Hey had to chance to get some X58 gear,was bit before my time in benching even tho I had this platform before I never knew much about OC.So I had it for very short time and done some lite test on air,will continue to post some air result then move onto cold cpu and cold PSC.....My goal as I don't own hypers and like freezing PSC is to see how good I can get PSC going on this platform under LN2....

 

 

Couple quick test all air PSC 1.65v,thinking when I try ln2 all should see nice boost on uncore as it seems to love uncore,also hoping PSC run 2400Mhz+ 6-8-6 with tighter subs,will post results as I do them.Is a really nice platform and im really liking this board,need to test some other bios as the first one I tried 0003 was having a few probem, tho this one im using is better

 

 

 

 

Water air...1.71v

Like where this is going

I'll probably join you on this but with the i7 920, just to give a different perspective on what you can achieve with the different IMCs

Now this sounds like fun!

 

Time to dust off the X58 gear and join you in this Bully

 

I think I have a few 920's, 980X, and Xeon X5680's to test.

Couple more update and improvements,same again water air 1.68v

 

 

 

Had play today with cpu water and memory on SS -30,had few problems with channel dropping out,will test more when I have ln2.The PSC on LN2 should scale quite well

 

PSC -30 1.76v 2524MHz 6-10-6-28

 

 

 

Nice clocks any luck with stability?

Nice clocks any luck with stability?

 

Colder mems it should be 32m stable along with tighter timings ,just the dropping channel will be the problem

Just getting started on a bit of PSC fun on Bloomfield - not sure if the IMC is different compared to Gulftown? Threw in a random kit, I might have to switch to my best one as I was getting NOT EXACT@ 6-11-6 over about 1050 or with 6-10-6 above 1,000:

Any minor voltages that could help? I couldn't find DDR termination for example.

Is that my random kit?

I’m slightly older and wiser and have grabbed a RIIIE again to play with. I have looked in the hypers thread (I received back the same memory I sold 5 yrs ago) but also have 2 sets of PSC. The 1st is 6 sticks of Corsair (blue top triple channel 6gb) Dom 1600__8-8-8-24 v7.1 and Corsair Dom GT 2133__9-10-9-24 v7.1 ?

From the hypers thread, that is THE memory to use on the x58 boards. IIRC those top out at 1000 but the PSC’s will do 1200+. This will allow higher FSB 220+ for benching??
