[ReverendMaynard]

Not pang like the rest of you lads, but it does the job :eek:

Parts are in the sig :trophy:

[Kal-EL]

I like the blue accents. Very nice, what case is it in?

[ReverendMaynard]

Thanks Kal. The first one is a TTArmour, the second in an Antec 1200.

[Jeffro64]

Welcome to the board... nice setup!

[Kal-EL]

The TT looks snug. The Evga setup with the 1200, roomy?

Much more roomy, pump and res up front. Best part of this setup is when you dismount the cpu block, the board is free to fly out.

[spfoam1]

Very nice looking.....:toast:

[ReverendMaynard]

thanks :)

[Chuchnit]

Very nice looking Reverend! I got a question for ya. What kind of performance at what vdimm have you got out of those pi blacks?

Thanks man,

870 CAS 8 1.65v benchable and 1023 CAS 9 1.65v benchable.

[Chuchnit]

Thanks alot!!

[DrNip]

Lookin mighty damn fine to me!

[ReverendMaynard]

Lookin mighty damn fine to me!

Thanks Dr. Just sold the Extreme, C0 and some Patriots to fund some up grades. I think the eVGA board is a bit stronger on the top end, but damn I'm going to miss that Gigabyte. Brilliant bios.

[Gunslinger]

I like the dark blue and black pictures, very nice.

[DrNip]

I hear ya. I will prolly miss the DFI bios when switching to the Classified as it had a great layout as well as easy to use. Who knows, maybe the Classy will be just as good. I am thinking that I will use the Classy for strictly sub zero land and the DFI for my grocery getter.

Sounds like a great plan Doc. :)

I still miss my DFI X48 DK Plus, that thing was a beast with an 8600.

The Classy's bios is the same as the X58 Sli's, and all I can say is that it's straight forward, not close to Oskar Wu's brilliantly sophisticated creations.

[punx223]

wow very nice lookin setup.... something about tubes going every direction just looks AWESOME

[Splave]

say good-bye to that ugly ass tri sli connector on the extreme ;) I couldnt stand that thing.

[ReverendMaynard]

It'd look alright with the Giga cards, but yeah it's pretty fugly.

[RomDominance]

There sure is some super cool shit happening at both of our forums....upgrades for everyone!

[ReverendMaynard]

ended up with a really early D0 batch. 3844A759.

[DrNip]

Those are supposedly nice batches.

[ReverendMaynard]

from what I've read, the earlier the better. We'll see tonight. If it doesn't rol at 4.6+ HT on under water it's going through a brick wall.

[DrNip]

I am positive it will.

[ocgmj]

I want to see 4.8 :p

[ReverendMaynard]

I want to see 4.8 :p

that's the goal :P

[Gunslinger]

Bah, shoot for 5GHz validation.

[RomDominance]

I agree....its important to have modest and realistic goals.:alien:

[ReverendMaynard]

Bah, shoot for 5GHz validation.

I'm talking 4.8ghz wprime stable, validations aren't worth anything these days.

[Archer]

I haven't really done much with Intel in the past few years so I am interested to see how much the process really differs from an AMD OC. I say run it till it wont run no more and see how long you can hold it.

[ReverendMaynard]

I'm not really sure that I'll be sharing the process...it's redundant in a site with a crew that are all capable, hard core clockers with i7 experience but it'll get pinned to the max and if I don't see smoke I know I can add more volts :)

Last AMD setup I ran was an ASUS A8R32-MVP with an opty 165 3ghz on air back when AMD was king. Still waiting for them to get their poop in a group.

[Archer]

That's cool!! I know the ropes as all are basically the same just the details that differ. I am stuck with AMD at least till the i5:D

[ReverendMaynard]

clocks from first boot, so far really stable and decent temps.

[Kal-EL]

Pure delightfullness bro, thx, keep us updated :D

[ReverendMaynard]

thanks Supes, can't wait to turn the screws and see what this bitch's got!

[Kal-EL]

thanks Supes, can't wait to turn the screws and see what this bitch's got!

You think u can't wait, I love this stuff, like a kid at the candy store waiting for more treats to come my way. Pump it up and pwn it! :trophy:

[Chuchnit]

Very nice Reverend!! Keep pumping them clocks :D

[ReverendMaynard]

done. trying to at least freeze it to get some feedback....but nodda :)

[Chuchnit]

Dang, I think you are the only guy left on your team without a single stage, lol. Keep it rocking!

[Kal-EL]

And it begins, zero voltage bump and the clocks continue to increase :D

[Chuchnit]

I wanna see some 4.8ghz wprime :D

[ReverendMaynard]

I wanna see some 4.8ghz wprime :D

could be in the cards, could not be but it'll be fun trying :D

[Chuchnit]

could be in the cards, could not be but it'll be fun trying :D

Having fun is what's important ;)

[ReverendMaynard]

Having fun is what's important ;)

Word. Wish more had that philosophy.

[ocgmj]

Once again killer results brother. Enjoy the ride. :)

[Peen]

Nice setup you got there. BTW, you a Tool fan?

[ReverendMaynard]

Nice setup you got there. BTW, you a Tool fan?

Thanks and yes I'm a tool fan :)

[Kal-EL]

Thanks and yes I'm a tool fan :)

Thats funny, so am I. The song in the media player at the bottom of this page is my overclocking song:

http://www.x-cade.com/members.html

[ReverendMaynard]

Nice. I bench to the Opiate EP.

[Peen]

Opiate FTW. Tool is best band of all time to me.

[Kal-EL]

I just like the guitar mostly.

[Peen]

You gotta listen more to Danny Carey on the drums he is insane, but I love Maynard too.

[ReverendMaynard]

Being a guitar player, I love Adam Jone's style...but Danny Carey is hands down the second best drummer to ever sit behind the skins, right behind Neil Peart from Rush.

Just reserved 6 tickets to the Aug. Toronto show. Can't wait.

[Peen]

A Tool show?

[ReverendMaynard]

A Tool show?

Yep! Hope they bust out some obscure stuff like the last show. They actually played Flood.

[RomDominance]

Saw Rush about a year ago with one of my best buds in Phoenix. Glad he talked this old man into goin, when Neil went into his solo in witchhunt, yyz, and the trees....I almost pissed my pants.....He is right up there with David Gilmour in my mind as the best in their field. The folks in Romulas claim those two for our very own.:D

this thead needs more gangster rap in it

Bushwick Mother F**king Bil Gangster enough?

[tajoh111]

You sold the gigabyte!! I thought you were going to stay on f4j forever.

From what I have seen those, unless you are on a ss, your not going to reach higher clocks on a classified. Those things tear it up with a semi decent multiplier and high bclk.

what's your handle at XS tajoh? I needed a D0 desperately and fund wise, the Giga got me enough to pay for it straight up so I bit the bullet. I miss it. Very finesse type board and super efficient.

[tajoh111]

Sorry I don't know the phrase, but i guess you are asking me what do I think of XS now. I think's it not a bad community(but it is getting worse) but too much hate for nvidia, and too much love for AMD. Its like people want NV to go the way of the dodo.

But man, the gigabyte wall of 222bclk is felt so hard with a 21x multiplier its not even funny. D0 are so much funner to bench than c0 so I understand the need to make money, but reverandmaynard, you had a good c0 from what i remember. And you loved the gigabyte. Mine was moderately ok, I could bench at 4.3 ghz with HT on, but now I can bench with 4.66ghz which is the limit because of the wall.

The classifieds are not the most efficient from what i have seen, but get it cold and you can use a high multiplier and a high bclk.

I hope you get that classified under cold. I have seen way too many canadian buy the classified and just use air which is a complete waste because they are way too temp limited to get the most out of the board.

[ReverendMaynard]

haha, actually I was asking what your name was at XS, but I've noticed it's the same. Sorry about the confusion, but your points are well spoken..it's not the same there.

That C0 was a beast, I'm surprised you remembered it. Topped out at 4.577ghz but she had a weak IMC so it couldn't handle 2:10.

I'm not interested in the Classified, this vanilla X58 does me well enough got now so when DFI brings out a proper board, I'll hit it for some action.

[Kal-EL]

Sorry I don't know the phrase,

Tajoh, "Handle" is a slang term for nickname. Truck drivers using cb radios had handle(s) like "Rubber Ducky" "Bandit" "Boss Hoss" "Tajoh".

Ever watch the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" :D
