ok you are smart guy .... ! detective Xdan

i have some pics of 2800 memory test 4GBX4 & 30xx mhz memory on air .

will post soon . Even mobo is capable of memory overclocking , u still need good kits .

[xdan]

And a good IMC from CPU from what i've read here there are some chances you get a chip with an IMC that can't do above 2666 at least on air.

found another nice kit, still sealed PSC 2x2gb 2400 9-11-9



Will try soon

So curently this board is at 239$ on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157328 between 199$ Maximus V Gene, 249$ Z77X-UP5 TH(not sure if to count as competition but if we look at UP7) and 279$ Maximus V Formula.

So at middle between Rog series.
An interesting bargain. In overclocking i think it's at least as good as Gene V + has another features and gadgets which Gene V hasn't(due to mATX standard).

I just grabbed one from the egg so I should have it by this weekend.

So much PSC in the house, where is the samsung love?

I made a 32m list at the front page so we can start seeing where efficiency lies. Splave do you want to better that 1.38v 4,2ghz cpu result before i add you ^^?.

This board is amazing with samsung:

1366mhz 9-12-12-15 1.9v





and 2995mhz validation! so cloooooose

[jimba86]

wow, nice score vivi!

I wonder how this board compares to say the UP5 or MVE?

Also why isnt it released down under yet..grr

On air, no?

I hope that this motheboard will arrive soon in Romania too. I'm curios about price, normally should be same as Z77 Professional which is ok for me, if it is 20-30$ more expensive...hmm[/QUOTE]



This result is on air ...

Very nice with the VL's Vivi

[Splave]

vivi you try 3000 strap?

[Vivi]

yes its air for sure .

9-12-12-21 was a nice score
9-12-12-19 better score
9-12-12-15 best score
9-12-12-12 started give the same score as 21

[Vivi]

vivi you try 3000 strap?

3000 strap not tried. Do you mean try 3000 strap and start at lower BLCK? i booted with the 2800 strap, 2933 was no go

[Splave]

yeah like 100x42 with ddr3 @ 3000mhz might need cold cpu

[Vivi]

I cant wait to try this cpu cold, and possibly try bench 3000 3D ^^

[Splave]

Some pics under the giant MOS cooler









Nice to see thermal tape is making contact on every piece not just the ends :P

[Splave]

Splave - 7min 26.609 (1333mhz 9-12-12-21 1.82v Corsair Platinum2600 CL10 samsung )


Making me work hard vivi bro! got a nice boost at the end :P I dont think I have an IMC that will go much passed that but will keep trying

[Vivi]

I will try this soon, but my eff is terrible, i must install a new OS. My 32m efficiency needs some rebooting!

Thanks for the updates nick i put it on front page
