Its only for teamcup scores. In the rules for teamcup it says to have a sensors tab and normal gpu-z tab.  Most of this hardware and background is for teamcup.  But this stage is supposed to be ddr2.

Elite vs extreme doesn't matter to me. I'm not sponsored and don't get free hardware. When I look at leaderboards, I look at overall.  I look at where I fall among the "elite."  I'm not a fan of separation by cooling.

Yes... You also have to short 2 pins and isolate 2 pins on the underside of the cpu.

you don't have to touch the cpu if you don't want.  There are two mods on that board. With both mods done, you can just flash the bios and it'll work.

Exactly how sure are you that it's the same chip? 

Sarcasm since we're all being accused of using the same chip.  Being that we both subbed a 7740x with nearly identical clocks around the same time.

Thanks @mllrkllr88 I put a good bid of work into that sub. Now it's time for you to unleash your beast of 7740X!

Everyone knows its the same chip, can't expect it to clock much higher

nice score and nice chip......binned 1 from ??

I recently bought two 560s and one 555 for team cup.  The two 560s were pretty bad and the 560 i bought for last years team cup is even worse.  So the 555 was best of 3 recent chips i bought.

Got lucky with random chip from ebay, it's pretty decent.  Expected it to be garbage.

[Mikecdm - 3x Radeon HD 7970 @ 1200/1800MHz - 308877 marks 3DMark03]

Thanks, I had other issues, cpu wouldn't run 7.1 anymore, memory doesn't want to work right. Maybe score wouldn't have gone up at 7.1

Thanks, too bad the blocks are junk. The standard mounting system doesn't work and couldn't get good mounts. I had to buy screws and put them in through the back.

Did anyone of you noticed if the board degrades over time ? (Same settings not working with same hardware) ?

Mine degraded

Using apex X now with same chip thats missing pad.  Runs full pot with way lower dmi and pll.

thanks,  i tried slightly higher clocks but -01 randomly closed and i didn't care anymore.  Getting this to boot into windows is also a pain.

[Mikecdm - 2x Radeon HD 4890 @ 1200/1200MHz - 50399 marks 3DMark06]

Pad come off cpu, stuck to pin and missing a pin. Was still running when i turned it off.

[Best mobo Z390 for OC - Apex XI or Evga Dark?]

1 hour ago, Alex@ro said:

You can buy a Apex XI and a second hand Apex X for the price of dark, you have two boards, windows XP, etc. I am not saying that Dark is a bad board however the price is little bit too much for this platform. 

This makes good sense, sadly you can't buy a second hand apex anything for under $100 which is more than the price difference between dark and apex xi. 

51 minutes ago, Slovak_Killer said:

Dark for sure, had the chance to try apex xi and nothing new rly from my apex X, maybe faster booting with tight rams. both boards have overkilled VRMs. If u want best scores go for Dark as it supports legacy, so 32M on XP is possible. Biggest downside for me is shitty evga eleet app, asus have much better turboV for OS OCing.

EDIT: i didnt rly considered price, well yeah Dark is expensive, depends if u want spi etc on legacy.

So you're saying that the Apex boots faster and has software that works.  Only thing not to like is that it doesn't support XP.  In that case, what new does the dark offer?  Slow boot,  software that doesn't work, xp support which was available on prior apex models.   To me it looks like it's all about trade-offs and what one is willing to give up.

I think the rookie makes a  valid point. Perhaps turning off balanced mode would allow you to make a proper submission and prevent this in the future.
