tiborrr Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yeah, F6a shows improvement over F4. Before it refused to post or work above 4.8GHz, no matter the multiplier, BCLK or core count. Now the chip does 5243MHz benchable with 1.435Vcore on ambiental water cooling! That's with two cores enabled though. I'm gonna push some cold this weekend with my D.I.Y. cascade, add some volts and see where it gets me. If it's gonna be too cold for the IMC, I'm gonna try single stage unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I figure lga2011 will scale under cold, allow bclk OCing, and cost $2k for the top chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I figure lga2011 will scale under cold, allow bclk OCing, and cost $2k for the top chip. If the community asks for it, I'm more than ready to limit the 'normal overclocker' rankings to reasonably prices hardware and leave the pro rankings for all the expensive hardware.

jmke Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Show be read as: Now Intel has perfect control over FSB, Multiplier and no motherboard can overcome the limitations yet. since the limitations are inside the CPU and no longer controlled by L1 bridges, chipsets or clock generators; I'd say we're screwed getting "more value for money" as an "overclocking" incentive further proof: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oanvoanc Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 as tiborr stated already, there are new biosses out since 11.1.2011 for gigabyte ud4 / ud5 / ud7. will try the f7b and report back, if there is any improvement in terms of overclocking past multi 52 (for my chip) compared to the f6x released a few days ago.

Crew Antinomy Posted January 12, 2011 Crew Share Posted January 12, 2011 Massman, nice idea. Because 1.1K is very high but 2k is kinda insane. jmke, I'll check, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobnova Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have to say that if I'm right I'm going to be very annoyed with Intel. Figuring out where to draw the line on "reasonably priced" would be quite the trick. I'd leave it how it is, personally. (unless Intel's 12 core chip hits 2ghz more then all others but costs $15k, that's an easy line ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalan Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 anyone here experiencing the boot loops w/ the asus p8p67 pro? shows up that the marvell sata controller doesnt detect a hd then reboots again before it goes into windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 all P67 gigabyte boards have the PLL override bios on the website now if anyone cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giloman Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Started overclocking my new 2500k + P67A-UD3 and i got an issue It doesnt matter which bios i use (the new F6A or the non-beta F5) after a few reboots my mobo is reflashing itself using the backup bios chip into the F2 version. Im using the new @bios that was posted here. Help plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 the dual bios feature is a little sensitive right now and it trips a bit sooner than it should, ive been told bios guys will relax it a bit so it doesnt flick to backup mode so easy if you see it happen just flick the switch off the PSU and clear cmos and start clocking again.

stasio Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Maybe this: GA-P67A-UD7 - F7b GA-P67A-UD5 - F6b GA-P67A-UD4 - F7d GA-P67A-UD3 - F6b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterchief79 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 What actually does the PLL fix BIOS do? I got to stable 4.7GHz with my 2600K@1.32V but not 1MHz higher. No chance with 4.74 and even 1.5V. I increased PLL from 1.8V to 2.1V, with no success. Could the new Beta BIOS fix that? My MB is a P8P67 Deluxe.

Aristidis Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 First tests with GIGABYTE P67A-UD7. Not bad with 1.47 vcore L042B078 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linuxfan Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Maybe this: GA-P67A-UD7 - F7b GA-P67A-UD5 - F6b GA-P67A-UD4 - F7d GA-P67A-UD3 - F6b Tried F6a on the P67A-UD3P but I can't boot past 45x multi or 101bclk even at 1.5v CPU on air with a D2 2600K. Tried enabling and disabling PLL overrider. Disabled C1E, Turbo boost, C3/C6, and EIST. Also disabled Isochronous Support and Virtualization Tech. :shrug: Edited January 15, 2011 by Linuxfan2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linuxfan Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) Got it with all settings either on auto or normal to do pifast/1M Spi/32M WPrime at 5ghz 1.5v on air still 32oC idle, but when I got to 5.1 it was unstable for Wprime and blue screened on me. Had a hard time getting it back on after a bunch of resets I was able to avoid the backup F2 BIOS which is not good for overclocking... Is there a way to disable the annoying backup BIOS? It resets to it all the time... Here's what its doing. I get into BIOS and its running the 1st updated one like its supposed to. I get my 4.9ghz safe setting and hit F10 and save it. It hangs black screen for a while but doesn't beep and turn on at 4.9 like its supposed to, it crashes, then reboots. Don't know if it reboots into the F2 bios or not but after it reboots it hangs on the pretty Gig post screen, crashes from there, then hangs there again. So now I have to reset and get it back to the new BIOS. So need help to find how I can get my saved setting working again! Thanks Edit: Now when just restarting from the hang bios screen with the reset pins I get after the BIOS screen a black screen that says something like overclocking failed in a popup window and it shows its running F2... then it goes to a recovery page that says BIOS crash getting back data or something... it goes to a few k of the retrieving then crashes. It rebooted twice and now its in Windows at stock speed and checking with CPU-Z its on F2 bios.

kurayami Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 GA-P67A-UD3P mobo can't overclock? or it's just problem of bios. I'm planning to buy one too. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linuxfan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 GA-P67A-UD3P mobo can't overclock? or it's just problem of bios.I'm planning to buy one too. =/ I got it up to 5.1ghz now so I guess the board is ok but my chip stinks. Still having issues with the dual BIOS I wish I could disable it. Its a very nice looking motherboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 all you have to do on first lockup is flick off PSU and clear cmos and load your profile again and try UD3 should not have any problems running 7ghz SB if anyone could figure out how to get to 7ghz hehe, the pwm can handle it no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linuxfan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 warning: main bios checksum error retrieving recovery source from HPA... HPA bios not available... I get that screen after it reverts to the F2 bios and apparently it copies the backup F2 bios to the 1st once and erases my F6a and profiles. Thanks Dinos, I'm sure its my chip limiting me...

dinos22 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 what im saying is as soon as you crash or lockup flick the PSU off and clear cmos it wont do it yeah retail bios chips will range between 4.9 to whatever the max is, seen a few guys stuck at 5Ghz, for normal machines amazing but not great if you want to bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinos22 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) ALT+F12 during bootup, make sure you load default settings in main bios first i have a PS2 adapter on my USB keyboard, if USB doesnt work use the adapter Edited January 16, 2011 by dinos22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linuxfan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks man will try! I have a PS2 keyboard if needed... I think it works.... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
