October what ever
 

October is starting in a few hrs or days what ever :D

Been clocking some old school X58 today, was wondering does anyone still remember how to clock those things?
Can't seem to get this 980x over 6GHz with out crashing and my multimeter is broken so can't really tell what the QPI/VTT volt is :(

board is the GA-X58A-OC
btw, the physical overclocking buttons are AMAZING!

Yoyo koko!
For a good gigabite OCING guide you should look at tweaktown forums. I can't link from my damn androide retard phone. Anything you need from gigabyte is there, bios Etc....
Good luck!
PS shouldn't you ask first, then post pictures?

Disregard double post:ohcrap:

Dude, unfortunately, not all 980X chips will break the 6Ghz barrier :(

I understand, but the thing is it hits 5940MHz REALLY easily! but once it touches the 6GHz line it BSODs :(

I'll go look around in tweaktown
it's been a while since last time i touched the x58s

ask Alan, he'll get you over the hump :thumbsup:

Sweet! I'll ask him when he gets out of the water swimming from China to America XD

wtf is x58?

jkjk 980x is such a tough chip because they vary quite a bit. most retails were not that good, I never had a real good one until I bough that A0....If you can get a 990x ES that is pretty much as good as x58 gets.

You might just be stuck at 59ish man, try lower multi see if you can squeak a bit more out I guess. push volts is all you can do...


PS shit is about to get very real, going to dust the old matrix 7970 off and run some proper 3dmark11 XD and vantage.

Gottcha!

here is my chip. :D

just can't seem to being able to make over the mark x.x
gonna try play with a little more voltages when i get home this weekend
still have over 17L left :p

btw, hey guys, quick question...
I know it's super old but do any of y'all know or remember if D9GMH clocks above 1300 5-5-5 normally? i know D9GKX does it pretty well on average

I know IC doesn't mean much if you have a good stick you have a good stick but i just wanna have some idea what voltage to use and know when to stop so i will not be spending 10hrs on something that's not even gonna move

btw this is the set on the bot. http://hwbot.org/submission/2315664_...dram_671.1_mhz

not bad at all dude :) think how may volts you throwing at it right now?

Thanks bud!

I have 2.46 running into it, which is .01v higher than what my TeamGroup GKX is rated @ 1300 C6 @ 2.30 - 2.45v
I really don't know much about clocking them

and the cool thing is I had all 4 sticks filled at that speed and it passed 1M SPI and almost passed 32M until I decided to go to bed x.x but it looked like it was going to pass (it was at round 23 before i quit)

Trying my best NOT to kill it XD

Just traded my Patriot Sector 5 PGV38G1600ELK + cooler master hyper 121 for a Hanns.G screen, not 100% sure the model of it, but i think it's HH251HPB. 2x HDMI, 1x VGA, 1080p @ 75Hz pretty nice, but it has 1 green dead pix in the dead center...
Gonna try get that fixed, if not just use it for bench 3D with :D

oh and made ice cream with new gf with LN2 :rofl:

jsut noticed something made me feel retarded....

I was pushing muti ONLY not even playing with FSB...
gonna give it try when i get home from school this weekend, it's fall break and let's hope the best ._.

4 more. 3770k tomorrow :/

you are kinda crazy my friend!

Mannumanah

I too have re-caught the crazies...
3 x 3770k's arriving in Romulan space due wednesday :laughing:

@ Alllen & Rom

http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...ead.php?t=5281

Let me know if your second best is decent ....... :)

Looking for a solid 3D performer

What board you using Rom ? just got the MVG in here

10-4 witch

HOLY BALLS! it's RomDom!!!!! :welcome: back! :D




btw, how in the hell do i have so many team power points but almost now actually user points? been trying to find out how it's calculated but can't find it
(is it so MANY points or so MUCH points? @.@)

do ittt!

I'm waiting for a chip back from RMA myself. Really hope its ok for IMC or Core, cause i got neither :P

There's my new best bud Vivi!
Thanks for the welcome home Kico :thumbsup:
Hey WD! I am using the Asrock board Nick gave to each of us, its solid as hell :cool3:

That's awsome ........ :thumbsup:

Good to see you around these part again bro.

Time to have some fun :)

first 3770k 1.24v 5ghz :P
2nd 1.232 5ghz XD

you binning them on air or cold ?

I think air 2c no ht......

I want a 8GHz :P

Plan on spending 1k for a binned chip. or spending at least double that binning your own. Then again with your luck you'll get one first try. lol

well i had a 6.7 2D on my first one delid it and fuck it up and took me 6-7 more to find one about the same.... im done binning cost me more then i would of liked :blush:

now i need some ln2 to test out this ASrock OC Formula :)

been running the delid cpu on the ss since temps dont skyrocket like my bench chip i can get 5.4GHz 4c 8t :laughing:

nothing like ln2 is more Mhzzzzz fun :p

Should be filling the dewar today :D

but still can't get a boy i bet! :taunt:

I've failed you for the last time OCAlliance..
I've failed to being an overclocker as well....

Turn off HT

I've tried almost everything, this is the only way the chip can stay happy...
i cut the core to 2C/no HT didn't even do anything lol

Going to try out some old school 920

fiiiiiilllllliiiiittttuuuuupppp

Just benched 3450 on ln2 for a lil comp @ overclockers they where having and tried to oc the 3770k on the asrock ocf but dimm slots froze over fast :P

http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_3450/

Just got run of 01 with the 4890

http://hwbot.org/submission/2321187_

^ awesome benching bro :D

oc formula is a beast in 01 for sure. you benching with that massive motherboard cooler off? if not I recommend it, gets really wet in there if ya dont :)

found the imc of my dreams lol

try it on ln2 tomorrow, this is the 6.74ghz chip

Um......holy hell?

:D

dear god! nicely done!
