I have now tested two different boards and two different chips subzero with my NB frozen. Both chips had the exact same wall at 670.6 FSB and from searching around, it seems like quite a few oth…

The title pretty much sums up what im looking for. This is what im running, totally new to overclocking but my set up is pretty beast. i know this is a benchmark but its the only way i know how to show my rig without typing it all out. Intel Core i7-8700K CPU @ 4400.0MHz - 2354 XTU marks on HWBOT

The Base GPU Clock is 1090 Mhz Memory is 1750 Mhz

Still rock solid in 2018

The Blue Beast!

various types of HD 3470. can have DDR2 or DDR3

This is the i7 5775c/i5 5675c discussion thread. The I7 5775c/i5 5675c are cpus for Z97 with a bit better gaming performance than the i7 7700k if overclocked. Review Here It's a good upgrade if still on Z97 without having to upgrade motherboard and ram to ddr4. It's a low power cpu easy to overclock to 4.1/4.2 Ghz.The only problem ram overclocking is a bit hard,ddr3 2400mhz with tight timings is the sweet spot,going over 2400mhz you can end up loosing pci-e lanes and get worse gpu performance (depends by the motherboard),i managed to get 2666 working on the z97m ocf but will increase latency and lowering the timings won't change that much and won't bo…

The problem it that I go several reading to say different type of memory, but then I had better than that, so I corrected mine, I think that I would of knot of know if I did go looking for replacement memory, but I don't know if it is in reference to compared to the original name? Thanks, GWayneT.

Is this board really so weak compared to Gigabyte and Biostar in terms of fsb overclocking or is it just shadowed by REX being almost as expensive?

lol

Has anyone tried running E7 Xeons on regular Dual Socket 2011 boards that support E5? Looking at things like E7-4890v2, but I don't have the funds for the huge quad socket boards. I assume it won't work, but if anyone has experience, please let me know.

HI, my mobo is pro-e, now i m running on this mobo with bios 8F on i7 920 no problem so far here. But if i put xeon E5649 here and turn PC on, it start like on 1s, then restart, PC is "running" like for 15s but nothink happened, black screen no lights on keyboard, after 15s restart, then 1s, then 15s.... I have 2 this xeons, problem is with both I see on hwbot and on web xeons are working on this mobo but i think i need some moded BIOS (updated microcodes for xeons). Can someone help me or tell me some site where i can download this modified BIOS?

I bought a R3e BE some time ago from a gamer just to be sure it wasn’t abused . I tested it when i got it,everything seemed fine so i put it back in the closet . Months later i installed it and when i pressed Power button it had no reaction,only the Led was on but nothing was happening. Whatever i tryed it remained in this state. Recently i saw Derbauer washing the boards and dry them after so i did tge same and it wirked,the board was booting but only sometimes i got the chance to go into bios. Basically ,if i press clr cmos and power buton many times,eventually it is gonna take it boot in bios and after windows. I can restart it and boot again window…

I remember back in the day, sometimes I would receive motherboards in brown cardboard boxes meant for mobos that came with no accessories, just the board itself (perhaps these boards were from ASUS?). Replacing the bigger, stock boxes would be helpful to save storage space - and also for labeling boxes more easily. But, where can one buy boxes like this?

Fun chip I like the 2600K

Hi, maybe one of you can help me, my Rampage II doesnt want to get past BIOS Splash Screen, boots POSTS doesnt initial drives but RAM and CPU does. When i try to enter the BIOS or EZ-Flash Keystrokes are registered but doesnt get me to any of them. I tryed to reseat the CPU, CMOS reset and so on, nothing does really change anything. Could it be a bad BIOS chip? Cheers

Not much of a bump from a 290

Ehh, What forum is this?? Totally lost!

What are some good sources for socket replacement on motherboards inside the US? I've got a z97 ocf and a m7i with sockets that are missing pins and won't post. Or would I be better off to just go through Asus and Asrock for the replacement? Would it generally matter that the m7i is plastidipped?

WHAT A BEAST ;-->

Why is this coming across as an i7 when it's an i9?

More and more mobile devices become narrow bezel or frameless design to get higher competitive capability. As the Ultrabook or mobile phone in recent years, becomes slimmer and lighter is the most important trend. Thought about the design on Gaming Notebooks, since the design needs more high performance hardware and cooling solution, if the technology, ID and material is keep improving, maybe the frame and size could become thinner and lighter year by year. Evantually there are 3 of 15.6” thin bezel and ultra slim gaming notebooks came out in the market, this time it’s MSI GS65, the company did work hard on the gaming market. The full name is GS65 Stealth T…
