8400gs! i see them at frys all the time for less than $20

round 2... twist?!?! ME WANTS NOW OR ME SMASH!

on UD5 + Flares I would start at 102bclk and walk it up .5 bclk at a time to avoid the hard shutoff with the 2400 multiplier + high bclk. for 2600 multi, I would have to start flares at 1.72 volts, let it post, re-enter bios then up voltage to 1.82v again in bios save and exit for 2600 32m stability. Dino is right about my bbse ram kit though. UD5 = 1.885v UP5 = 1.875v to tame the sticks. if f6 bios performs (is stable to pass 32m predictably and consistantly) and keeps booting like it does now.... man that would be sooooo killer.

massman, try same settings but pull trfc to 95 or below. I dont think i have EVER ran my bbse that loose, but on UD5, trfc above 95 gave me headaches. during giga 4.5 32m comp, i used trfc 70. also, are you sure you arent "overvolting" your bbse? my kit is very particular about voltage. 1.875 it will pass 1.880 fail on up5. 2nd i found more 32m stability with bbse when i left imc voltage setting @ auto. i use vtt 1.2. I would use 1.15 imc thinking the .05 rule still applied and the voltages were tied, but when left at auto it actually worked better. im not doubting your testing ability, im just relaying what i experienced in hopes it finds you a solution. F6X was better for booting PSC. once i found i couldnt 32m the way F5B would (or at all), i flashed back. settings i can boot easily with on all air: 1.2v VTT auto IMC 1.875 vDIMM 2400 memory multiplier 107.15 bclk memory timings top to bottom 8-11-7-21-33-4-4-16-19-7-75-4-16-1-2-2-A-A-1-1-1-1-4-1-4-4-4 these would be my sort of tight air baseline.

Great competition. Thanks HWBot and Gigabyte!

untouchable!

just FYI XS had known and had tried to deal with this issue before he got banned. Good job on you guys for doing so, the last thing anybody wants is another cheater or thief.

nice run! psc?

easy... just look up any submission from solid snake.

well... here is the SPD of one of the blue ripjaws I have that give me no headache at all. hope it helps, I will keep my fingers crossed.

looks good. I cant tell which pins were bent.

Green PCB > Black PCB (in most cases) I will upload the SPD tonight.

I have a probe and meter... just no memory pot. running c7 is alot harder to do with no real "materials" to do it with

forgot to say... ghetto DICE on RAM. no pot, no tinfoil... brick on top of memory no probe attached so unknown temps. air on CPU (wonder if getting it cold will get me c7)

F6X is definately more consistant, but I cant get 32m to pass like I can on F5X and F5B. I cant even get to loop 2 with PSC.

great efficency!

I'd have to agree with this statement. It is not consistent, though when I actually WANT to get it to run at desired speed, I can... it just takes a while and more effort than it should. as far as "missing" something? yes you are... good bbse. The blue ripjaws (both kits) work without issue 100% of the time. Do you think that when one kit works 100% and another kit doesnt, but sometimes does that there a variance in the spd? im willing to put up a thaiphoon burner dump of the blue ripjaws that i have if you want to experiment?

as far as PSC is concerned, Ive gotten all my PSC kits to work at 2600 with the right amount of "effort" granted, its not as easy as it should be, but it is doable. The statement that some kits "simply do not work" does not reflect the behavior that I'm seeing. some kits are a royal pain in the ass but they do work. All timings are put in manually btw, I dont know if this is a key difference between your end user experience and mine in this matter.

bored bored bored bored....

I went back to F5B for UP5. For UD5 I use F5 bios. its been the best bios for me so far, but some people dont like it. I dont know why, it seems the most "workable" to me.

George, I did an incredible job cleaning off the Vaseline. The profiles will get corrupted (I think on UD3 profiles 1 and 2 are corrupted. The last one is ok iirc) when you fail the OC then spam clear cmos trying to recover. @dino James isnt the only one with bread crumbs. Sandwiches are popular world wide. Im guilty of using my motherboard as a plate sometimes. food > benching > sleep. UD3 can be a PITA with PSC memory with a weak IMC. I had profiles saved on there for 2600 boots every time but they may have gotten corrupted (1.97v is crazy. I have no idea where that came from) When I dont have problems... it means everybody else does. When everybody else has no problems, that means that only I have issues... story of my life. Just be patient George, I'm fairly confident that the sammy fix bios will make things work well for you. If you want to, we can trade out that UD3 for a UD5. I can pre-test the bios for you as I still have alot of different PSC left over here. *edit* 2666 is unstable with 32m F6X UP5 2600 is unstable with 32m F6X UP5 both tested on flares. Ive gotten 2600 stable with F5b and F5x. It I can boot higher now and alot easier, I lost some stability. checking gtl, mem tweakit, and cpu-tweaker, the settings look the same. Hopefully next bios revision will correct this

killer! damn dino you set the bar high.

Thanks guys. I updated the score with a bit faster time. Same exact settings but reloaded the OS as it was a little dirty from swapping between UD5 and UP5

Thanks Vivi, yours is too hard to catch with how im running right now. yes all air everything. Im glad to get them back :-)
