Try the above plz... I can boot and be stable at 227 Bclock with my crap 950... no other board has done that here (not Xpower, not UD9)

ok, I'll do that and add 200 in bclk to 4.2, very soon send news, and thanks for the quick replies

By the way sorry ignorance but what is the option (UD9) ?

He's refering to the Gigabyte UD9 Motherboard.

Ill post you my template tonight, if your still having no luck, I'm at work atm.

[Bodar]

Out of all the chips tested this is the 2nd best so far...

[kortas]

Very impressive Bodar,

my word you must have pumped some cash into your machine, how many chips do you now own?

I must admit I really want one of these 980's what's the secret and the best to look out for?

[Bodar]

Thanks man! I decided to basically test 20 chips total.. Not all where 980x's A couple x5660's and a xeon w3680 as well.. This time I tried to get the same batch number for all 980x's.. This batch is great! So far the
lowest clock I've seen on this batch is 6400mhz.. There's 2 chips that I really like but I'll probably sell the rest.. Just decided to go nuts this time.. Hope to make a little money back once I sell them. cheers!! -Beaux

[kortas]

Sorry I referred to you as Austin instead of Bodar, I was looking at your location and it stuck in my mind lol.

I assume you are using LN2 to cool these chips at that speed?

[Leeghoofd]

Don't think there's any other way to go over 6ghz with a GT...

[calves]

Try the above plz... I can boot and be stable at 227 Bclock with my crap 950... no other board has done that here (not Xpower, not UD9)

Leeghoofd I have no luck, I did exactly everything you said and did not work after 12 seconds in LinX i have a blue screen, then try again with the Vcore to 1.38 and still gave error on LinX after 13 seconds.

[Leeghoofd]

try first Prime95, set to 8 threads and run Custom 20-20K set... this to determine CPU stability first..., then we will move on from there... if it reboots you need more Vcore...

[minaelromany]

Please post your system specs, in particular RAM and CPU PSU and GFX.

hae you tried the 0704 BIOS, its 100% better than the rest for me personaly running a 920 stable at 4.2ghz, i can reach 4.4ghz to now after some voltage tweeks.

Can you post your BIOS settings for 4.4Ghz with the 920 and 0704 Bios ?



I am at 4.33Ghz now :



No POST for over 222 BCLK

What is the batch

[DarthBeavis]

Just one H20:


But I bet I have the sexiest case of any R3 owner

[brolloks]

Pretty impressed with this board

255 bclck was impossible on my RIIE...Vtt was only 1.4 v

[kullymontana]

thats just amazing 1.4 vcore to get that 4.8 got your self a great chip there i cant even get 4.3 stable at 1.37 vcore.

[Splave]

anyone else having trouble with 704, I get corrupted bios reflashed twice now.

[brolloks]

0704 works fine for me, have not OC'd the 980 yet with it, will see if I can get the 255 bclck as well

[kill_a_wat]

flashed to 704 using ez flash yesterday from 534 worked fine thankfully

[kill_a_wat]

Pretty impressed with this board

255 bclck was impossible on my RIIE...Vtt was only 1.4 v

what cooling did you use for that run?

[brolloks]

Single Stage

[kill_a_wat]

Single Stage

cheers for that, trying to compile some info on o/c and extreme cooling used

nice bclk btw

[fmsam]

Splave Im all good on 0704, not sure what to suggest sorry !

Kortas, you are very welcome my friend, glad your all up and stable.

Ive ended up at 4.2 stable with my 920 , cant run to the 980 as Ive done my cash for now on a couple of C300s ( raid 0 on the Marvell) very pleased with them so far :-)

Rick

[Splave]

I think its the 5984 bios on my bios chip 1 that is messing it up when I go back and forth. Will try flashing both to 704

[kullymontana]

Ok just updated my bios to 0704 all went well so i tried 200x21 for 4.2 and vcore at 1.375 it just would not boot into windows BSOD!!!Can some1 plz post some bios settings for me to try dying to get this 980x stable at 4.2 or 4.3 that will do me.But having problems geting there
i have added a template i have copied would like to know what to set it at for 4.2 or 4.3ghz.

plz not above settings are just copied from another site and the settings on it will not work for me as of my ram is dominator gt 2000mhz.Anyone with simular spec to mines can u post your settings thanks .
