Edit: Thanks Jor, I will try f6

hey radaja, TweakTown has f6 on the website, do you know if that is the latest or if f6b is? i got f6b from giga site and its a beta.

[OC Nub]

Got it to boot with 2 sticks by taking out battery but when I loaded optimized defaults it wouldnt boot. Now I am in windows with a single stick, will keep working on it.

Gives a lot more options for memory multipliers.

The bios sets the default voltage at 1.13xx and the batch number is in my sig. I got it at Fry's and it was an open box, I guess I got lucky
I also have a 655k that I need to test as well, but I don't think it is going to be as good as my 650

ok i will add it.thanks for the info

There are new bios for these board OCNub, I believe Splave asked stasio and Dino22 about them.

You might wanna try pm'ing Dinos22.



@radaja,OCNub, Splave

Seems like you guys are having lot of fun with these babies. They are indeed very fast and the low heat produce makes it fun to OC beyond 4.5ghz.

Superb results in this thread!

thanks jor and thanks for the heads up about the bios's

Edit: Thanks Jor, I will try f6

im on F6 not sure about the beta though?which is newer or older.



i tried cl6 and all good

i got mine at newegg


very nice,wahts your vid on that chip?i will add your chip to the database

Hey,
Batch is L939B616 and Vid is 1,075

[OC Nub]

Nice timings radaja. I gotta try a a kit of SupetTalent.

Im not sure which bios is latest, tweaktown has f6 and they normally have the latest. I installed the UD6 and first boot no issues running dual ch.

Thank you very much Jor for the Tech Station, it sure makes changing hardware out a breeze.

ahem, you seem to know a thing or 2 about them as well my friend

Looks good nub! I have 2 of those to try out but they are ES (yes cheater)

[OC Nub]

Thanks Splave. This is a whole new ballgame with the unlocked multi, having fun with it.

Very nice on a mini-ITX board Quick overclock, not highest by any means

Vcore at 1.35000V in BIOS, 1.296V at load (Vdroop is enabled). VTT voltage is at 1.21V, DRAM at 1.64V. Still working on memory timings. I believe that they can be better than 7-8-7-18-59-1T. Ambient temperature is approx. 27C. About 20-30 minutes worth of effort to get here, but as I said not the best it can get

[OC Nub]

You got a good chip dejanh, congrats!

[dejanh]

You got a good chip dejanh, congrats!

Thanks I just matched this up with a nice 1180MHz overclock on the iGPU I tried clean 1200MHz, but it won't do without boosting voltage and I do not feel like messing around with iGPU voltage manually (currently on Auto).

[radaja]

nice chip dejanh,looks like it has an awesome IMC
added to the database

Thanks. It is technically my sister's chip since she commisioned me to build her a nice, silent mITX rig for work and her masters program but since I have it here for a couple of days I figured I'd make it sweat a bit before its main purpose becomes word and excel lol

Overall, it does seem like a very good chip, especially considering how "basic" all of the hardware I am using really is I am in love with this little mITX board by Giga. It's a mini-powerhouse. I am thinking to buy one just so I can mess around with it down the line...maybe even sell my i7/X58 based HTPC-overkill and build a little mITX box around this board and chip...who knows...

I'm 7 passes in to 4.51GHz right now, 1.344V at load (1.4V in the BIOS) with Vdroop enabled still. The board craps out around 4.6GHz which is what I tried...the OCP shuts it down but the chip definitely has a lot more in it than 4.6GHz considering that I managed to make a couple of passes at 4.58GHz with about 1.376V at load before the shutdown.

Edit: Also, I have no clearance or mounting issues with the H50 on the GA-H55N-USB3 board, the likes of which were published in the Anand review. Just an FYI for anyone who may be considering a similar combination.

[OC Nub]

Can pass a couple hours of blend at 4500 1.32vcore on the new chip but then bsod, need to work on tweaking. I think its a good chip but not a great chip, my 660 is better for sure. Still its nice not to be limited by the multi, a new experience for me.

[dejanh]

Update, new 4.51GHz run

Vcore at 1.40625V in BIOS, 1.344V at load (Vdroop is enabled). VTT voltage is at 1.23V, DRAM at 1.64V. I do not think I needed a VTT bump but I gave it a very slight bump anyway just to not hassle. A little hotter in here now too, afternoon heat is starting to radiate + no wind. About 28C ambient.

Nice chip, you need to get another chip for your sister and keep that one.

[dejanh]

Nice chip, you need to get another chip for your sister and keep that one.

I'd do it if I was not running X58 everywhere else This is the first foray into the 55-series for me

[OC Nub]

trying higher bclk on the new chip, i could have used more memory but just wanted to see how it did. vcore is as low as i could get it with this multi and bclk.

ran this because it made me laugh, was screwing around in the bios.

haha nice 45 multi

I could use a chip like that! Would you consider selling it to me and getting your sister another one?

P.S. Just out of curiosity... Where did you buy it from?

NCIX, and YGPM

[nolonger]

Very nice chip indeed, Dejanh!

[OC Nub]

Trying a different memory kit and lowering the timings I was able to run this. A 2x1gb kit of HyperX t1 series rated at 2000c8. Tried these settings last night with my Dominators 4x2gb kit but failed at 45min linx.

hypers? I have the t1 3x1gb kit with hypers but 1 stick died so its perfect for p55
sick timmings man

[OC Nub]

I think so, Jor suggested buying them, he said they were hypers. It was actually a 3x1gb kit for my x58 at newegg for 124.00. The timings in bios were 6-7-6-18 but on this ko chip cpuz reads wrong. Trying 6 6 6 18 now at 1800mhz.
