    GIGABYTE X58A-OC lets get it on

    lets get it on, ooooooooooo baby, lets geeet it oonn..

    SETUP
    GIGABYTE X58A-OC
    CORSAIR GTX2 and GTX6 kits
    WESTERN DIGITAL Velicoraptor 600GB
    GIGABYTE 5870
    CORSAIR AX1200
    ANTEC 1200OC

    so i just get down to doing some subzero testing on X58A-OC and some 990X.. results look strong.. i will need to run some more benchmark as i realized tonight i can run 5050 uncore with triple channel 1050 7-8-7 and 6575 to 6600 for 3d.. so that'll help me a bit..

    i defiantly got benefit from PWM switching, while other boards have had it a while, its new to giga...

    i tested a few 980x and some liked 800 while others like 1000 and there was gains of 50-70MHz for me between the stock frequency and the optimal frequency..

    where i benefit from most is the OC Touch facility... being able to boot at 5.7 then set my clock in windows works for me.. with AM3 you can set a higher clock and down clock just before explosion for example.. not new technology with the bclk, but the multi adjust is very nice..

    i can also say it might be time to look at 1GB modules for those with chips that like very cold.. we know most 990X has a weak IMC and it is easier to drive 2x1GB or 3x1GB than the 2GB comparison modules.. the Corsair GTX6 sticks are doing the job for you, I noticed Kingston also has some similar modules that Petri is using and Chew even had some 2x1GB Hyper's in the past, so there are plenty of options around...

    just some results to check the board out to start with..



    pcmark05, on of my favorites, my hdd start up isn't great here so there is much more in this score - part 1 of score


    part 2 of score




    bit of am3 action with subzero 5870


    having a look at another chip here... triple channel is something that is lacking on sandy bridge with a high clock, seems to be OK here though.. i realize not all chips like to do this..


    pwm stays very cold, here i have removed the stock pwm heatsink and the board is running at no more than 30 degrees during 3d load at 1.84v~, temperature unit pointing directly at the drivermos



    VIDEO OF 4G BUTTON FROM OC-TOUCH

    here is a youtube video explaining the 4G button, which is part of the OC Touch functionality... this button will clock your CPU to 4GHz without any intervention.. i have used 3 different kits of 2x4GB GSKILL ram and a Bloomfield 960 here to see how it goes with a mix of hardware...




    and cookie, i know why you are 2nd on hwbot now...



    do i need to say anything more?

    Because Pro doesn't live in the same world as the rest of us when it comes to efficiency, what we need to know is.... how did the CPU clock in other boards and what is the board efficiency like, clock to clock?

    1 CPU -105 1.82 6500 gt
    2nd CPU -155 1.84 6600 gt

    I havnt done bench by bench analysis comparing oc to other vendor boards, but it looks good from what I've tested

    Hopefully someone will post something similar soon

    Similarly with CPU clocks have not tested 990 in another board... But soon I will try 980x a0 in this board to see if I can improve my 32m

    990x sucks for 32m, 1m maybe 100-200mhz lower than maximum gt

    If all 4 PCI-E slots are populated (two 1X cards in slots 2 and 4), will slots 1 and 3 still run at 16X?

    Hey pro, i'll join in the fun soon man. Looks like one of my CPUs isnt too bad heh, just gotta work out my GPU situation and will start cranking some results out

    nothing special at the moment just decent frequencies considering my best CPU in the past was a 6.2 on a good day im stoked. Will do some tripple channel memory i reckon it should be similar. GPU sucked up all the LN2 and i got nowhere with it, had some issues donno it might be the damn software, will have to do hardmods or maybe try something else lol. Ran out of LN2 to try tripple channel with the corsairs, will hopefully get a top up tomorrow
