Holy Moly GIGABYTE miniITX H55N-USB3 rocking d i5 655K@4.9GHz 3DMARK06 on air cooling

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

lol what, this board is insane I was thinking at first oh yeah Team AU boys raving over another GB mobo but that thing is really tiny but priming at 4.6GHz..... awesome stuff

mine has my 650 linx stable at 4.8 on air, all while still using the IGP with no problems, on water I think I will be able to get a 5.3-5.4 32m run and I am building my nlited xp as we speak

[grishenko45]

wow.....thanks very much for this amazing review!!!!
ths H55N is amazing!!! like some1 said before - amazing performance to cm2 ratio!!! true!!

such a tiny board but effortless OC'ing!! stable @ 4.8 on air with 655K - great and only about 70c!! this is where the 32nm comes in with lower voltages for higher OC's with less temps.

keep my eye on these chips for possible upgrade

Nice one, 4.8 linx stable on air is very impressive.

Off topic, but nice red nose you have there too

actually the 4.8 was on my i5 650, I haven't even really tested my 655k, however I think I am going to throw it in this board tomorrow and see if I can do any better with it

thanks, she's the , definitely a very special dog.

I'm considering building one of these mini rig's soon. You guys have damn near convinced me... What case's are you guys running? I was eying the LIAN LI PC-Q08B, i5 540.

Kinda stuck on ram heatsink and gpu for the build.

Anyone have pictures of the lian li case?

even better!!! these 32nm's look good - and did you say if it still lets you use the intergrated gpu?

yup mine works fine

I'm using a Lan Gear case, which is still in beta:

http://www.lan-gear.com/miniITX.php

I'm running about 62C on an H50 with 1.4V in BIOS (1.425 via CPUZ). I don't want to burn this thing up like Tom's did. I know it's only a $90 CPU and I actually have a spare, but what's the maxiumum safe voltage for these 32nm for 24/7 use? I know I could probably do 4.7-4.8 Ghz Super Pi benches with more voltage. I have a G6950 btw.

hahaha i dont know if many of you have seen the HWBOT competition thread but man some of the photos are amazing

check out this ME4ME post hahahah

SS + mini-ITX = perfect fit

[chew*]

You know Dino I'm very very dissapointed in gigabyte marketing with this board......Clearly the name H55M-USB3 is not fitting.

I propose a new name for the board. H55PR-USB3.

The Pocket Rocket Edition.

Just did this on water.......I think the name is fitting.

[dinos22]

pocket rocket
yeah man im with you on that one

[chew*]

C7 testing done earlier. C6 results on the way.

This run is a tad tweaked so YRMV as far as time goes.




*Edit*

C6 as promised.



With the saving of buying this board you can finally afford a 5970....and it has no clearance issues......

[geoffsthaboss]

i'm planning on doing a new build with this board and ya...mobo+ i3 530+ 4gb ram will still = less then a 5870 that i'd like to pair with this board (~$330 vs. $400...)

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

wait until my f1 ee comes in I will have some awesome pics.

I am going to pick up an 875k from the Santa Clara Microcenter so I actually have a chance in the first stage.

[chew*]

For those interested I'm sure you can figure out what this is for.

[Boogerlad]

cold bug mod?

[chew*]

cold bug mod?

yep

[geoffsthaboss]

for those that have this board under water, what back plates are you using that don't interfere with the socket backplate already installed on this board

it looks like where this little jut out might interfere?

Some have used washers. I just trimmed plastic on my H50 backplate and ordered a spare mounting kit for 5 bucks.

[dinos22]

chew have you actually tested the mods because trans_am has a different mod that works properly!

Hey fellas did you see the HWBOT competition thread yet? SamOCX just hit 6.6GHz with this little pocket rocket That's impossible

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

that is very nice, I am still waiting for my F1EE unfortunately, however I did pick up an 875k

[stangracin3]

this just shouldn't be possible




Chew*, you need to beg gigabyte for an amd board just like this...

[MassiveOverkill]

Sam won't be holding that record for long.............
