3770k@5700 dice overclock benching gigabyte z77x-ud3h

Working with the Gigabyte Z77 UD3H and a 3770K on Dice

I want to say that Gigabyte has come full circle, the bottom line Z77 series board preformed flawless With the 3770K on Dice I did run into a minor cold bug at temps below -68c. Once booted and running however no issues going colder just dont freeze up and have to reboot, this was a issue for my chip I would have to wait for the temps to drop down a bit before I could get going again or start from stock and work up, other than that the 3770K ran very well with a noted improvement over the SB. The chip does seem to get very hot at upper speeds so I recomed good cooling for high end Overclocking unless you have a very good chip!

The Gigabyte board I cant say enough about as all the past bugs have been delt with and I see them emerging as a top player again without issues, the board overclocks easy and all you need in adjusments including to go to 3600MHz memory. I recomend this board as it is priced well and any user will overclock very well with it.

Being a bencher time for the show!

Benching

















The board ran perfect as far as the chip (plane jane) went HEAT once over 5.3 you feel the heat come on even with DICE at -74 to -68 on any heavy CPU test the heat was to much, best I could do stable was 5700MHz on DICE for these benchings, if you want more LN2 it the game or cascade.

Will be back with some 2x card runs

Nice results and I'm looking forward to your LN2 results
Is that petroleum jelly or something?

Hey nice results!

I'm going to do DICE sessions on the 3770K and M5G.
so far I used this designers eraser thing which worked great.

I was wondering - can you elaborate on that stuff you used on your session?
What exactly did you use? how (if at all) did you take the goo out of the memory slots when you were done DICING?

sounds interesting.

nice job T&B! Your results look good, look like you had a good session! hahah nice amount of Vaseline i am guessing. lol

[NoGuru]

Holy Lube! Your my boy Blue!
Nice results.

I think you just tip the board upside down and blow hot air from a hairdryer and the grease turns to liquid and just drips out easily and you absorb the rest with a paper towel. It looks messy but its very easy to clean this way.

Depends on how you define "clean"

5700Mhz stable on dice is great!
