DFI UT X58-T3EH8 continued - Part 2

[batmang]

no offense
but

if u say dfi x58 UT/DK is hard
then any 775 mobo must have been nerve recking for ya
asus REX,COmmando,M2f, DFI p35-x48, etc etc etc all must have just blown u away... literally. hospitalized i guess.

i7 x58's are like overclocking for noobie friendly.
it just cant get easier than this.


heck 50% overclock with minimal voltage changes.

this mobo is just so easy.. no skewing to worry about and all the dram skews are taken care off with the IMC and the way dfi implemented it via bootup clocks..

and this is the only mobo other than the under performed classified that
runs high percentage overclocks at almost stock voltages. aka no degrading issues like the famous gaygay mobos that in the end,.. ends up in a lot of ppl garbage bin after a year.


this is what happens when overclocking goes mainstream.
next ppl will be demanding intel/amd for overclocking headrooms.

No offense taken. I'm not overwhelmed by this board or x58, I'm just having a hard time getting above 4.0 (stable), which isn't that uncommon with 39+ batches. I've been overclocking for a very long time, since AMD K6-II days. I never had a 775 setup so I have no clue how easy or hard it was with those boards. I was one of the AMD fans that went with the Spider platform, I had a Phenom 9600+ 2.3GHz and the MSI K9A2 790FX Platinum, what a huge mistake. Overclocking Phenom's (I & II) are much harder than i7, I agree i7's are cake to OC. I was able to get 3.8GHz out of my Phenom II 920 2.8GHz which was much higher than the average Phenom II OC. I'm just greedy with my i7 and want 4.2, but if I get that I'll want 4.3 or 4.4, etc.

And most of the times. People jsut have to face the fact that they actually have a bad clocking i7, since most people seem to forget around here that NOT every i7 920 can actually get 4Ghz with turbo for 4.2.

Most(if not all if you only look @D0's) do 191x21. But after that it's hit and miss.

I need to learn to face this fact.
