if i cant figure things out seems like ud5 will be my main rig ...am running spi32m with same setting as my ud7 and seems like ud5 is 2 secs faster

I followed your advice and updated to f5x. Everything works great.

Oh yeah..... got sidetracked yesterday thinking about my stuff & forgot to say.. nice CPU/RIG etc

the force is strong in that one

My 8.9.8's should turn up today so I should have something to tinker with over the weekend. It will be good to see how your 8.9.8's run against your 7.10.7's keep up posted.

Funny you say that with your spec... I have had a few lockups posting with F6d & put it down to pushing the board/bios too much. I mention this as when I was trying to put the squeeze on my last 2500K I had several post hangs & on 3 occasions lost my OCZ Vertex. It wouldn’t get detected hung at detecting for ages then got past that & got into bios but the drive wasn’t there. I finally corrupted both bios's & figured enough was enough. This hanging/detection & corruption problem never happened with a normal SATA drive.

Have you asked Dino... he has both UD5 & 7 & may be able to advise what he found.

Great news my friend

**C-N** · 02-18-2011, 02:26 AM

GSkills in the house

wont have time to play with them untill the weekend but they are here.... yay.

Got to give a big

to memoryc & DHL, ordered 4pm Thursday & on my desk 10am Friday... fookin awesome

**flesheatinvirus** · 02-18-2011, 07:56 AM

+1 MemoryC rocks, bought from them many times with fantastic results. Ireland to the states shipping is simply incredible.

**C-N** · 02-19-2011, 02:27 AM

This GSkill stuff is great RAM, not worth upgrading to for 24/7 as the boost is vsmall but boy do they crank benching... 6.9.6.20 no problem, can pull twl into 6, tras down to 62... they get AIDA latency into the low 33's @ 5G all in all I'm v happy to have such flexible RAM.

**bartman1973** · 02-20-2011, 11:51 AM

@C-N wow congrats on your new ram

show us some benchies

... i will send PM to Dino later this week and will ask if he have seen the same thing, ud5 faster tha ud7 in spi, Well either board rocks bigtime anyway but i just wanted to get a good spi board as me and my friends in local forums are doing 5ghz 32m runs ...

Thanks mate, I didn’t really need them but figured as I will save a few hundred on my council tax bill this & next month they were like free

I haven’t got any spare time atm & tbh I'm stoked to be able to run 5G 2133 8.9.8.20 1T @ 1.62v 24/7 anything extra I get benching will be a bonus.

I have never been into Pi I've just used it as a basic stability test for RAM & the time whatever it is don’t matter as long as I can improve on it I'm happy. However as I run out of things to over clock this 5G 32M efficiency thing people are doing is looking exciting. I find myself reading up on OS & Pi tweaks, haven’t tried any of them yet but it’s very interesting. I have run Pi 32M a few times with the new RAM & tbh on rated voltage they don’t do anything I couldn’t on the OCZ's its benching that separates them as the GSkills go a bit tighter & run very stable on a bit lower voltage.

**C-N** · 02-20-2011, 04:06 PM

Just time for one quick bench run with the GSkill's before getting some shuteye. Here's where I'm at with 5.5GHz 2133 8.9.8.20 1T @ 1.62v

**Falkentyne** · 02-20-2011, 06:04 PM

Hehe, nice scores.
but why are you using cpuz 1.56.1 instead of .3 ?

I use W7 for daily use & just plugged in an old deathstar drive I found in the garage that had Server 03 on c/w the old version of CPU-Z I used a month or so back (last time I used the drive) I't didnt bother me as Its just a bench but for info I had 1.485v set in bios + Level 1.

**Falkentyne** · 02-21-2011, 02:08 AM

Deathstar...I remember I had one of those things do the click of death on me years ago...

I have heaps of then maybe 8 or so & to be fair I've never had a problem with any of them but people know what you are talking about when you say Deathstar lol.

**bartman1973** · 02-21-2011, 02:53 AM

Wow C-N nice score! Am still on night shift and will be able to play only with my rig starting wednesday evening

Getting there my friend, just need to work out how to better the efficiency as its a fair bit off what I've seen others do so I'm sure there's still room for improvement.

**stasio** · 02-21-2011, 04:16 AM

C-N,
nice RipjawsX F3-17000CL8D-4GBXMD,hope I'll get my soon.

Thanks buddy, its very nice stuff to run this well on 24/7 voltages. I can’t imagine they are any better than what you currently have though.

Didn't perform well for SB,as my hypers same 2200/C8 (1.66Vdimm).

Running 9-9-9-24-CR1 now.

**bartman1973** · 02-21-2011, 05:34 AM

ahhh really ...am actually planning to get some when i go to the US this coming march ...hmmm seems like i need to skip this ang get the gtx3?

**stasio** · 02-21-2011, 05:36 AM

GTX3 yes.

and Corsair Dominator GT 2133 CL9 (the DIMMs need only 1.5 Volt to operate at 2133 MHz with 9-10-9-27 timings).

Cant do efficent do faster!!!

**C-N** · 02-24-2011, 03:53 PM

Can any of you 3D guys try something out for me....

In Bios press CTRL + F1 to enable a couple hidden features then up your PCI latency from 32 to 128. I have tested this about 5 times now & appear to gain a couple hundred points in 3DMark06 & wondered if you guys see the same.

CTRL + F1 also allow you to disable spread spectrum.... something I usually disable when overclocking. Having said that I can’t see that on my rig it makes any difference.

**flesheatinvirus** · 02-24-2011, 03:58 PM

Yes it works, I have been doin that for a while now. 122 is a sweet spot for this 480GTX.

Oh I didnt even consider trying to tune it... thought it was fixed 32,64,128

Anyway free performance is always welcome.

Edit, Its fixed 32,64,128 how did you get 122?
