TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

you didnt see the part where the nf200 causes lower performance in dual card SLI setups? its not just a few FPS either.

thats a turn off for me.



anywho...

I think im done benching. so im going to start selling off some things.

im going to stick with DFI and get 6gb of ram and another gtx295. just going to fold with 6 gpus and call it a day.

maybe a few games here and there.

hold off for the 8core cpu's.

Sweet folder :toast:

On the other note, I have to say, no this doesn't even phase me, they were so close... Plus i'll wait for more testing on that subject., ...

We are still testing SLI performance with the latest 182.06 driver release and the new BIOS we just received from EVGA. The performance penalties we are currently seeing with the NF200 equipped X58 Classified board average about 1%~3%. In other game benchmarks where we are not GPU limited, we have not noticed any performance differences between the boards.

Chicken, the EVGA look nice? Clock nicely? If so, I may get the EVGA board along with 920 and 6GB 1866MHz RAM.

honestly i love this board. so far to me its been flawless, the board did have a few glitches and what not at first, but now they are all gone, at least I dont notice any. Its got a coiuple of nice features. THe LCD poster displays CPU temps while in windows, see the picture below. If you tweak it correctly the vregs and NB stay relatively cool with factory cooling. The BIOS is easy, voltages are not hard to understand and tweak. Overall clocks great in my opinion, I dont go higher because im scared, if I push it more it'll go, im sure!

look at this pic, the lcd poster shows 23, that is the CPU ambient temp which reports steadily about 10ºc cooler than the actual cores.

I cannot give it high enough praise, i love the looks and i like the bois and even more it has rocked and rolled with everything i have thrown at it.

I had the Gig Extreme board, I liked that board but the Bloodrage was lightyears ahead for the small settings.

I'll be getting a classifed 4 sure, so we'll see just how it handles the Igloo...

I just hope there is a few cold days left this season, but look, I see a new toy comming in my future....:eek:

Can you shut up? I'm asking Patty a question. Your name isn't mentioned in my message. :respect:

Thanks, Patty :).

I'm gonna go for the EVGA then, cheers again.

the EVGA board is to me a very solid board, seen some great results with it, I would recommend it to anyone. However there is a lot of new boards out and some about to be released. So I would do some research.

hey that kind of talk isn't wanted here, this is for every opinion :shadedshu

Yeah dude seriously, we really don't need that. This thread has been awesome from the beginning, FIT himself has helped many of us in here get to where we are now and he really does not need posts like that towards him, and neither do any of us.

He was just pointing out that you dont need expensive RAM, his ram was under $100 and it performs as good or better than any RAM out there. THe chips on the RAM are awesome, just that it does not have any heat spreaders or anything.

Now seriously lets all get along, we don't need any of this talk in here :toast:
 
my current setup cost me $470 and make my original high dollar setup look like total garbage.

i think that speaks for itself.
 
Damn cp, SystemViper is right.
cp your rig pic gave me a woody.
 
Yo CP you look like you have a handle on your rig BLING-OUT skills. Come on over and help me jazz mine up. Just got it up and running to test things like PSU/RAM. My 295 is still in the mail, so it'll be a while.

thanks guys, the pics are edited slightly as far as contrast and color, no huge difference, and well in this one in particular the spot light gives it a nice touch :D

Thanks a lot, really :toast:
