    Gigabyte OC GRILL

    in Extreme overclocking

    Posted · Edited by Xtreme Addict

    Gigabyte Poland in cooperation with PCLab.pl organized awesome grill party, we had everything, cold beer, barbecue and of course some LN2 with Z87 OC boards :up: There were two configurations, one prepared for G.Foyle and second for me.

     

    The whole event was organized to promote new Z87 platforms. The most valuable polish users from PCLab.pl were invited by Gigabyte Poland to see GB OC Board live in action!

     

    My setup:

     

    i7 4770K retail

    GB Z87X OC Board

    2x2 GB G.skill PI 2200CL7

    AMD HD7990

    PSU Highpower 1600W

    EK-SF3D Inflection Point EVO & EK-SF3D Triple Point EVO

    GB OC board worked very well and it was fun to use it. All OC buttons work, and are very useful. Board itself is a tough one, cause in the end I let inexperienced users to play with it and it was still alive :up:

     

    Soon I will push it with some good retail Haswell :D

     

    And movie from the event!

    Enjoy :)

    I like the pots overall too,

    the only "complaint" i would have is the mounting system is too complicated for quick installation, like at a live competition swapping out CPU's might take a bit long, i would prefer a traditional mounting system too just for the quick experienced bencher! The pot handles my cpu great on cinebench so the functionality of the pot is perfect

     

    It's very fast, but you need to have screwdriver (not this small allen key which is in accessories, it's not handy for very "fast" remounting) or replace screws for bigger like I did (cause I have fat fingers and small screws, especially from dram pot is very hard for me to "aim" into holes, and I personally don't like allen key type screws ;) )

    CPU is not bad for a retail Hasfail :D and so far it works and didn't degrade!

     

    BTW

     

    During SF3D Gathering, we used EK-SF3D Inflection Point EVO with LGA 2011 setup.

    You can imagine how hot this beast is when you have 1.7v + -35*C bench temperature ;)

    I finally benched seriously Hasfail platform, this time using EK-SF3D Inflection Point EVO & EK-SF3D Triple Point EVO

     

    1. Mounting system works great, it's easy and fast (but you need to get used to it after using old brackets).

    2. CPU and MEM pots don't freeze motherboard as much as much bigger pots, but still handle 4770K Hasfail very well in 2D benchmarks.

    3. During OC I was using HEAT system, not sure if it helped, but I could bench my Hasfail longer with full MHz (6.5+ SPI32M) before it gets "tired" and loses stability at full MHz, normally it happens after 30-40 minutes, and I benched 2+ hours without any stability loss.

    4. Isolation on board for CPU pot is a piece of cake ;)
