The Dragon Returns_Giga 890FXA-UD7+1090T @ 4.9GHz Validated & PI1m Sub 15s on Air

[Mad222]

Excellent efficiency & stability can be easily found in this board
The F2 bios has no jumping CPU/HT/NB freq. or bouncing Vcore/NB Volt. Whatsoever
It’s never been easy producing a nice MB & its’ bios to cater for a newly released 6 core CPU. The R&D Team has done a great job on this one.

As a Giga fan myself, I’m very happy to see this amazing performance
The 6 PCIe gives ppl a bonus. When you need them, they’re there @ your service

Keep up the good work, Gigabyte !!!

Config:-
AMD 1090T be Thuban
Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7
Corsair 1600 C6
OCZ Vertex 2 50G
OCZ 1000w 80+
Yasya CPU Cooler
GC2 Extreme


The basic 4G



3300 NB + 1888 C6 = 13201 read & 10998 write. The Max I could reach on air



3DM06 @ 4.4GHz = 8505 CPU score. What can I say?



4.634GHz under ambient 20c gave me a PI1m @ 14.703s



With stable freq.& volt., I could easily hit 4.9GHz on air @ 2nd try


My son has just taken a video for me
4.9GHz @ 1.568v with a new 120 ex

Holy popcorn brother! You make it look so easy.

That is one very fine cpu you've got there. Seems like everything comes together nicely in that Giga board. Great job Mad, respect!

[SeMbEr]

Nice one mad222! U have good cpu there, here is what i got with fast test:

That was 27c ambient and with thermalright ultra cooler.

[luf1c3r]

Mad congrats, great numbers almost 5ghz
By the way, is that fan pecifications looks like a good fan.

[cesariuth]

exellent mobo!!
can run these memorys at 2000Mhz in this mobo?

[Chrono Detector]

Sick, I can only do a max of 4500Mhz with the new F2 BIOS, before that I could only do 4300Mhz.

[OCD-OC]

Mad, you left the water block on the NB instead of the passive cooler they ship .. does this affect anything much ?

I've got this board in it's box ready to be installed and I think the silent pipe cooler is total overkill

Othe rthan that .. SWeeT Numbers there man !

[chew*]

Madd, any thoughts on the 32m effeciency?

[FlanK3r]

MAD: perfect, what series and SN !!! Your superpi 1M is hard! Can u test for me max AIR Cinebench? Im interesting for, if my chip is +- as good as yours...I can run Cinebenchs with +- 1.5V at 4380 MHz with AIR, 3D06 at 4470 MHz to time. And last wish, test please max stability clock with air (LinX 20 rounds or 1-3h prime blend). Next week i must try more than 4800 MHz too

[slaveondope]

Awesome results Mad.
Alittle of topic but what single slot gpu is that in the first pic?

[haylui]

wow
very nice chip
4.9GHz on air..
I'd damn happy if my Phenom II x3 720BE could stable at 3.6GHz @ 1.475Vcore....

[Mad222]

Nice hardware combination, isn't it ?!

Holy popcorn brother! You make it look so easy.

Oh...it's nice on ambient 27c. Hey, push harder & share more of your best scores with us

That was 27c ambient and with thermalright ultra cooler.

It's a HKD 45 dollar fan "AVC" around 3000 rpm & it's good
Actually, the Yasya CPU Cooler doesn't need any high speed fan
So I gave up on the cutting-finger "Delta"

is that fan pecifications looks like a good fan.

Frankly, no...
I think giga is working on it. Hope they can succeed

exellent mobo!!

What's the production week of your 1090T ?

Sick, I can only do a max of 4500Mhz with the new F2 BIOS, before that I could only do 4300Mhz.

It'll help a little using that cooler with a fan
"Overkill" ? HaHah....!

Mad, you left the water block on the NB instead of the passive cooler they ship .. does this affect anything much ?

Didn't try much on 32m. But surely the efficiency was lower than I expected with high NB on diff. MBs.
Are you thinking of the ram divider stuff ?

Madd, any thoughts on the 32m effeciency?

Yes, Sir !
It's my same old chip
Flanker, keep pushing! you're getting very close to the top of the list, Bro.
Can't promise you on this one as I have other MBs to test with

BTW, haven't seen "Cele" for a long time. Anyone knows how he's been doing ?

That's a Galaxy 260+ razor

Awesome results Mad.

[radaja]

Mad222,great chip,and awesome results you got.
that board looks like the board i want for when i get a thuban
i love gigabyte and this one seems to be a monster

[fbmbirds]

the bus speed how fast can you push it? whats the highest

[Zeus]

Mad, do you have a 64bit OS? I'd like to see how far you could push it on a 64bit OS. People might disagree but i'm pretty sure a 64bit OS is much harder for overclocking i.e. requires more volts.

[chew*]

Didn't try much on 32m. But surely the efficiency was lower than I expected with high NB on diff. MBs.

Actually that might be it. Try 1333 divider at 270+ bus.

[thijs]

would like to know how the eff is aswell

[[XC] Oj101]

That is one sexy board, I'm liking it more and more the more I see it. I REALLY think I should import one now

[richierich]

man nice results with air!

[Mad222]

I've been waiting for it a long long time

Mad222,great chip,and awesome results you got.

Not yet tested...I supposed anything up to 380 on air wouldn't be a problem with giga

the bus speed how fast can you push it? whats the highest

64bits ?! no, I dun ATM. 32bits XP is surely the easiest OS. However, if 64 bits is properly trimmed, I think it wouldn't have much diff. for CPUZ

Mad, do you have a 64bit OS? I'd like to see how far you could push it on a 64bit OS. People might disagree but i'm pretty sure a 64bit OS is much harder for overclocking i.e. requires more volts.

That's the main point...HaHah !

Actually that might be it. Try 1333 divider at 270+ bus.

thijs, a sample run @ 4G 2D/3D bench, can tell the diff.

would like to know how the eff is aswell

Sure one is enough ?

That is one sexy board, I'm liking it more and more the more I see it. I REALLY think I should import one now

Thx...richierich

man nice results with air!

[Tomasis]

sick already 5ghz?. i want it

nice oc giga looks nice

[nightsharkski]

any mates herer can compare this board with UD5? any difference?

[imamage]

Holy cow !!!
Very nice Air result with 1090T Mad

Looks like it will be hard for AMD fan to choose between Crosshair IV and 890GFXA

[_d_]

sweet chip

[FlanK3r]

nice update!!!4674 MHz run superpi 1.54V, uffff.
