peter has done a hell of a job in a short period of time over at camp EVGA

i just shared what i did...you went and took that to beat me by a country mile. i shared my info openly with the EVGA forums and no one else came back with a 238

Yes

with no problem. It can even handle more than that.

**k|ngp|n** · 02-03-2009, 05:53 AM

What an overclock on that chip Ron! EVGA and CORSAIR ftw!!

**PcCI2iminal** · 02-03-2009, 06:20 AM

**carpo93** · 02-03-2009, 08:54 AM

Thanks for getting this out Ron. Awesome results!

I wonder now how this same CPU will do on the EVGA Classified board? I hear it is a beast.

inconspicuous Corsair ad going on here

**Splave** · 02-03-2009, 03:31 PM

I wonder if you could get that clock without the hx1000

Actually that will be put to the test that using an Antec 850w as well as 1000w. I have the same cpu and highest I've gotten thus far is 4.90Ghz using DFI UT x58. Wouldn't it be something if I tried that PSU and suddenly broke 5GHz as well. We will see.

**Hazzan** · 02-05-2009, 09:14 AM

nice and amazing BCLK.....keep pushing

**k|ngp|n** · 02-05-2009, 09:49 AM

I doubt it! That is one hell of a PSU! Great job CORSAIR!!!

**carpo93** · 02-05-2009, 10:03 AM

can EVGA x58 Classified board run 2 gtx295 quadsli and another gtx295 for phisic?

**Russian** · 02-05-2009, 04:35 PM

Here are some closely competing bclocks... i believe the highest found was also 233 he got 238 but couldnt keep it stable enough after running Vantage once.

**runmc** · 02-08-2009, 01:50 PM

Pushed a bit more on bclk today. Still working on better 3D. Not much happening with my poor card.

**Planet** · 02-08-2009, 01:54 PM

Ron,

You are a friggen animal.

**The Nemesis** · 02-08-2009, 02:13 PM

Nice work Ron, what vcore and vtt did that take?

I used those voltages your friend from Anandtech suggested. I also had a little help from that cascade that was in my garage this go round.

1.8vcore
1.65vtt
