nice one there mate...

he just mentioned that he's gonna do a review, i'm d one who asked him to bulk...

dun anyhow put wrong news make evelione hepi for nothing leh...

125w yes, but not so recommended or long run i guess...

there're risk there as 125w not really supported by 4-phase, let alone 140w...

i second that...

actually intel is kinda affordable nowadays... not necessarily u must go for super high end one... low range e series can pawn amd x2 most if not all d time.

hot flash, but u need another same mobo to flash d corrupted bios chip.


yeah, saw that in xs too mate. but i dun think it's safe for d long run to run a 140w chip on 4 phase mobo...

well, u can always sell 'em off asap once u've set ya heart on intel to prevent losin more ya $$$. remember, d longer u keep 'em, d more they'll depreciate.

as for d oc thingy, have no comment since i never got a chance to play w/ any 780 board. but i reckon 2.5~2.6GHz is achievable.

few things you need to take note of when ur overclockin amd quaddy:

• press control + f1 in bios main page to unlock d advance settings (for gigabyte mobo)
• try to use lower divider for ya ram 1st to find out d max clock for ya chip, do not oc both at d sametime (else u'll end up wastin more time)
• keep htt link around 1800~2000
• keep nb frequency higher than htt link value
• up few notches of vNB if ur runnin ya ram w/ higher divider like 800/1066

that's all i can think of, d rest i'll leave it to bro cyloh who's much better in overclockin quaddy atm...

for vcore, try to add one notch at a time, same with vNB. if ur not stressin ya ram much (by usin lower divider) there's no need for u to bump d vdimm. 1.85~1.9v should be sufficient enuf...

try to clear cmos to boot ya pc again, if failed to boot mean excessive oc is done...

btw, failed to boot is normal as long as u didn't smell anything burn...

d guru has spoken...

u were just bein humble bro...

i think d hyper x could be d culprit. i owned one pair, for less than a day... they sucks... iirc, hyper x 800 got 2 type. list out yas... (like khx bla bla bla...)

finally...

keep it up mate...

i really think there's something wrong w/ d sb, i was managed to prime stable @ 2.55GHz just now (for 1 hour) but after i launch qucktime to play movie, freeze screen followed by bsod...


another reason for me to retire temporarily bro???

i would leave it enable if i were u, disablin it can lead to slowness in some applications iirc...

dun be overconfident, thou i would like it to be true...

i believe u both are referrin 2 diff scenario. u referrin to corrupted bios while bro 8tvt is referrin to bad flash. usually a board is as gud as dead after a bad flash, there's nothin more u can do other than hotflash it.

did u launch or close any program(s) before & after 1st attempt?

isn't it something missin?

increase [vNB 1.1] to 1.20v, add some vcore, voila... there u go...

try to include cpu-z showin ya cpu & memory timin mate...

u need to take d orthos screenshot along with d cpu-z, else ya entry won't be considered i think...

for example like this...

u don't need to do exactly what i did... be flexible abit lah...

something like this would be enuf...

mind to post ya cpu-z showin cpu & mem timin tabs mate? do include hardware monitor too if possible to show d voltages...
