There's no wrong testing both, but in me & ah_khoo case its just the matter of $$$, we don't have that luxury
To me if u just wanna test bench using cpu volt of 1.5v and above is no prob just that i don't really condone it to be use for 24/7

Anyway its a shame that Gigabyte only put 4+1 phase in their 890GX mobo's, kinda weird for me coz they put 8+2 phase on some of their 870 mobo

regarding the mobo i also kinda shock ... but the mobo handle oc well even 4+1 phase but sure cannot tahan with high tdp proc

yeah.. same with me also.. tight on budget hehehe
true, 1.5v is a NO when running it 24/7...
maybe Gigabyte try to play safe? what i mean is on 890GX - built-in GC...
while 870 model didn't have built-in GC? (correct me if im wrong)

this... i agree... no la.. im also on tight budget...
hehe thanx... but for now i want to play safe.. anyway thanx for guiding me
in OC my rig..

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7/UD5 is 8+2 design, too bad the UD5 not selling here in Malaysia,otherwise
i would have buy that, the UD7 is damn expensive (RM800+) lol don't worth it or not to belanja that much
moolah for that kind of mobo.

We all been waiting for the UD5 for a long time too, donno why they choose to release the UD7 which is a XL-ATX mobo when most of us don't have server size case
a few while back got an overseas oc member here that uses the UD5 and boy does that mobo flourish with every new bios release..
He got his ram clocking very nice too, the combo of a gud IMC+great mobo does really shine in ram oc'ing..

Yea, why Gigabyte not selling here? i did sent an e-mail to the Gigabyte product distributor in Malaysia,they replied that
that mobo memang tak masuk malaysia. I didn't ask in details why they didnt bring in the mobo here, prolly want to get untung
more on the UD7.

true.. it's kinda unfair
i've also would love to try that mobo out..

nevermind... in the future i might reconsider in upgrading my current spec..
at that time maybe there's much more better mobo...

Well to me it's their lost coz when enthusiast can't buy the UD5 they go looking for the next closest thing eg: Asus Crosshair IV Formula

just save the money for x8 release on the market hahahahaha

Ok another round of test
3.9Ghz now with 200 * 19.5
CPU NB Freq @ 2600
HT Link 2000
CPU/NB volt @ 1.26v
NB Volt @ 1.2v
Vcore @ 1.424v

Will try into gaming a bit

when gonna relese eh? i tot q1..but i think im mistaken

go go go bro..primed?

rumors... but need total overhaul to upgrade.. some says require new chipset to support quad channel rams

I've just undervolt my x4 620 vcore from 1.3250v --> 1.200v, n increase the reference clock to 230Mhz. So, the total speed is 3.0Ghz. Run stress test n it was 59c on full load (using stock hsf). Been wondering, wat is the effect of undervolting? well if use the eqn V=IR, it shouldn't be a problem. but still curious here. maybe there is long term effect? so is it safe if i leave it just like dat? or set it back all to default? bcos dis jan will go back to U ordy. my bro always use dis pc though so lil bit scared if anything happen during im in U. btw if it already run prime without error, gaming will be okay?

for me if it pass the prime test for couple of hours consider 24/7 safe less volt mean less heat so it should be ok just make sure the temp dont hit above 62c

ok thx. im using amd overdrive to set it all. but 1 thing dat really weird, when i play pes 2011, the gameplay speed just increasing. i dont noe wat seems to be the prob. i tested both stock speed n oc, when oc the gameplay quiet fast. its like u add more speed to the gameplay.

Blank screen on 1.27v CPU/NB
Now at 1.3v CPU/NB and ran prime95 around 30 min with max temp of 55-57c
and gaming now around 2 hrs plus.Seems working okay, no bsod yet lol

gotta ask here... i just upgrade my old pc to phenom 555 with asus 870 m/b and saphire 5750

but i'm still using the cheepo powerlogic casing/power with 450w (240w true)

is it sufficient for even normal running?

quad channel? u sure?
no need total overhaul.. 1st, change mobo, then only proc..siap

hi there.. im one of ur thread fan..kekeke

shud be enough..
just dont try to oc la i guess..
since u asking in oc thread, changing a better PSU is required to oc.

fyi, even cheap psu wont kaboom easily..it might turn off if not enough power..but i think wont kaboom in when 1st time not enough power to supply.. if repeatedly, chance is high..

thanks,

i have unlocked it to quad, but didnt overclocked it yet.
it seems will autooff when running certain things... like the flash cafe game dun really know why... others so far still good

good power supply expensive
btw... can the power supply fit in cheap casing? or i have to totally buy a new good casing?

Normally standard ATX casing should be able to fit in the PSU.
How old is u casing btw?
