Ehhh... pretty much, why do you have something interesting to talk about?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 5, 2010

aint it for i7s? then it must be both 1156 and 1366

Thread title says it all.

Yeah, not sure but I had it off.

well just wanted to post up results and maybe get some pointers but its no real biggie I can get some from the i5 thread thanks guys.

Speed Spectrum clears up the noise (jitter) in the clocks (PCIe, unCore, QPI, etc). This can cause problems when overclocking since you run these clocks out of Intel specification for speed. Speed Spectrum tries to clear up this jitter and actually can cause you to need to use more voltage than necessary to get a good enough clear signal that doesn't get "cleaned up" by Speed Spectrum and actually causes the system to lose the signal and therefore have some kind of crash of stress test failure.

Thanks for the explanation and for also confirming it's better to have it off

I tried messing with it on to see if it would help at all. Took an almost stable overclocked and made it impossible to know what needed voltage. It would just randomly fail LinX at 30 mins. Bump vvt and it would fail in first pass. Bump vcore and it would run 20 min and BSOD. It was just all over the place and didn't really care what I did to it.

Parts are coming together for my next revision.

Great great PSU. Anyone curious should see the JonnyGuru review.

P6T6 WS Revolution. Fit's board old. Had no problem going to crazy BCLKs, so virtually no BCLK wall.

Geil PC317000 memory. Cas 9 timings@2133MHz. Easy 2GHz@Cas 8 on the x58 chipset. Great memory. Two sticks on RMA because I had to send a whole package back just to replace one bad stick. *grumbly noises*

What math problem is that under your ram?

Those are just class notes. Thanks for chatting about the parts

HammerON · Mar 10, 2010

Sorry - I was off topic

The parts are sweet, haven't seen that ANTEC PSU before. I will have to check out the reviews~
Sorry to hear about your RAM

That does suck.

Fitseries3 · Mar 10, 2010

that antec is the best damn PSU out right now.

on another note...

my rig is starting to come together and should be running to give you guys a shakedown soon.

Not really. It's very good, but the Enermax PSUs still do better. Although, they are also significantly more expensive. My Galaxy Evo 1250 was $80 more than the Antec. Antec easily takes the bang for buck crown on the 1000+ psus.

Now, question, is the UD7 worth the extra money over the UD5?

brandonwh64 · Mar 10, 2010

NICE binge!! that motherboard looks so great! show us some good clocks on it when your done!

Calculus is way more fun, what with those Secants, Co secants, natural logs and derivatives.

Sure doesn't look like a downgrade though. I too haven't seen that PSU before, I thought the Quattros only went to 1000.

Jakethesnake011 · Mar 11, 2010

Happy Core i7 980X Day to all! and to all a good OC!

and Binge you are not enjoying Double/Triple Integrals yet? Man you are missing out on all the fun. I just finished my last Calculus class, two whole years of it all done. I am going to guess your in Single variable calc still, by the look of the inverse trig functions. Well have fun with it

Are we still talking i7 or have we moved on to Calc 2? :laugh:

Nice Binge. Is there a reason you got the P6T6 over the P6T7? I love my P6T6. I've had it running almost constantly from about October of last year and has never gave me any hiccups even though I've punished it with several hours worth of LinX running.

You got a case for it or you just planning on leaving it on a bench?

(FIH) The Don · Mar 12, 2010

imma torture my SLI LE tonight and see if i can hit 4.3ghz on air with the thermalright IFX 14.
all doors and windows are open so it can get really cold in here

stay tuned

Good luck, show us a shot of the temps too

uhm, this board is strange, it wont go further than 3.8 :S

maybe i'm doing something wrong?

turned of all speedstepping crap.
uncore is at least 2x ram freq, memory is a tad under its specified speeds.
have tried for1.3v to 1.425v in vcore
qpi v ihave tried up to 1.35v,

and nothing happends:S

anyone else with a sli le board who knows how to get this thing working ?

Drop the RAM divider from 2:8 to 2:6. Tried that?

no i havent?

think that would help me ?
