BCLK 235 / PCIe 130 with GIGABYTE MB

[hicookie]

A brieft test with my core i7 975 es D0
with air cooling 235MHz of BCLK and
stable at 233-234MHz. its a bit wierd, seems
the PCIe just affect a bit around some MHz to improve
the QPI bus.like i got same results with 106Mhz and 130MHz of PCIe Clk

235MHz of BCLK , and QPI bus is 8.4GT/s


234.7MHz 1M with PCIe 108MHz, actully i tested 106 the same


another run 233 8M with PCIe 130MHz

Nice work ( as usual ) Hicookie, no need to go classified :p

[tajoh111]

WTF, I seriously thought Gigabyte couldn't count past 222. My ex58 extreme can't and the damn board cost so much more.

Did you get past this barrier with setfsb or in bios?

[Solarfall]

pretty surprising that you can raise the pcie that high.. im limited at 116 mhz on my evga x58, really nice work mate

[Eeky NoX]

Hum! I'll be lookin' that thread with attention !! We could do so with all UD4P on the market or what ?

[dinos22]

where is my email

hits F5 again

[SoF]

c'mon make it cold already

[Benny Lodewijk]

really nice.... just receive the F9X BIOS too.. gonna try it !

[EXPANDER]

nda?

[gandalfone]

Ver nice bclk on air

[eva2000]

Nice.. wonder how many gpus and hdds will handle 130mhz pci-e ?

[ME4ME]

Very nice Hicookie!

now i know i can keep my UD4P, and don't have to buy one of those other expensive boards!

Great job man!
hope you will try it on LN2 soon

My onboard network shuts down when i go over pci-e 110mhz. But the Areca 1680ix just geting faster with more pci-e speed :p 10 mhz more on the pci-e gives almost 100mb/s more readspeed with my 7 vertex ssd on Areca 1680ix. Just testetd 110 mhz. I am scared to try 140 Maybe the Areca goes too fast

graphics is easy, hd4870, gtx 260 can 130 i tested, and for low-end like ati x300 129MHz for sure, and SATA keeps 100MHz always.

[dinos22]

i like the fact you run that sort of uncore volt

if you notice EVGA they are all forced to run low uncore(from what i've seen) hence their NB speeds will suffer badly and performance as a result
if this can be consistent and also able to make it to 240/250 there is going ot be some serious owange soon

starts looking for a good W3540 heheh

[Booj]

Awesome thread Time to pick up a D0 and bring my EX58 Extreme out of detention for some cascade lovin'

[PytonOrm]

holy of mother... Are you gonna fry your graphiccard mate ? sure i´ve tested to 130mhz on pci-e but not help so much... thats risky

[dinos22]

really?
i've done 160Mhz on Rampage Extreme on single card
it's still ok

[STEvil]

I've never cooked a graphics card due to high PCI-E speeds?

[BulldogPO]

Nice to see Gigabyte spanking EVGA Classified

[lior307]

Great News - Giga = 235 BCLK

What is Max CPU Clock (MHZ) you did with this Mobo ??

[dinos22]

update

working on bus clocks

now i need a W3540 heheh

32M is screwed up lol look at the available memory
CAS6 is fine too at that speed .....

just in case Jody missed it > my NB is not too bad either

[tajoh111]

Hey dinos is this with a new bios? Or just pure skill?

[dinos22]

just beta testing some changes for GBT

lucky that there is someone like hicookie there to translate OCers jibberish into a language engineers can understand lol

hicookie's the man



oh i HATE hicookie
last night i went to bed at 5am FFS



and what's worse i cant wait to leave work....somehow get kids early to bed and tell the wife that i "just have to check something in the PC room for a sec" errr or about 8 hours
