Beaux Loy Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks Major I was actually planning on switching to xp today.. I'll give it a go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Ok, So I tried the same thing on the xpower as well.. it clocks high for sure and is really stable.. Once again, the memory wont overclock though.. This time it's the gtx2 I wonder if I need to pump more voltage into it.. I'm at 1.80v - 1.90v on the mem. Maybe I should try 2.0v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Vdimm is not the problem. I was running 1.7V all the time. Â A few days ago I got the 980X back. I'll see if I can set something up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEVILEK Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Mass tell me, what is Your vote for benching ; UD9 or Big Bang ? At this time I testing the first one, but You are test so mouch MSI, and You post some scores with GB, well ? What product is better ? Ofc We are don't look at price at this time I have good experience with MSI at air, but not good like burned cpu power section on sub zero. About GB what I can say; last product, like UD7 is almost indestructible imho. Â I hope You can say smth to me about my question.

Massman Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 It's a good question. Â I had the UD9 for about a week on the desk here when I realized it was the rev0.2 PCB, not the rev1.0. Therefore, I decided not to push the board to the limit, because any of my findings could be swept from the table pointing to the rev0.2 ... even if the findings are correct. I heard a rev1.0 arrived at Leeghoofd's place, so I might be doing a re-test in the next couple of weeks. Â What I've experienced with the XPower is that there might be some issues after a couple of intensive benching. I can't pin-point the exact problem, it's as if the components get tired and want a rest. On MOA EU, for instance, we had to re-do the insulation maybe seven times spread over the two days, which is quite a lot. At home, I had a similar issue after around 4-5h benching. Â The UD7 was most certainly a decent board. The first revision of the UD7 board was a very good Bloomfield board (imho), but I'm afraid it's not really ready for the Gulftown (had some issues when I tested it months ago). The 2nd revision is build like the UD9 and Hicookie's already proved it's working very well with Gulftown. Â One thing you have to note though: for 3D, the UD9 might be a tad slower because of the NF200 latency. For 2D benching, the Xpower is certainly capable of matching the UD9 and UD7. For 3D Vantage (high load, multithreaded), the UD9 will probably yield an extra few MHz due to PWM design. As far as I know, that's only around 6.2GHz and only for Vantage ... 3DMark06 CPU test was the same here. Â If you don't have to pay for the boards, you might as well give both a try, though. In the end, it's mostly about personal preference. Some like GBT, some like Asus, some like ... a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondacity Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 agree with the ff 1. xpower gets weird after cold for too long... 2. xpower is strong with vantage cpu test 3. xpower is 2d very very good...  massman  hicookie used ud7 ver 2? i haven't seen them. got links?

Beaux Loy Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 The ud9 is definitely cool! It's alot of fun to work with as well. I still like the x-power better.. Sometimes at -185c the ud9 decides it does'nt like that and wants to shut down.. Not cb.. It just decides to.. I dont know what the deal is but it's not my favorite. The rampage lll and the x-power are really great besides my memory issue. I'm thinking it may just be my mobo. I hope not.. Although the Sr-2 with 2 x5680's is really great though.

steponz Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I just picked up another xpower and lots of my memory issues are gone... so I think its just a matter of the board you get.. I can tell you I had lots of issues with the other at default clocks.. thought it was my memory... but nope.. definitely the board... End of the month I should have my 2nd Sr2.. So I will be doing some ln2 action with that baby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I guess I'll grab another big bang xpower and check it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaux Loy Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Good news.. I can pretty much run every benchmark on the xpower now.. Even 3dmark 06 I just tested at 6170 mhz with ht on.. xp gives a crazy score of about 14500.. Also, sometimes the temperatures jump around and I cant seem to get anything to work under LN2.. But then when I re apply thermal grease and start over, the temperature stays pretty consistent.. Maybe the cpu is'nt seated right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steponz Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 So now I get this new xpower board.. and its just terrible.. great at stock clocks.. but now anything above 5.4ghz... memory issues... gtx2, corsair 2000 cl8, nothing fixes it... chip is good... multiple bios's, and still can't get over this hump... The same chip did 5.8 vantage with no cb... I can boot into 6ghz.. just can't do anything else ... Pretty much stumped... looks like a bad board... waste of my time...

Beaux Loy Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sorry to hear that brotha.. Mine is acting normal now.. Really weird stuff going on.. It just wont run super pi 32m. That's about the only benchmark my xpower wont run.. Well, at least every xpower board is special or different in their own way.. Cherry pick the xpower boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steponz Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think the max I did was 1.89... Ill try 2.. Thanks for the tip Matose.. Ran that high on my Classy...

Beaux Loy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 lol!!! Finally my xpower blew up.. Did'nt even do anything to it.. This was non LN2.. It started making a weird noise then it killed one of my awesome cpu's.. I love xpower!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 cant get mem stable over 1750 cas 7 3500mhz no matter the vtt and vdim I throw at it. Going to try 1.4beta6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splave Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 oh very cool man that sounds good    1800 required sub timings all to be set to max values but it passed, 1.375vcore 1.35vtt 1.74vdimm and 2:10 x20 (5/10)  here are current settings that fail 32m at 7th line every time   Tryed hammering volts to it 1.4vcore 1.4vtt 1.775vdimm and it causes crash at 2nd line which is worse than before.  Anything stand out? I know the ram can do it, does 1033 7-7-6-19 no problem on r3e.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Those are Elpide hyper, right? Â Booting up now ... bios isn't saving anything at the moment. Maybe it's not a good idea to use MOA comp boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Got it working alright now. Â Running 195x19 2:10 CL7-7-7-21 with x20 UNC as we speak. I'll flash to that 1.4B6 bios in a few minutes ... I'm using the 1.0B31 btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
