***Unofficial GA-X58A-UD5/UD7* rev 2.0* Discussion Thread

[sin0822]

it should work on auto, the first time you boot up it should automatically do it. But yea i was going to say force would also do it, instead of auto or onchip. Do you have a c300? b/c I do and after updating firmware i dont get better results, but I am using msahci drivers not marvell. Marvell drivers are looking so very tempting.

I don't have any drivers plugged to marvel controller, just using a black WD 1TB.
You can also try the new RST10 instead of msahci, it should give you better performance.

What's the difference between a high Gflops and lower?
More performance? Can u show which benchmark u will see the difference?

What's the difference between a high Gflops and lower?

GFlops is an combination of CPU and memory throughput. At a given cpu setting, raising the GFlops by tweaking the RAM will increase the overall performance of the pc (as long as it remains stable).

I don't have any proof, but it would seem any thing that is memory intensive would benefit from it performing faster.

I have seen pc's that had a higher Ghz with loose memory out-performed (benchmarks, etc.) by a pc that had a lower Ghz with tight memory.

Here are a couple of pics that show what I am talking about. You will see that the 4.6 setup outperforms the 4.65 setup. It finishes Linx 14 seconds faster for the same problem and memory size, even though it has a slower proc speed. Because it has a higher GFlop throughput, it performs better - at least in Linx - but it would proportional to the amount of memory used in the app/benchmark.

No those are drivers for the ICH10R, I'm using Marvell SE9128, people lower the cpu pll to lower temps, ive actually seen people take it upto 1.9v for insanely high OCs, me myself raise it as well.
