[TweakTown]GIGABYTE X58A-OC takes the Intel X58 platform to a new Bclk plateau

[Salty]

Today we have seen a new record set for Bclk (Base Clock) with the X58A-OC board, this was done by TweakTown forum helper Ed a.k.a - Lsdmeasap. He accomplished this feat using the new GA-X58A-OC from GIGABYTE and this was done using phase cooling, an Intel 920 processor and Mushkin memory.

Ed was able to reach 269.28 base clock, which is quite an amazing result considering that in the past many motherboards have only been able to reach a limit of 222 Bclk without needing hardware modifications... and many still have this limit.

Saw this over in the OC section, well done LSD!

Slow QPI, he-he.

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes Tin_ - no other way to do this on X58

Just smashed the current world record, here's a sneak peak (IE Not my highest)! Also made a video booting at 260 and then going up to 275 in windows

I'll make a WR thread tomorrow with my highest result, going for 3Ghz memory action tonight on X58

way to go! woot

[Lsdmeasap]

Haha, thanks man!

It'll be my first WR for anything!! Hopefully no one does higher than what I have held back for a while, at least hopefully not before I even get my thread made about it

[Hondacity]

oh im coming for yah thank goodness i got the right board for it

[Salty]

He's still going!

Well that raises the bar from the old upper bclk limit for a 1366, (267?) and done on a CO stepping i7-920 too. Very well done Lsdmeasap!

Wow, this is pretty insane, slow QPI or not... If this 920 could finish SPI @ 22x then it would be a 6072MHz run!
