Yah its special, Special ED that is. Run away as fast as you can from L041B706 and whatever it is this ES batch is.

sam is that post bios or boot windows?

Good luck, finding a 7 gig chip shouldn't be to hard now, find a usefull one will require some heavy binning though

No, 3 letter chips i tested had no voltage tolerance.......

heh, the rosewill is being used for air stuff

probably not the place to discuss it but although the 2500K is not fairing so well OC wise I find it to be more bang for buck than 2600K. I'm not all to impressed with intels HT on performance with sandy. Seems like core IPC went up but HT performance took a hit. For gaming as much as I love amd I don't need more than 4 cores and a 2500K may make it into my next build.

I agree it sucks but you always have sandybridge competitions to look forward to where ln2 users won't really have any edge Of course quality of chip will still play a role. If you want to get that chip a tad faster focus less on volts and see if you can bring temps down more, open a window and use some winter air if available

I think the question all of us need to ask is IF you had ln2 do you think that your chip would be doing 7 gig. The answer is if your not validating 5 gig on normal ambient temps most likely not Just a little humbling perpective. From my data and what I know I see a few 6.6 and 6.7 gig chips if users had ln2 that are only competing on air.

I made a new valid just in case people complained.......seeing how I submitted it day 1 early and was benching like a few hours before contest opened..... GL and have fun.

Think pros referring to the floating bclk ASUS has which is why I supplied other forms of measuring speed with my submission That or that it doesn't take mush effort to hit the speeds on AMD. Comp for AMD I think would have been far more interesting with locked multi chips or a fixed multi that you set in the limitations.

actually like one notch up from default. For phenom II and ddr II boards it's more ram/cpu related than NB.

looks like lucid is one step ahead of nvidia.

thanks, working with crippled hardware atm......I had the same setup doing 445 before so I know this ram has seen better days

Nor the only one with no rythm or smooth moves.......

ahhh but the white dude is such a cornball in that video, he doesn't realize that yellow is street slang for gold.......so he actually says gold.

Everything I do I do it big.

oh yah and the UD7 video is coming soon............ :yepp: you know what it is.

Nah, If anything crosshair will valid higher. Sent yah a PM on XS.

Nice work Oldtimer, Maybe i can help you along with 7 gig

whats diff a multiplier missing? the reason people are bitching is becasue of the stepping difference and nothing else....... No one is saying OMFG 550 has no multiplier adjustment its not fair to us..........

just out of curiosity........ c3 is locked. c2 isn't. c3 is handicapped then imho........since it requires a little more work to get a score then just upping a multi................... Also 955 class is not seperated by c2 and c3 and c3 obviously spanks my c2 results even though mine were some of the best c2 955 scores........ I'm not crying over it, instead i just got a C3......... Oh an btw the box part # is diff on 955 c2 versus c3.

Pro man the card is modded, needed it for faster 2d performance tweak.

Pro tip. Bloomfield will do 2400 ram easier.

Heh not sure about multiple 580's but I ran 2 480's and that was also comeptitive.
