IVY BRIDGE NO COLD BUG MOTHERBOARD DATABASE -100c and further

[trans am]

Hey guys, I thought it was time for a thread like this one.
Its been 2 years since I did any serious overclocking with Ln2/dice. The last I did was clarksdale. my fav boards were the maximus III extreme, H55Nusb3, TH55xe, tpowerI55.
then all you had to do was a conductive pen mod on the pin side of the cpu. REMEMBER THIS?



I guess that doesnt exist yet on Ivy.

from what I gathered, Ivy is basically the cheap thrills of the clarksdale days with sandy bridge tech but with way better mem controllers and they scale with extreme cold unlike sandy.
Am I on the right track here?

I know the NDA is still in effect but you guys that have tried the new boards, maybe you could share your 1st hand experience regarding the best boards for ln2.

I saw the biostar thread from namegt but that is beyond my skills soldering. Dumo is telling me to get the maximus V gene.
what else is good?

Please list your board and your cold bug temp? basically tell us what board you used and how cold it got before you were stuck with a hairdryer trying to get the damn thing to post again.

thanks

i think i'll be getting either the M V G or the formula. seeing lots of results on the UD5H.

cool, yeah I hear the maximus V gene is just smooth sailing and its relatively inexpensive. I would like to hear from Fugger personally because I think he's tried a ton of boards on ivy and he's using cold so he will have a good idea about what boards crap oout after you get to a certain temp. @Fugger, what your fav board so far on ln2?

I have two of them (M5G) and still no cpu, the 23rd couldn't come any faster . . .

M5G and Z77A-GD65 both don't have cold issues. Tested.

M5G don't have cold issues. Tested.

+1

no modding required - -190°C capability out-of-the-box

[oanvoanc]

although im not fugger i can also confirm, that maximus v gene bios 0701 doesnt have any cold bug.
to bypass the coldboot bug i just set the bclk above 102.8 mhz. -165°C boot no problem
did it with ln2 jumper btw mentioned by shammy in the maximus v gene thread on kingpincooling.

M5G and Z77A-GD65 both don't have cold issues. Tested.

MSI Z77 GD65 have cold boot with high multiplier, in my case

[AVulgarPicture]

as a person whos never been sub zero, is the M5G any harder to insulate than any other board?

Thanks guys, I'm getting a maximus V gene.

[Viss]

Good choice mon ami

this thread reminds me of this video http://www.weather.com/outlook/weath...son_2012-04-16

can we have better music into that

if you want to add this in, changing BLCK a bit higher maybe 3mhz higher than 100 will change up or eliminate your CB/CBB depending on the CPU, at least on E0 i tested a few weeks ago this was the case. I will test it on E1 soon. But the gigabyte boards don't have cold bug/cold boot bug unless the CPU has one, it goes with the CPU. There isn't a board limited CBB.

this

on another note I just almost bought 6 3770K's from a B&M store , but I was stopped at the counter and promptly told to "good try" come back Monday

they 30 units of 3770K and 26 3570K on hand.

[sofos1990]

I tested GBT Z77X-UD3H. There was no cold bug and cold boot bug was around -130C when I was using 105 bclk.

straight and to the point.
lol talking about optimization processes.. ^_^

Thanks everyone, I didnt have to pay a restocking fee because I told egg I was getting the V gene. now I just sit and wait for a cpu.

Sorry to say this.
But there is some chips that will have coldboot -108ºC and coldbug -156ºC...


Someone tell me that info. You can expect this cenario with some IVY
