I managed to snag a UD9 on Newegg OB for $370 a few minutes ago. Will definitely compare these two!

hmm just becareful of ure proc

heard horror stories when u swap back a cpu from gaygay..

[bassplayer]

Yeah it actually happened to me as I have an EX58-UD4P.

Apparently it was fixed on the X58A series.

hello,

i have tryed 2 cpus and both on r3e are stuck at 219-220 bclk....cannot boot over that wall....
i read that other guys had this issue...any solution ?

are you doing 2d or 3d ?

what pci-e mhz have you used ?

[KanGaXx]

i don't think is important 2d or 3d when trying max bclk
i have multi at x15

i tryed pci-ex 100~120 with no success

[Rasmus66]

What's the highest BCLK achieved without SM enabled?

My old R3E board did 250 mhz blck without SM enabled

for max you would have to use slowmode

My old R3E board did 250 mhz blck without SM enabled

was that on any cpu ?

im at 250 blck right now but in slowmode

Only tested with a very good I7 920.

I'm sorry, but you are misleading people. When I click on your HWbot profile, I see you were using Slow Mode to achieve 250MHz BCLK.

I have not uploaded the 250 mhz blck without SM result to hwbot

That score is made with my first Asus R3E and another I7 920 i dont have anymore.

yes you have right =) Cuz

slowmode enable and 250 bclk give Qpi at 4000mhz+
slowmode disable and 250 bclk give 5000mhz at Qpi link

here is mine 257 Bclk and slowmode enable and qpi at 4117mhz and taken by bios 1005

Interesting.

Slow mode at 266 still gives me QPI much lower than 4GHz.

Here's mine at 266 BCLK and 3200MHz QPI:



EDIT: BIOS 0878

yey.

lol i'm cryin @ 4.5

[playground]

What is maximum safe PCI-E for benching?

SlowMode makes QPI run @12x, so 266x12=3192

[zoson]

lol i'm cryin @ 4.5

my cooler is at its limit. just 3x 120mm rads. It all fits neatly in my PC-A10B though!

I was commenting on what PytonOrm said above me. He said at 250 BCLK, QPI runs at 4GHz (which is incorrect). I was just showing that.

I know. I was just agreeing with you.

It can get very hot if you get the leak in the cooling system when you play games...



my lovely I930 is still alive, using it now...

Ok sorry about that dude. but yeah mabe i have wrong but explain why mine 257 bclk and qpi at 4117mhz is more than yours
under 4ghz qpi link ? you runs at 266 bclk should be more than mine
slow mode disable should be 5GHz+ at qpi ?

[bassplayer]

I have no idea. Maybe slow mode is different with Gulftown? Can you post a CPU-Z shot?
