Hazzan Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Testing : Core i7 3770K Patriot Sector 5 19200C9 ADATA SSD ANTEC PSU ASUS GTX 580 Matrix Quote
M.Beier Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Looks good Hazzan! Must admit that I've spotted one thing I dislike in ASRock' design, the barbs for the watercooling isnt changable by the looks, if I could change it to push-on, I sure would use the feature. Hope this might be fixed in a later revision Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) So this is an excellent memory clocking board PSC (4X2GB) and here is a 4Ghz run with PSC the 2X4GB run was under cold on the memory with no insulation, just a quickie at 1.85v:eek: Edited September 8, 2012 by l0ud_sil3nc3 Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 lol, if you have the 2400C8 version of RipjawsZ every board will give you an excellent result Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 lol, if you have the 2400C8 version of RipjawsZ every board will give you an excellent result You would think that Sam, however the above clocks were not possible on my MVE, (though I am pretty sure it is my board) and I honestly think the c7 Flares actually clock better than this kit on Z77.

Stelaras Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I can't run spi32m with 4x2gb PSC on any of my Asus ROG Z77 boards Asrock Formula & Gigabyte UD5/UP5 can do it . Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I can't run spi32m with 4x2gb PSC on any of my Asus ROG Z77 boards Asrock Formula & Gigabyte UD5/UP5 can do it . Well that makes me feel a bit better, however I can't run PSC at those clocks/timings even with 2X2GB, always not exact in round or not convergent in square. Also this chip I used for the above sub, would cb at -140c on the MVE, (55>00>55) until it is warmed up sub -140c, while on the Z77 OC Formula it is cb free and I can run full pot on it. Like I was saying I am pretty sure it is my board:) Quote
Massman Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Looking good! Nice to see a third big player in this OC game. Anyone tested a retail (bought) board already? Quote
K404 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Non of the reputable UK shops have them yet. The dodgy-looking ones are listing it at the same price as the Asus Formula. It's nice to have a choice Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Looking good! Nice to see a third big player in this OC game. Anyone tested a retail (bought) board already? My results are on a retail board purchased from Newegg, they even threw in a free 60GB OCZ ssd, and it does indeed come with Gelid GC Extreme. Quote
Massman Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Awesome, thanks for the heads up Loud! How's the BIOS feeling compared to other vendors? Smooth? Easy to work with? Quote
Splave Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 If you load nickshih profile chip is automatically unlocked to 7.1 ghz Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Awesome, thanks for the heads up Loud! How's the BIOS feeling compared to other vendors? Smooth? Easy to work with? No problem, I have only tested it once with the bios Nick uploaded and everything is pretty smooth so far, no gripes on this end PJ:) I bet you can run 2600 c8 on this board with much lower volts, than Giga or Asus. If you load nickshih profile chip is automatically unlocked to 7.1 ghz Dude, why didn't you tell me I was wondering why all my shi(f)tty chips don't do 7.1:D In all honesty though I did test manually setting and Nick's profile and both worked, so that is a good sign. BBSE did not clock as well but there is a new bios I will try tonight Nick posted in the thread at XS this morning. Quote
Massman Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah, saw Splave posting at XS as well. Seems like I'll have to pay a visit to some other office to play with gear Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 wtf? CL4 2466 coming ! Psc doesnt scale from lower than Cas8 . i think need to put memory under cold. are we clocking DDR2? Quote
TaPaKaH Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 isn't everything below CL6 pure BS on Ivy? Quote
Splave Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Yep, its actually CL7 but still looks cool lol Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 01 is looking pretty good. . . Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) new bios working well:) Edited September 20, 2012 by l0ud_sil3nc3 Quote
l0ud_sil3nc3 Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 some more results from testing 3226B988 Was testing a new chip tonight and did some 5Ghz runs with vdimm @ 1.8v First up is all auto on secondary and tertiary timings, all I did was set 8-12-8-28-1T and the rest is magic . . . then I tested 1276 8-11-7-27 and surprisingly it was about the same as 2600 8-12-8 and then a decent 2600 run also was able to get an 06 run in this board is awesome, I just need a good chip which seems like it is never going to happen:rofl: Quote
