Ok, some benchies at 4.5Ghz:

Super PI 1M:



Super PI 32M:



SiSoft Sandra Processor Arithmetic:



SiSoft Sandra MultiCore:



SiSoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth:



3DMark11 default settings:



3DMark Vantage default settings:



3DMark06 default settings:



Unigine 2.1 default settings @1920x1200:



Memory tab at CPU-Z:



OCing was a simple as typing 45 for the multiplier and picking the XMP profile at the BIOS, the P67A-UD7 took care of the rest, didn't need to change any voltage settings, I'm still looking at all the available BIOS settings and will try to go even higher, but for know I just entered this multiplier as it seemed like a good first step.

System is as stable as a building with horses in it, not a single crash, temps are very low all across the board, and I can say with confidence that in my personal experience, 4.5Ghz clocks can be used 24/7 without compromising system stability with a 100% retail, no engineering sample processor.

Your mileage may vary, but I think this is a beast of the proc, and I'm barely starting to reach its max potential.

Next will be some gaming benchmarks, guys, I'll appreciate if you can help me with these, as for most games, I dunno how to run in benchmark mode, instructions for a particular game will be appreciated, I'll let you guys know if I have it in my collection. Any suggestions and links to other benchmark programs will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, temps are 15~20 degrees lower than my Q9550@3.7Ghz with this proc :D

So you set the multi and the board did the rest eh... now I know there's not much left to do, but I detest when stuff automatically changes on me. Is there a way to have it not automatically change stuff for you?

There sure is! :cool: The BIOS has tons of settings to tweak even the tiniest details, I'm still going through some of them, but since I wanted to post some benchies ASAP I just changed the multiplier and bingo! Fully stable 4.5Ghz! :D

I'm pretty sure there's lots of settings an OCer like you would love ;) I'm also sure it'll be lots of fun playing with the settings to try and get the last drop of performance out of SB procs.

Gotta admit though that OCing on these systems just got a lot easier if you have the right hardware. :toast:

Warlock they have at least 3 newer bios`s up for the board,I think F6 has EFI or what ever its called.
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3646#bios

I don't think F6 is UEFI/EFI, otherwise they would state it in the description part.

I am planning on getting this board at the end of the month and from what I am seeing here, it definitely looks very promising.

Still waiting for the gaming and heavy overclocking results. Keep the good work coming :toast:

So how come it supports 3tb drives.

Not sure why those are even there... all you can do is change the multi. That's nothing new, we've always had that option with AMD FX, Black Edition, and the Intel Extremes, and the newer K models.

Yup, it's not the UEFI BIOS update yet, Gigabyte's still working on that one as I heard they wanted more stability during OCing as opposed to the old fashioned BIOS, and are trying to make sure the public release is stable. The board is UEFI ready so all we need is to wait for Gigabyte to finish testing it.

Not sure why those are even there... all you can do is change the multi. That's nothing new, we've always had that option with AMD FX, Black Edition, and the Intel Extremes, and the newer K models.

You're absolutely right, I think my statement was not fully accurate ;) getting 1.1Ghz higher clock out of the box using auto settings was such impressive feat, that I got carried away.

Been testing more OCing, I can boot to Win7 at 4.7Ghz, but results are not fully stable, fastest I can run Intelburn test is 4.6Ghz without having any problems, getting aprox 62 GFlOPs average. Been using FRAPS for AvP, BC2, Batman, Crysis: Warhead, COD:MW2 among others at 4.5Ghz, but wanna wait till I reach my max OC before posting final results.

A little update: At 1920x1200 and highest detail, 4xFSAA and 8xAF BC2 is runing at an average of 90FPS at 4.5Ghz and no OC to the GPU, I wanna finish OCing the proc before I push other system components and can give you guys 100% stable results :)

Been playing with BCLK at I can push it to 103Mhz@4.65Ghz, but it's not fully stable, so I'll not update any benchies yet. Will try pushing PLL voltage, Vdroop and VCC also, will loosen mem OC as I think running at 1866Mhz is affecting stability.

My goal is to achieve 5Ghz stable, will let you guys know how it goes.

Wouldn't it be easier to set a 50x multi? Of course it's possible your chip won't make it that far... it might just hand a big FU back to you when you try doing that.

I tried that already and didn't get past POST, so I think I may need to get my hands dirty and toy with some settings, will take baby steps and increase one multiplier at a time, hopefuly I won't have to push too hard to get there, and if that doesn't work, I'll just bench the system at most stable settings and call it a day :)

How much better are the Instructions Per Clock on these new CPUs? As clock speed isn't quite everything :)

What I don't like about them is that (in theory) the only chips that you can overclock on Sandby bridge is the "K moniker" chips. Defeats the whole purpose of overclocking. I am one of those old school overclockers whom takes a "$50 part" and attempts to match performance of the "$125 part". Buying a $300 part with a cost difference of $100 or so is not the way it should be done. Sorry i feel that way but just my .02 about the whole thing.

What I don't like about them is that (in theory) the only chips that you can overclock on Sandby bridge is the "K moniker" chips. Defeats the whole purpose of overclocking. I am one of those old school overclockers whom takes a "$50 part" and attempts to match performance of the "$125 part". Buying a $300 part with a cost difference of $100 or so is not the way it should be done. Sorry i feel that way but just my .02 about the whole thing.
I agree with you Jr. That what makes Over clocking fun is the exact same thing you just stated.
It was more cost effective to take a cheap cpu and be able to get it running the same as a higher cost cpu. Intel is digging into our pockets even more now with the Sandy Platform.

I am contemplating a Sandybridge build over the next few days. Just curious, why u went with UD7 MOBO vs the UD5 for much less $$?
