now cpu path really make headache..
donno which path to take.. upgrading would be troublesome..
confused weh!

Tau xper, if they really go the path like Intel doing, that is to have different socket for Llano & socket for Bulldozer then i'd say rugi wooo..
We have to buy a whole platform just to test a cpu, please mr.green camp don't make the same mistake.. huhuhu..

that Llano not for mobile eh?
then what after AM3+?

man if i want to switch donno until when it will last..
not only amd.. intel also the same..

better stick with current rig and wait for stable path..
boring edy need change hardware and clean install everything..

Hahaha u got an OC quad core + HD6850, what u wanna change somemore meh?

that mobo is not for oc actually.. ok..i take ur advice..no ecs.. but also no same model HW to me.. so i will seek another option..

no..i mean reviews from review websites not so good.. they tend to review more on the looks and features rather then reviewing about oc.

@darkriez,
since u oc with IGP, u try disable the UMA.. if cant, try reducing the amount of UMA when u try high clock..and also OC ur sideport lil bit if bios allows u to..that will permit higher HTT

Ahha no need to worry which path to take le.

We'll just see how it performs and announced then decide.But we cannot do anything with socket also because its architechtural differences.

This is a cheap mini atx board. Dont kill your mobo again.
Should get better board for OC. PWM also only 4+1. Like me, I only unlock to quad core. 3.3Ghz stock is good enough for me.
I afraid the PWM and the mobo would not take 4Ghz oc in the long run.

agree with u..

evo not die because of OC.. im using athlon2 x2 and single core that far more cooler and less stressful to the PWM.. just bad luck i guess...
or.... IMC phase that died dono..but im very sure not the CPU pwm.. and i dont like insane voltage on my CPUZ also.. so most of the time stays below 1.4v

ok..thanks.. noted..

hahaha. can trust you or not. mild oc only?
save electricity bills and the world. the asus is also 4+1.

so far stable at 2.5ghz.. hope when i got my gpu this end of month can stable at 3.0 or 3.2.. i used silent knight n the temp show at idle 40' is it high?

Silent knight? Xigmatek ka? 40c idle for an AM2+ cpu should be ok, IMO they tend to be a bit more heaty than their AM3 breathen due to their earlier stepping

yeah.. for non 890 chipset with 8+2 is very2 limited.. if 890 consider high end and no no to me d..
but still i think 4+1 might enough for me...

and im no kidding that i dont OC that hard.. why? since i dont even need the extra power.. just to run opera, play old LAN games and listen to music.. no cpu hunger task at all..

@guys..
u guys increase the vIMC perpendicular to ram clock?

psst..sorry my bad english..i donno how to say it..
like want to increase ram clock, increase vIMC along..

aiseh kunta, buy the most expensive mobo will solve all the headache

still using the 550be that you handpicked for me unlock to X4 oced to 3.6 couple with gtx460 play any games nicely until next year waiting for bulldozer..nice timing to upgrade

asus 870 w/ 4+1 pwm then? i know u want a board w igp, but if ur into ram clockin u wouldn't want ram oc hindered by igp? i reckon asus is one of d best in d market for ram oc > bet ur aware of that too. but still, i expect d board will be bug by overvolt/undervolt issue, typical asus 8xx boards problem, even d chiv oso d same (& my evo 880)...

bio 890gxe is available here, but d price is almost equal to giga's 870. welcome to singapore where almost everything is good (or nice to d eyes) but come w a hefty price...

yeah, it's safer to play d "wait & see" game... upgradin during this stage is a nono unless one can get a super gud deal in 2nd hand stuff. gettin a premium board at this point of time is definitely a investment suicide.

shouldn't be a problem for dual core @ 4GHz thou, but anything more than that mite be a problem, ofcoz it depends on d volt required for 4ghz too.

ermm, i think u mean proportional instead? a notch of 2 is fine w/ me, but not like 0.1 or anything more than that. mebe i'm just bein kiasi but better safe than sorry...

I am an AMD guy I must admit. Intel performs better at the same clocks....but having virtually no walls when extreme cooling Phenom II is enticing. I like the underdog And I also love gigabyte boards. Very sturdy, and do the best under extreme conditions.
Mostly everything is on my blog
Going to get into some liquid nitrogen soon!


Thanks man! Glad they found their way here. Looks like a good community.

Thanks man. My board is actually not a new rev. Rev 2.0 UD5. To get 2000MHz+ on on the UD7 you need rev 2.1 which is odd...
Yeah they are great sticks but there are better out there. I need a set that will do 6-6-6 @ 1800MHz

woot, that makes ya oc even better coz gigabyte boards of late usually clock ram better on latter rev. yeah, read bout d ud7 rev. 2.1 in xs too, chew mentioned that, didn't he?

time to get a pair of super talent? elpida hyper ftw...

Yep. Chew was actually kind of confused that the rev 2.0 of the UD5 would clock better than the Rev 2.0 UD7 when I told him.

Yeah if I could find some hypers then the game is on

Also wanted to share this with you guys. Found this contest and thought some of you guys would wanna enter.

ud5 clocks ram better than older rev ud7? hmm... logically, it shouldn't be this way...

where r u located mate? sadly super talent is not easily available in our region, we can only place our hopes on adata 1866 & dom gt rev 2.x which d latter bein better clocker from what i remember.

thanks for sharing...

i got something to share here too... a contest @ vrz...
