SandyBridge 2D madness - let's tweak for the best 1m, 32m, pifast and wprime!

ok I'm tired of all thoose gigabyte scores - is ud3 similar in perf? Same options available as higher priced boards? if yes, I'm gonna get one asap - I always loved gb-boards for their lower priced boards which had almost the same capabilities as the bigger ones. think it is time to get back to the roots - you teased me enough, need to test it by myself

**Splave** · 02-14-2011, 03:16 PM

SoF idk if you can get the "special bios'" with ud3

**SoF** · 02-14-2011, 03:40 PM

If I wanna test UD3 - slaggy dinos needs to get me one

so this raises another question: which ones have "special bios" currently for sure?

he doesnt work for your local office

you are working 24/7 all over the world, nobody told you yet?!

So what about the boards I should consider buying? (it's been a while I asked somebody which board to buy - answer wrong, feel a fist in your....you know where it hurts

)

Ask their CEO for special bios

**dinos22** · 02-14-2011, 04:20 PM

ive only had a lot of experience with UD5 and UD7 and they are both the same petty much

i will get a UD3R soon and start working on that board to see where its at bios wise

**SoF** · 02-14-2011, 04:33 PM

UD5 and UD7 are surely nice boards, but too expensive for the mass and "el cheapo suckers" like me

Let me know about UD3R, if you say it is ready to rock, I'll get one within' the same second

Probly F8x have problem to scale >5.8G..unless cpu totally freq. limited. Most if not all of >5.8G runs were with the other board

Mad222 was showing his 5.83Ghz OC on facebook with a UD7 on F7e and F7f he reckons they both do it

try using non-hypers and see if it will help push a bit more

he says he was testing at -80C and went from 5.7 to 5.83 from normal to subzero cooling

Wifey bought me a belated BD present, chip is kind of a pain but it's workable, I can deal with it.

Just LSC and theme, not really concerned with score yet, futzing with imc and max limits, getting a baseline.

**dinos22** · 02-14-2011, 06:33 PM

oh really? happy birthday man, wife has golden hands it seems with a 5.5 chip straight up

Golden hands were actually mine, went to microcenter, bull

ted with a sales clerk about ocing for a while, slipped him a 20 spot and he let me look through like 100 chips.

I just picked a winner, part luck part based on some batch info i have been collecting.

**dinos22** · 02-14-2011, 06:44 PM

i wanna see the instore camera footage of that LMAO

so whats the secret in choosing the right chip?
s/n? batch? 4digit on the chip?

I usually just go in and ask if I can look at the batches... they always say yes lol

F8x went quite well for me with +5,8GHz:

crazy CPUs people

**Linuxfan** · 02-14-2011, 09:03 PM

Here's my best run from this chip. Absolutely maxed I'm afraid.

With the CPU running -40oC on the SS unit, the ram didn't want to run with the 1866 or 2133 divider so it seems I'm lacking a few seconds because of my ram speed.
If you guys can get a run with same ram speeds and CPU speed I'd be interested in seeing your efficiency.
