Thanks for sharing. Subscribed

[hiwa]

Thanks
Some Sis.Sandra memory test tomorrow

[labs23]

Finally some results for the P55 FTW.

Pretty good OCer mobo, + the nice looks.

[Martin.v.r]

nice test
but ? 3Dmark 05/06

[Radamanthys]

Tension misuring points

This is really insane ...

Thanks for sharing !

[hiwa]

nice test
but ? 3Dmark 05/06

i5 750 is 4/4 so nothing special in 06 and vantage,wprime ...

[dro]

I really do hope p55 will be replacing the mainstream market
Looks affordable for me

P/S: Hows the temperature?

[hiwa]

240bclk under crappy phase

cpu test just for fun

Nice review and very detailed. Looks like the I7 920 edges it out by just a little at less voltage. I guess it will come down to how much the total cost is of the system that will really determine which is the best value.

[FlanK3r]

nice, try please wprime and Cinebench i920 vs i5 750. Thx

[hiwa]

no have sence test them with 750 need a 860 or 870 for that

[hiwa]

here is cinebench

[saaya]

very nice! thanks for sharing!
seperate bios setting for vref ca and dq, wow! sweet
doubt it does much, but nice!

max bclock is only 240 on phase?
how many cpus have you tried?
is this tweaked or a quick run for max bclock?

[hiwa]

thanks

this is the first cpu i tried
my phase it was make for ram testing so @ 4000GHz normal vcore was @ -23 Idle

ye not just Vref settings, another thing is rock in this bios man,look it better

[saaya]

hmmm you mean the current and eventual voltage settings?
yeah those are pretty nice too

this bios is pretty amazingly detailled and has plenty of nice features...
it has dozens of extra settings like a dfi bios but the settings sound like they actually make a diference heheh

[HuffPCair]

Great review. I have been waiting to see how the i5s perform before I start my new build.

Great work on this one. The board is really kickass too may have to start looking into this board.

[metro.cl]

How much better is the overclock with the 2x8Pin conectors? is there a reason for having two? is it for the CPU only? i'm just wondering.

you got it current and eventual Vcore and VTT is really usefull
We know some cpu don't like boot @ high vtt or vcore, here we can set for example 1.40 in boot up and 1.45 when windows loading,misuring with multimeter and it works great

nothing change for normal benching/testing
Dual 8pin 12v will use when u wanna push to max your cpu in extremeclocking and gives you more stability

[caffeine]

Cinebench results are very interesting. A 6 second render difference? Over the course of a shortfilm, that could add up... but most probably outsource to a render farm or have a render farm for that stuff... I digress.

I seriously can't wait for more head to head comparisons. We need more data!!!

I know this is Xtreme Systems... but could you run them both through Cinebench @ stock with Turbo "ON" for the i5?

[kiwi]

Where is 24x?

[M3kk]

I need this board .
I have the cpus here, but dont have a decent board to test hem .

[hiwa]

nice cpu's there
email eVGA no idea when they will in stock
