UD7 otw

They both great boards that clock alike so imo the only thing that can split them are features, if you need them you need them if you dont you dont....

is turbo working properly on UD5 boards? I posted in the UD4 thread about the UD4 not working right, just wondering here... for example, 46x/47x/48x/48x (4/3/2/1) and it never goes past 46 even with power draw unlocked.

so I'm not sure about the UD5 or UD7 but the UD4 seems real buggy, and people are complaining about a lot of quirks.

and what about individual core clock control? I heard some other brand boards can control each core individually... like one weak core you could have at 4.9 and the rest at 5.0 if that one core is holding you back. or am i misinformed?

I'm asking, because I may upgrade to the UD5 when It comes time to replace my UD4. that is, if microcenter will still let me get a refund in april or exchange and pay the difference for a UD5. (don't want to wait 2 months without a computer...)

Thanks

Can’t 100% say as I only used turbo a couple times just to see what it did. It works in as much as the auto ratio gives you the multi you set so yes if you set 50 & leave it all auto you get 50. I know the power control thingy’s work as well because if you set them to say 100w the cpu will throttle the multi back under load as its not getting enough juice to run.

I don’t think 46/47/48 etc work, I think it does lower down in the 30's but I think from memory you cant run one core at 50 & others lower...

Got my rig all cased up & CPU under water now, not very impressed with temps tbh but will try a few re-seats tonight & see if It can do better.

Got the 6950 up to 970 x 1500 as well... just for benching when I get round to it.

Guys I got a curly one over here, My 2500K is solid @ x55 x 1000 bios bclk yet 1001 wont boot, locks the board up & my Vertex has lost the ability to be detected by bios 3 times as a result. Its like the bios has no table to allow a 2500K to go faster!!

Has anyone got there 2500K past x55 1000?
