[Testing] Core I7 920 (watercooled) & Gigabyte UD5 X58

[SetteUltras]

Mascaras, i'm on to decide whether to buy memory @1300 or @1600 but i hardly find the info i am interested in.
So, if possible for you, i would much appreciate two screenshots of Everest memory benchmark; first one with cpu@4Ghz/ram@1300 and second one with cpu@4Ghz (no change)/ram@1600.
I 'll get same cpu and mobo as you and for ram i am between Corsair 3x2GB@1300 and Corsair Dominator 3x2GB@1600. The second one is overpriced so if there is not much gain (since imc makes the difference) i 'd prefer to keep some money in pocket .
Nevertheless, if you believe 1600 ram makes big impact in overclocking and/or system performance please mention in what way that happens.

Thank you again!

Hi


with 200 BCLK (200x20 = 4Ghz) i think there is no memory Multi for 1300Mhz , i think the lower is 1200Mhz @ memory Multi x6

But the performance from 1333Mhz to 1600Mhz is Big (you dont need to test it)

My advice is at least a 1600Mhz DDR3 Tri-Channel Kit


If you prefer to keep some money in pocket you also have the G.skill 12800NQ DDR3 Kits (they are cheaper )

here in portugal

3x1Gb Corsair XMS3 1600 = 160€
3x2GB Corsair 1600 = 300€

3x1Gb Gskill 12800NQ = 120€
3x2GB Gskill 12800NQ = 250€

Thanx m8. Today i ll be receiving my stuff; got 3x2GB dominators hoping they worth the money. Also there was no Gigabyte available so i 've gone with P6T deluxe.

Cheers.

will mount my GTZ later on today.. Running 920 + UD5 + 6GB DHX+ 8-8-8-24 1600 - 3 x 280GTX..

4GHz should be piece of cake with 360 rad...?

thanks for a good review!!

I just recieved my GTZ, 1366 mount and Kingston HyperX 3G 1x3G 16000 2000Mhz DDR3 Tri-Channel Kit ram today , That should be almost everything to set up, will prob put together on the weekend... Should be much fun.

Thanks for the info!

Nice clocks Brother! Keep pushing it. I was able to lower my vCore and QPI/VTT a bit as well with the F4J bios (EX58-Ext).

Thanks for sharing the info.
