ive told ya ... more details of my Xeon setup soon ... awaiting permission from intel for little preview

of course, but why i need 1.45V for 4.8 on Asus board ... and on UD7 1.7V?

last F8b bios is the best, great ocing, stability ... but max voltage is 1.7V (because mosfets) and there is still air clock wall 4.8 GHz ...

i think shambo will give us that bios after 01/09 ...

you need shambos bios ... power tune is shit, you have to turn it off

8.921.2 are better for 3D11 then 8.94 i think ... Big problem is Power-Tune ... with maxed voltages i am out of P-T limit and card is not scaling with frequency ... without voltage tweak, 30% higher clocks = 30% higher score ... but with maxed voltages 40% higher clocks, only 31% higher score ...

ive promissed, no any valid leak before 01/09 ... sreens shows important thing - 1300/7900 MHz 3D11 Performance stable ... but it is suicide run. But on 1280/7800 i can bench maxed Crysis ... on air

Yes on air, but with opened windows on it (5C here) new driver ... http://www.filesonic.cz/file/bom3WFi/8.94-111222a.7z

great card, ES GPU or Retail? my stuff little bit better

Only ES i have ... finally had some time to bench, it seems good ... Rampage IV Extreme, -15C Max mems - 2450 MHz (old 2333 Kingstons) at 1.67V on air

thanks, will try it on Giga ... but i always disable PLL override in bios automatically, will see ...

subzero results are not argument in common review for home users with air/water setup. We need here same results on all boards, this time is MSI with early BIOS at Ocing better the UD5/UD7 and its a big thing. Ive tested: Asus Deluxe - 4,8 GHz at 1.44V, 5 GHz 1.5V MSI GD65 8D - 4,8 GHz at 1.44V, 5 GHz 1.5V Intel 79SI - 4,8 GHz at 1.44V Asus RIVE - 4,8 GHz at 1.44V, 5 GHz 1.5V Giga UD5/7 - 4,7 GHz at 1.47V, 5 GHz no way ... here is problem, awaiting new BIOS with corrections I suppose, there is problem with some OCP/OVP/Temp protection ... or badly tweaked new VRM

sin - yes i know, 0 is max LLC The same chip + Noctua air cooler, 3930K on RIVE (0901) cinebench R11 rock stable 5 GHz, MEM 2200 MHz CL9 on 1.5V. All options on Auto, only LLC High + manual CPU/MEM voltage settings. On Giga UD7 - max 4,7 GHz with +/- 1.5V. Nothing higher at any normal settings, various voltages/3D Power combinations, nothing helps me. PS. On Asus drops multiplier in load to default too, but on 1.65V and air cooler. Thats normal CPU protection, but on Giga i have it on 4,7 GHz and 1.5V ...

will send issues to tchaiwan for resolution, whats your problems? my issues: BIOS F3 and higher - Auto OC button not working EasyTune + Enable change multi in windows - problem with multi Oced CPU above 4.5 Ghz undeclocked to default under load ...

This board is strange. I am working on review now, maybe i am stupid or doing something wrong, but i dont know what. I have Ci7-3930K stepping 5, C0. On Asus Dlx/RIVE + MSI GD65 8D + Intel X79SI i can OC this chip with 1.45V easily to 4.8 GHz rock stable. But on UD5/UD7 only 4.7 GHz. For 4.8 GHz i need here 1.65V !!!!!! On other board i can OC it for 5 GHz in few seconds, on UD5/UD7 is 5 GHz on air impossible at any settings. Ive tryed everything, all options in 3D power, all voltages, but still this crappy results there ... help

look at massmans post above ...

voices from dark corners of chinese mainland told me, there is no cold bug anymore ... but who knows now christian thanks for Roadmap, but i think is little bit old and inacurrate

solved, ive measured it by multimeter and its ok, but in bios and cpuz is voltage wrong ...

who cares now, two months before launch with immatures BIOSes, and early stepping? Will see after launch, but remember what i am saying now Maybe Asus BIOS cant do it, but we have another options

BIOS F4 22/11/2011, yes i tryed it like in video - Everything Disable except Turbo, C1E Enable, EIST enable ... i can OC CPU normaly, but voltage is still at AUTO

maybe is it your from 97 percents which cant do it

price correction 1888 USD! : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20E5-2687W.html :( :cry: Sam - yes i think

yes, its working on X79 board ... but not on all of them, will ask manufacturers for bios ... launch is Q1/12 + price +/- 1300-1500 USD

check Physics score at default! Wow! Monster at default ... Locked multi, but 4,8 GHz on AIR possible 1,25 CPU Strap + highest multi + BCLK margin ...

still have problem with UD5 and voltage, in windows is in all applications 1.07V but real voltage is 1,28V ... but i cant raise it manually ... ive tryed everything combinations Enabled/Disabled but voltage i still 1,28V ... damn i am stupid ...
