I think i am going back to my x58 platform. I'm honestly not that impressed with this 1155 socket. Still buggy in my honest opinion. Anyone that wants a chip and board let me know. Thanks

hmmm I have felt that sandy bridge is just as stable as X58, except it runs cooler, uses less power and overclocks higher, what specific issues are you having with your setup?

+1 for that

I would agree if you get a good cpu and it overclocks very well. And have ram that doesn't cause issues with your board. But i will order some different ram and pick up a few more chips to see what the deal is. Thanks

LOL @ all the "+1, ++1" comments. You could have put in a real comment if you was actually so happy with it. Just putting in that comment really doesn't help much in a forum.

Edit: Seems to be the chip. It just doesn't scale good past 4.8ghz without shooting a lot of volts to it. So i just need to try some more chips out it seems now. Thanks

Elpida hypers?? it is not conforming with Intel JDEC on SB IMC subtimings.
so go get a better ram which is claimed to be SB- compatible

killer_k we just defend our thread as its for that NOT for X58, u said you dont see dif but we all see them clear, as owi stands elpida its not the taste of SB so try some other RAM, and also u have read here that some IMC on chips are bad

its obvious we will put +1 as we all like this board and SB and we all move to for the reason its cooler, faster and fun

cheers

Well I know what you are saying about getting a good chip, but if you are running hypers on sb they need to be good (i.e. gtx2 or dom gt 7-8-7) in order to run 2133+, if you are going to keep them run them at 1600 6-6-6 or 1866 8-8-8 if possible.

It sucks that most of the sb memory that is good for benching is oos everywhere, but see if you can find any of the 2133 8-9-8 or 7-10-7 kits (or 2200 version) then jump on them and you will be one happy camper.

As for finding a good cpu, man that has been a lot of work since january but it is pure luck and eventually you will find a good one. What exactly are you looking for in a chip? stable 24/7 clocks or a bencher?

Thank you for understanding. It is nice to see someone knows what i am talking about. Like i said it was more my chip then anything and i know the elpida ics wasn't helping. So i will either trade that ram and do a combo on my x58 r3e perhaps. Since they do so well on it. And move forward from there. Thanks

[kagula323]

any compatibily issues between MIVE and Thermalright Archon air cooler? anyone using them?

we all understand mate its just you need to read some pages back, its like common thing that some ppl dont read and just post on last page without looking back, this is xtremesystems its FULL of articles, posts, screens, discoverings, guides, and all comes from our experiences from our money to buy and test things and put them here so others can also learn and we also get feedback to keep on learning...its just the way u entered the thread that was bit rude, i just dont see ANY point to go to X58 cauz u just got a bad chip mem or whatever, you can also read that we all tested various chips to get what we want and this mobo its just the best thing i ever had

I read through all the pages here as i always do. And you can see where some are using elpida ics and they work fine for them. Plus i'm in here reading everyday through articles and post. So don't think i am just some new guy posting trying to get attention or flaming post.

I have both systems so going to either isn't a big deal. But if you think the 1155 isn't buggy and is 100% solid, then that is the way you feel. I still see issues with the boards and uefi settings, etc. I may not post about reviews, benchmarking and hardware. But i know what is going on with my stuff and the ram i use. I was hoping i could make the ram work until i found some ram that i would like to purchase.

The ram works fine up until 2133mhz but it does blue screen here and there. I'm sure if i took the time to adjust each setting i could cure it. But i'm running 1,866mhz and not having to worry about blue screens and crashing now. But just because i have a different opinion or don't see something the way you do. Doesn't mean i am being rude. The forum works off of people opinions, thoughts and input on stuff.

Where i come from opinions, thoughts and suggestions are always welcome. And if someone states what is on their mind then that makes them a real man. As i don't like for people to stand in the back just saying stuff and not trying to stand up for what they say. Either way, I thought i would clear that up, so everyone would know where i stand. If i say something that makes you mad or you don't like, then that is just me i'm going to say whatever i feel like i need to say about you , a item or anything else for that matter.

It is just me, so that is all i can really say. But life goes on and please continue the thread. I will post anything else i find on my issue here. Thanks

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the mIVe-z but my current soundcard is Fatality PCI so I either get a new one or live with the onboard Realtek... I never used the little SupremeFX PCIe x1 unit from my mIIf P45 'cause the Fatality card sounded better. How is the sound on the mIVe?
Thanks!
