^No,I talking about you.........
Very simple....if you want IR3550 VRM,buy Force (or other brand) and finish this story.

No story. Just sharing the truth. The board is strong but I could have spent less money and got a UD4H that has double the number of same IR3553M VRM parts. UD4H has 16 phases.

yes but your OC on the cpu wouldn't increase, b/c the OC board ins't holding back your CPU OC on water or air.

Other brand don't use IR3550, only GBT and then MSI's Big Bang XPower whih is same price as OC Force if not a tiny bit cheaper. Your gonna have to pay like $400 for a IR3550 board mate, luckily I am telling you here and now don't spend money to upgrade the VRM of the OC board, it wont help. I have most the GBT boards and i test their max OCs. FIVR the integrated VRM in the CPU takes a lot out of the equation, you just need clean power at a certain current rating and it works.

I hear ya but I'm still dissatisfied with the lesser VRM that is on the OC.

Also I would rather have the better part... get what I thought I was paying for. I don't want anybody to make the same mistake that I did.

You get a VRM the same basic cost as a ROG MVIE VRM, so you actually get more for your money, those OC features and buttons aren't free either. The OC board is an excellent OC value, gives you exactly what you need in full ATX for such low cost as $200. If you wanted you could have bought a UD4H, but you don't get those OC features which makes the OC board the OC board.

Tweaking and dreaming of IR550 VRM powa for my 4770k.

So close to being where I would like to be with my Z87X-OC.

Ambient Temp water cooling.

are you chasing the magic unicorn (5GHz haswell) lol

MOAR benching 2nite

Big struggle with wazza tonight, ended up resorting to some old school shyte and got one decent bonus loop. Also had a single 5GHz run with 1384MHz on RAM with 5m56.6 iirc but the friggin bloody aida crashed the setup and it was all downhill from there. Gotta put the chip on LN2 next time and get uncore up too

Still trying to figure it out though but i'll get there

New platform, very excitement for dat in Borat voice

Bit of Yngwie Malmsteen tonight benching till early hours of the morning. Even wife was hanging out, dfuq!

ONE DAY THAT FENDER WILL BE MINE, OH YES, IT WILL BE MINE lol

rubbish ram man, please send it here!

cas6 on air, damn! what sort of RTL settings are you seeing? what ram is it?

Nice yet 32m performance seems less than I expected for speeds and tight timings. Possible throttling?

[dinos22]

How can you make such an assumption. What are you basing your opinion on?

I thought he was at 5GHZ. My 32M score for 5GHZ with 2400mhz CL 9-11-11-31-193-2T is 6:22.911 seconds. I thought that for memory at such tight timings he would have a much better score than me. For 4.9GHZ it makes more sense to me now.

Had a little revisit on Gigga OC today testing new bios,will need to revisit later ,had to cut short session

[stasio]

New BIOS (TT forum):

GA-Z87X-OC - X02

X02 modded (by me) also on line.....

I haven't used the regular OC, but it seems that the OC Force is the only board that can clock 4 DIMMs worth anything. I'm not sure what optimizations are required for a mobo to be successful at this (better power delivery for DRAM? Looser stock subs?) but I've been trying to clock 4x4GB and 4x8GB on a competitor's board and it has been an exercise in frustration. On the OC Force, just set the primaries and VDIMM and you're off.
