GIGABTE 890GPA-UD3H OC testing

[chew*]

So I just got this board today lets see what mischevious things we can do to err I mean with it.



Now the first thing to slap you in the face, well maybe not you but me was this picture boasting 3300+ 06 on the HD 4290 IGP.

Where's that O realllly owl when you need him.



Figured this was likely somthing that would require Cold to acchieve but hey what the heck lets give it a try on air.

AMD phenom II x2 550
GIGABYTE 890GPA-UD3H
OCZ BE 1600 c7
HD4290 IGP
pc p&c 1200 turbocool
Stock cpu cooler and misc fans on board.


Second 06 run = 3333 but we don't need that screenshot



Ok 3d looks strong lets rip through the whole 3d bench regime.







I guess GIGABYTE can start claiming 3400+ 06 on the boxes now.



Not sure if this was more painfull for the IGP or me....






Anyway enjoy, more benches to come but I need a nap and some tylenol, got like 3 hours of sleep last night.

[dinos22]

Good stuff man. I like the 3400 3DMARK06...very nice

[BrokenWall]

Any way to force unlocking on this board like the ASUS models?

Not to my knowledge as of yet.

Good Work
Can U Show Me Graphic Tab In CPUZ

[Glow9]

Did you have a 790 based board before? How do the OC's compare?

Also what is that thing in your pci slot?

[jonspd]

debug or diagnostic card whichever term you refer I guess...

[reza_xxx]

wow nice board...hummmm
and great 4290 graphic

If your suggesting im using hybrid kinda hard to stuff a card where that fan is.

[FlanK3r]

have u some old graphic card for comparsion? Maybe x1600pro or x1600xt?

[Leeghoofd]

Go go Chew !!

preety sure it beat my 2400 XT with a cpu at 6gig on ln2 LOL, that would likely be the type of card tossed in a mediacenter.

[FatAlbert]

ln2 party soon chew? huh

[chew*]

Nah no need for ln2 on this, phase on cpu/di on gpu likely max it all the way out, tbh anymore than that is a waste of resources.

The 2400XT was run by hicookie for a gag in 06 at 6+, think it hit 1500 points in 06.

[FatAlbert]

I was talking about cpu

[chew*]

I was talking about cpu

Ahh yah I have 2 chips here that have a eventual date with ln2, 550,555 and I believe msimax may also come up and beat on a TWKR.

[FatAlbert]

nice to hear it

if you know something more about it, could you pm with details if this will be live ?

I may do update on schedule for other users

Sure but usually i'm a fly by the seat of my pants type guy, but when msimax comes up it's usually something with at least a days notice.

[FatAlbert]

no problem with that

also you can write short post in schedule thread

if I will able to watch I will do it

eot sorry chew

[chew*]

Np man.

Ok moving on.

Prime stable, seem to have neither lost nor gained anything clockwise from data I have collected on this chip.

Swapped to my tru 120, also might note that ram clearance is fine in the back slots for ram with tall spreaders.





4.5 is easy

maybe for old nice games as Quake3, CS, Starcraft

So I was doing some air comparisons when i stumbled onto some serious 3d03 performance. Looks like this is one of the boards strong points.

I tossed the system on phase and grabbed a quick #6 2x 4850 spot on the bot with 2 4850's on air in 03.

Anything in particular anyone wants to see tested feel free to ask, i'm just sifting and running stuff no rhyme or reason, mainly searching for bug's issues etc etc.

Atm it appears that NB/ram clocking needs a little work but other than that no major issues yet.

[FatAlbert]

how about high htt ? let's say 400mhz + ?

Will give it a shot but most ddr 3 boards have issues with that, plus it's tied into ram compatibility and this board needs a little work in that department.
