It's a joyous day

tried F5H and F7

man you guys are all crazy for moving from F3 bios

i cannot get performance and stability nor FSB i get with F3 with ANY bios including the last two

i asked Gigabyte to mod F3 bios and include half multies
that's the only decent bios on this board for extreme OCing


some interesting results with a E8500 chip on SS

i took screens of the vcore drop and temps during 3DMARK06 CPU tests at 5050Mhz with 1.58v loaded

SS cooled -43C on evap load -45C idle






absolute best FSB i can get out of SS cooling and 9xmulti with this board with F3
>>>>> with other bioses i cannot pass 530 properly lol

need that half a multi

45K efficiency too

penryn runs on F3?

i haven't reverted back to F3 cause it says yorkfield only is recognized after F4.
