Most current setups are stuck at BCLK222 (with x21 Multi) for 24/7, but this may change with a golden-batch or new 32nm CPUs (or a probable upcoming E0-stepping?) on a new MB, including this one.

I would like to see one these 32nm 6C/12T on this MB. I guess/hope it can do ~@4.83GHZ(230x21) with 24/7 stability. Anybody got the combo?

EDIT:
This was like WOW... Sniper posted a BCLK230 while i was typing this.

BCLK230 is great, even with x19, on current CPUs. Good job Sniper
Just about any batch i7 can do past 222BCLK when using sub zero cooling.

The biggest issue getting passed 222BCLK is the mobos. So far, only the Gig UD3R rev. 1.6, the new Gig X58As, EVGA boards,Asus R2E, and maybe one or two more here and there can physically get passed the 222 wall. This is because none of the other boards allow you to change the PCIe without a hardmod.

Ive had a P6T, R2E, UD3R rev 1, and now an EVGA E758. The R2E could only boot at 220BCLK, then I had to use TurboV to get get higher. The EVGA E758 can boot 225+ with 105PCIe.

The biggest point to these new Gigabyte boards is that they come hard-modded so you can adjust the PCIe to get over 222.


It doesnt matter what batch CPU you have, if you have it in a board that cant adjust the PCIe, you will not be able to go over 222BCLK.
