Noone knows for sure which type of Hyper the GTX2 are (Corsair HS are very difficult to remove + GTX2 are very expensive and rare). Hyper compatibility sucks with Ivy, even if you have GTX2 (hence you see people selling them a lot). BTW, I think that other memory is used (most likely PSC), 7-10-7 is not the sort of Hyper timings

nice rams ... being misused

is there any reason to having two POST coders on the board other than "having more than ASUS" ?

how much did you downclock for CPU test?

I see word "retail" in bold as part of individual stage limitations

oh goodie, time to make some more team changes while you're both away

there's enough info RipjawsX + stock cooling + 1200 trcd 10 => BBSE => 2133 8-9-8 as the only RipjawsX with BBSE (there was 2200 9-9-9 but it's too rare and effectively the same)

another problem, there's an error in PiFast computation so this score is invalid

No worries, you can hand this job over to me

I never thought BBSE could achieve such clocks ... or is it the C5F "phenomena" again?

I bought 0 and mine does more

if MSI are so afraid of RMAs, why don't they limit their motherboards to, say, 1.5V on Vcore and then make users bend over for the "special" BIOS?

If anything, I actually agree with Dino - an attempt on another motherboard shall be made. This is not the first case when I see Crosshair V Formula boards produce results that are not in line with reality (reality = results done on other boards). As some people probably know, me and websmile (a guy from Germany) are between the most active DDR3 binners in Europe. We have a very clear idea where the tRCD walls and MHz/volt scaling limits are for most ICs. None of us has a C5F, but the C5F results we see from fellow binners (sometimes with our ex-kits) usually greatly exceed what we thought was the max of specific kit or IC. So, for this matter, I, personally, would not recommend relying on memory overclock results made on C5F when looking for pre-binned memory (unless you're going to run a C5F as well). I could be wrong and the board is an engineering masterpiece so, don't take me 100% seriously.

don't tell me you're going to put HS from DDR3-2400 rated kits on them and send to RMA ?

let's see if Andre has a backup

why is second card sitting slightly sideways? .. I thought slots are parrallel

nice dead money!

I know multiple people who got PSC and BBSE stable up to 1330MHz with 2400 and 2600 dividers, but 1333MHz or 2666 divider just does not happen.

1core also makes things slower, at least on 5G I lose around 0.9s compared to two cores

platform can do at least 4s better at same clocks btw, S3 BIOS any better?

websmile, Freakezoit, Matti OC ... all these fit first two criteria

absolutely pointless button then

that's the spirit ... I got 8.3 from a 5 quid ebay chip Kenny bought by accident

will the TPP still count for the team?

is this the 5625B516 I sold you?
