TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Is DFI > gigabyte ud4p or ud5? is this the mobo your talking about?

because that mobo can only support 1600 OCed RAM??? o.O all DFI mobos are 1333 RAM compatible except that one? what are the advantages of DFI to the ud4p?

yes that is it, but please read binges response on top of my post

I wouldn't go too deep into what speed ram a motherboard can handle. On my DFI I pushed 2200MHz and it did just fine.

thanks, board say they handle this much, but most of times its fixed with BIOS updates and stuff. At least my DFI that i bought for my AMD rig said it supported up to DDR2 800 but with the latest BIOS they fixed that, and now in the BIOS you can set the RAM to 400,667, 800, and 1066. So that further proves BInge's point.
 
yay, another one to the crew woot woot. You';ll love it dude. Got your eyes set on a board yet?
I think either the GB UD5 or Extreme. I want to stick with GB this time around for the better osx86 support.
 
I see... so they don't block you at 1600... but isn't it bad for the mobo and the ram? does DFI OC better, and if so much better? than the ud4p gigabyte?

I personally havent had experience with any overclocking GB board, thats why I dont say so. DFI, ASUS, and EVGA are my experiences. I rather DFI and EVGA.

You always run the risk of doing something that's "bad" for the mobo and ram no matter what board you get. Also each board is different just like each chip is different. Between the two none of us are really qualified to give you an answer based off of anything but personal opinion. If you want my opinion I would go with the DFI, EVGA, or Foxconn (only the Blood Rage though) x58 motherboards
 
anyone heard of something good or bad on the GB ud4p or ud5p?? Ud4p with i7 920 and MIR is very cheap
 
hey guys,

just got some new hardware, will post more later on when i get time.

for now, here's a screeny...

Wow that is the bomb, How high can they stray from thier ratings, they are rated at 1066 nd you rocked them up to 1280 @ cas 7 very sweet, have you pushed them any further?

Fit Strikes again :rockout:
 
they booted 1970mhz 8-7-7-20 without any hesitation. i accidentally left the timings from my gskills in the bios and boot these. nothing bad though.
