meh... it's not bout capability bro, it's bout whether u have time to burn for trials & errors.

u can contact d seller to place ya order since ur located @ sg bro. he is doin small scale business so it's like collect orders > wait for sufficient orders > place order. i understand d situation. so expect no review from me nemore coz elite is sellin like hotcakes if compared to others.

sorry to let u down bro, i dun think i'll be gettin any, d elite will never have spare set until i place an order too...

a warmth welcome for u sir... i'd say CHV for u sir, ud7 is good but CHV is records breaker for a reason...

Lol... true that bro. While uefi is not that important, it's d ram mileage part prevent me goin for giga, despite d sexay look of their matte black pcb. Apart from that, they still continue w d rev thing which make early adopters d white mices. Not to mention d huge vdrop issue on certain models thou they mite get it fixed by now. Other than weaker coolin @ pwm n d drmos which not really favored by many, i'd say msi have had significant improvement. Thou i whine alot but msi always held a special place in my heart. Asus have their own fair share of issues, but hw n sw tools wise they impressed me d most, hence i recommended it to my neighbor.

piledriver for u sir... u can grab a cheap fx4 to warm up 1st ma...

performance wise deneb is better but d fun fx4 can offer (cpu & ram oc) is irresistible sir.

more details pls... any error message/sign?

oc or stock?

try toggle around SATA setting between IDE & ACHI. iirc some sata hdd have problem with ACHI mode.

Is d os installed on diff mobo b4? Try memtesting d ram. Also, try goin into safe mode to check whether its is hw or os issue. If u have problem goin into safe mode there are chances that somethg is wrong with ya hw or bios setting.

If can enter safe mode definitely no hw issue ledi. Reformat d windows will do, or uninstall hw driver on previous mobo includin gpu driver.

try to stay in safe mode for longer time like 20 mins, if possible, try to run prime95 in safe mode too. if everything goes fine i suspect it's driver issue.

how was d memtest result? u have another hdd to os installation test?

wait a minute, is there any chance that u enable core unlocking feature in BIOS?

try to place ya ram @ red slots and 1 stick at a time then memtest d sticks again?

Woot...great hoot there sir... both shud be on par... what turn me off is d color scheme...

wecan expect great results comin our ways, yeay!!!!

i was wondering was it bekos of acpi srat table thingy (or somethg like that) causin this... neway, glad that u had it up n runnin now...

Canvcore be further reduced? It' s kinda high to my liking but nevertheless, congratz of havin it unlocked n stable. Bump a notch or 2 nb muliplier... below stock not gonna help even with high cpu clock.

superbly done mate! nice to see 2300MHz done on chv. vdimm looks fine for such frequency but isn't it d imc volt is a 'lil too high? 1.4v mite degrade it if u were to run it on 24/7... am still strugglin with over 2200MHz on my psc sticks (ocz 2k 9-9-9).

can i request for an hour of blend test on 2300MHz. I give up on windows memtest for quite sometimes ledi...

not so sure bout deneb sir but ram oc usin regor/rana had been impressive on asus 8xx boards. i don't remember needin > 1.3v for 1900MHz. perhaps d imc of ya chip has been degraded over times or it just not that into ram oc.

exactly dato...

i blame it on d ram sir. 8gb kit could be more taxing or imc i guess, some more corsair ram have not been impressive (bar gt series which cost a bomb) for quite some times already (no offense). i remember clockin a pair of bbse ram on biostar 790gx a3+ @ 1700 (7-7-7) w/ X4 B50, don't think i pumped high imc volt to make 'em stable.

well, there's no shame if d hw already been max out sir... as tweaker we just give our best & d rest it's all bout d hw already.

thx in advance bro.

ripjaws x 1600 cl9 8gb is a biatch eh? so fookin hard to clock 'em...

that's pretty much d max for 24/7 dato, very few can surpass 2700Mhz i reckoned. mine top up @ 2400~2500MHz only. it could be user problem thou.

my latest attempt...

as mentioned, it was done on entry level wc.

one cant expect value ram to do wonders nowadays, considerin how cheap they're priced. 1600 is possible but don't expect same timing, infact, they need to be loosened alot.

not that i dont wanna do a review, but it's kinda pointless to me as we all know fx will be humiliated by its predecessors in most test.

bd cpu-nb (24/7) clock varies from 2400~2700 (very2 rare), 2400 is quite common for all d chips i tested.

i need a pair of decent ram + lotsa reading/questionnaires in order to achieve decent clock on ram, so far i haven't broken 2200MHz wall which is kinda sad. i see ppl doing 2400 or above w/o sweat, well, that's what diff a boy from a man i guess. still lotsa things to be learned.

apart from fun in cpu/ram oc, i cant really find any good thing to talk about bro... we all knew ipc of BD is somehow screwed... but still, am a happy BD tweaker...

ignore d ram timing, it's just a quickie test.
