umimpressive.................j/p. What cooling, Dumo?

[Dumo]

Single stage

How do you like the mobo Dumo? Is performance on par with the 790FX chipset? How about RAM overclocking to high speeds like 2000mhz? Any performance gains going from low cas at 1333 vs cas 9 at 2000 speeds?

Still testing it Daseto

Don't know yet if it quicker than 790FX, but overall board really easy to overclock NB and memory. Only thing is my Corsair 1600 C6 can't really scale up to 1930+ with decent cas.
Need to get those GTX2

Max Vcore 1.85V

how does this compare to the MSI 980a board?

[Swanie]

Dumo How your system running?

[Dumo]

I got problem with NB clocking on LN2

[Swanie]

that not good news for you . Not a big issue for myself as i dont do LN2....just normal WC for me. If i can run my Thuban @3500 stable and 2 GTX's 480 i will be happy. 4 May must come!!!!!

[fbmbirds]

but you were able to unlock the 2 cores?

[Swanie]

Dumo did run your Thuban on this mobo? I installed mine and it boots fine -all default but i cant even OC 1MHZ then it does not boot. This is so frustrating. I am not the best OC but this is not good. My memory i even de-clocked to 1066.

It ran ok Swanie....

[Swanie]

OK thanks for the info. Can you recall your settings? O yes my CPU is the following: CCBE CB 1008FPAW. Do you know if they good or not?

[Swanie]

O yes Dumo . Was there a option for you to disable turbo?

[Dumo]

With the latest bios (Asus only released 2 bios for this board so far) I still can't disable turbo with bios 0603
Turbo V EVO not working either

[fbmbirds]

so how easy was it to unlock the 2 other cores

[Swanie]

Yes the same here. TurboV not working and no option to disbale Turbo. Well got it to OC on this mobo. If i leave the CPU Ratio on Auto and set the CPU to 242 i get 3388 Mhz and then the Turbo kicks in it goes to 3812Mhz.

When i set the CPU Ratio to 14.0 and the CPU to 272 i get 3812.8mhz. I boots and all seems fine( although my games crash to desktop :exe stopped working..etc.) More testing to come

[fbmbirds]

what setting do i need to input to unlock the other 2 cores?

i do some things and it says 2 core activated

[Swanie]

Dumo what was your score with 1055T and 1 GTX480 in 06

[fbmbirds]

any update on this boards overclocking

[legendsohai]

so what is the vcore voltage that you guys used in this board in order to overclock 1055T up to 4ghz?

[fbmbirds]

i have mine set to 1.45 for 4ghz on a 1090t. but i never went above 1.55 so play around with that
