pffftttt!!!

down right simple really.

im really suprised to see it all come together so easily.

it was just a matter of getting the feel for what the board and gpu wants.

But I'm curious... except for features, so in pure OCability that means etc, is there any advantage of getting say, the UD5 over the ECS?

idk if my question is clear... probably isn't lol

Yes I know GB's Bios is amazing, but except saving time and making it much easier, would it make the OCs any different?

I'm going with the ud5 from Assassin anyways I'm just curious because I get these kinds of questions sometimes and I cannot know for sure lol... All I can tell them is GB is quality and has an amazing BIOS compared to others lol

I have a question regarding my OC, I'm using UD5 with i7 920 D0

this is my first i7 and I'm confused

here is my settings:
181x20 = 3600MHz
vcore: 1.23v
QPI/VTT: 1.335v
IOH: 1.100
DDR V: 1.64v
Ram running @ 721MHz 7-7-7-20-1
all other settings are set @ AUTO

is this voltage ok, or should I lower the QPI/VTT?

first off I doubt your RAM needs 1.64v at those speeds.

second, you *should* be able to reach these speeds on AUTO. Monitor the voltages AUTO gives you and work from there.

you mean to check the auto voltages by ET6?
and what is the appropriate QPI/VTT should be set at for this settings?

Yes, go to BIOS, set BCLK @ whatever you want and all the rest on AUTO
Then use ET6/CPU-Z to check what voltages your mobo think are right.

Basically you can lower some voltages after that, but AUTO is a good guideline to start with.
Plus, at least what I noticed, I can boot with AUTO settings up to at least 183 BCLK

34k on air without Physx is pretty good fits.

So, is the 212 all the higher the GB board will go, or just the highest you've tested so far?

Welp I should have my D0 by Friday so it will be nice. Although I will not have my C0 at the same time, is there a problem with the new D0 chips and BIOS? I have the newest MSI BIOS, I would think they would code in the D0, but who knows.

is that a normal behavior? only happen after shutdown and power on

when I power on my PC, I could hear like 3 resets happen (the blue led behind the ram which show your OC level turn off and on like 3 times) it doesn't shutdown and power on again, it just doing like 3 reset in the row without any shutdown, I entered the bios after, but it doesn't say anything about reverting from bad OC, and every stress test passed fine.
