The official GIGABYTE H55 miniITX contest thread.

[dinos22]

you are NB limited and your time is fine with those settings

 

make it cold and fight the bclock now

[George_o/c]

1) im seeing george is doing 1880mhz at 6-7-5-18 with gtx2. arent those like 200 bux for single stick?

2) I still havent really taken the time to max them out. I think the highest vdimm ive gone is 1.7v with air. may I ask you guys what your vdimm is at on those gtx2 kits on air?

 

1) Hehe, take a good look at CPU-Tweaker trans am. My RAMs are Corsair Dominator 2000 C8 2x2GB kit. I got them second-handed from a friend of mine, in exchange for 200€ (approximately $260 USD).

 

2) ~950MHz 6-7-5-18 with 56 tRFC and 13 tWTP comes at a price... What price? 1.94V on air. However you gotta cold your IMC before messing with such sky-high voltages

 

The difference between 2000 C8 and GTX2s is pretty obvious. 6-7-5-18 vs 6-6-5-17 I don't have more money though, that was the max I could pay and I'm pretty happy with the result

 

Now I need to work on my efficieny. I do 213k pp on P55, but only 215.8k on H55. Don't know why is that, but I'll try and figure out asap!

George when you say cold imc do you mean you are cooling the cpu with ln2 or do you mean you have the ram cold? Im sorta confused I see guys cooling the ram with fancy pots but the ram is so close to the cpu pot that its already cold to the touch. I just had to break out the hairdryer.

 

fyi I just got my ass kicked by 7 sec by rick tonight. Nicely done buddy

 

I'm messing around with a 540 and the ud2h tonight on ln2. Nothing special yet. just doing wprime 1024 runs and I keep freezing because I keep running to this thread to type while its running and not paying attention to the fluke. lemme concentrate guys. So far im finding this 540 is not liking vcore too much. maybe that a good thing. Im sorry to keep posting in the thread when Im basically out until i get another board but I like to pretend Im still in it in the meantime.

[pro]

george o/c yes i also find h55n slower than p55a-ud7 clock for clock, i can set the same settings and my PP is slightly less

[pro]

has anyone got an idea of vtt ocp?

[Massman]

I fixed all my OCP issues just with the one OCP modification?

[pro]

i did the ocp mod listed but around 1.5~ i still see some type of ocp/ovp on vtt

[ME4ME]

for me QPI/VTT OVP kicks in at 1.63v (tested on LN2)

 

anyway ..2:10 isn't working for me above 950 mem, so there is no need to push the IMC in any way. Personally im thinking of memory ocp, but don't know for sure

[pro]

 

 

some mod, just for fun really haha... i am sure the pwm is a bottleneck and these will help nothing..

[1Day]

Love it Pro - you guys are all nuts.

[dinos22]

hotglue overdose

[dinos22]

closing in on pro and still on air cooling on both CPU and RAM

[trans am]

Dino, Pro...

our favorite uncle is in the contest too and is kicking ass! Tim needs to get in here now. (sorry guys I just love the aussie team. such a rad team and so small but they are rad and nice guys.)

 

Nice work fester! Im totally surprised i thought he was strictly gulftown these days. I'm stoked that he's in here! I ordered another mitx tonight so I'll give it another try.

@ uncle and everyone else with a live account and a cam. hook up your cam next time and lets all bench together this weekend. like friday or sat night?

 

We should all coordinate for a live show this week in some synchronized overclocking..

we all bench together in a crazy frenzy in a mass live event.

 

I think it would be awesome! Ive seen fester live before. Ive never seen dino. I think I saw chew a year ago or so live, never saw massman or anyone else in here. I think it would be cool to see all you guys all in the same event.

 

Think of it as a live overclocking event at a convention center except we dont have to be in the same physical location and there is no money or sponsored crap involved so there is no pressure or expectations that lead to any crap. There is no crazy prize to cut and slash each other for.

 

We all just have fun and have some drinks and just overclock as friends and push each other further and have a few laughs at the same time but we are in completely different parts of the world but are all overclocking together and friends on the same board at the same time and its LIVE on the internet!

 

I cant be the only one here that thinks this would be awesome.

anyone? We should all get in here soon decide on a date and time so massman can post the live event on the front page so people know about it before it happens. Then we all start clocking at a time for a couple hours and while we are waiting for the cpu to get back to cold boot temps we are checking out how our friends are doing and pushing them to do better.

okay forget it. i just thought it was a good idea but maybe its too good for its own good. lets all just bench and be disconnected from everyone else and just do what we always do and just be in our own world and just make our submissions to the computer like robots. I just thought it would be cool if we all did this together. I remember benching while uncle fester was benching and how fun we had knowing we weren't alone and someone on the other side of the world was doing the same thing at the same time and shared the same frustrations and had a drink or a cig while waiting for the board to warm up after crapping out. I didnt even know him but he had a sense of humor and I could relate to and cant remember ever having so much fun overclocking. I just want to do it again. I wish you guys had that experience that day because I watched him while at work and got home and he had so many problems and i've been there so many times. I dont have any friends in new york ive clocked with except dr kim and none of my friends understand it. It was just cool to see a complete stranger going through the same crap as me on the other side of the world at the same time.

[dinos22]

im ugly as sin

no one wants to see me bench live

[chew*]

My boards acting retarded atm ever since i stuck a 650 in, praying to OC gods and giving acetone bath for the time being.

[trans am]

I'm praying for you buddy.

[pro]

any chance of having a VGA stage?

 

 

[dinos22]

[octacore]

omg, thats like a trabbi with a v8

[Hondacity]

any chance of having a VGA stage?

 

sure if we could get those pcie expanders

[Massman]

The will be released soon. They are going be be sold under the name "Ultra Durable Expander".

[Hondacity]

i hope its not more expensive than the h55n-usb3

[Blost]

omg , how you make this for two vga.

can you add more pics only bridge pci-e

[George_o/c]

I'm officially out of the contest One memory channel doesn't work, probably due to some bent pins or something. Even with 1.49V VTT I couldn't make 2:10 divider work... Only a few times, but I think that was completely random.

 

Nevermind, what matters is that I had lots of fun. Amazing little bastard could overclock my i7 860 up to 5GHz - 4930MHz 32M benchable. Congratulations to Gigabyte for manufacturing it! I wish I knew how to mod it, so that I could bump VTT at 1.55V or even more. That way I would have made 2:10 work flawlessly (my chip needs high VTT anyway).
