micro is 199 i thought...

wouldnt or would?

LOL. Fixed. Wouldn't. There was some controversy about the msrp on that board. It was originally $199, then EVGA jacked it up to $209, and so did the retailers. Not sure why.

tell you the truth...

EVERY SINLGE MSI product i have ever owned has been DOA. even RMAed items.

great quality control i say...

Same here, though I haven't bought an MSI board in 5 years.

The new board for the x58 eclipse was not bad. I like my ud5 much much more but the board was not crap like some of the other's I have heard about with MSI. But I have to say there customer service is down the toilet, it is non existent.

mudkip · Jul 22, 2009

I had a MSI P45 Fr-2 , their high end p45 board.

Board was shit , seriously overclocking sucked on it, bad BIOS support etc.. i'd never buy a MSI board again

My MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum was nice a decent OC board in the day, but it had a bug in the mobo temp sensor that made it jump from about 30C to 40C. Not good for testing and getting accurate temps.

My current MSI P6N Diamond has a nasty vdroop (around.08v).

Both boards work perfectly fine, but niether board met my high standards :shadedshu

King Wookie · Jul 22, 2009

Can't say I've really pushed mine, but my P35 Neo 2 FIR is running 500 FSB 24/7 and has been a great board. I did read one or 2 reasonable reviews on some of their newer X58 boards. Currently they are the cheapest boards available here in SA, so if ever funds appear, I might get one to try.

Sounds like your board is legally drunk.

I want the micro just to have it, its so damn nice looking.

I'm limited by the mobo, could've gone further but I can't raise my pci-e over 103, and POST with 223 blck is also impossible

I'll be at the peach farm in Wilcox this weekend. I would surely let you in my house to OC my rig haha. I may if we get back early. :rockout:

What are you in Tucson for fits?

Stop your making me have too big expectations on the i7 rig I'm buying tonight

if you push enough volts in it i will reach 4,6Ghz easily, even my C0 could do that

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 22, 2009

Mudkip
did you hard-mod the board to get it past the 223 bclk wall many people are talking about?

n-ster · Jul 22, 2009

not if you want your chip pretty safe and on air... I'm aiming for 75 degrees on the hardest stress test and something around 3.6 and 4... Vague expectations = good

No , just raise the pci-e freq and blck with getfsb. I'd love to see a BIOS which is stable with pci-e freq above 103.

I was on air while 4,7Ghz . :eek:

80 degrees idle

but oh well , these things are rough

Yeaaaaaaaa I think I'll stay away from that for some reason :rolleyes:

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 22, 2009

I have not been able to see any BIOS from the UD5 with a stable 104 pci-e, so you have to hard mod it and break a cap off the board and re apply somewhere else on the board. I will give fsb program a shot.

I think you mean to ask what affects stability of high bclock. Everything affects stability. BCLocK is only a function of the cpu, but if the rest of the components can't match the CPU then there's going to be crashes, blue screens, corrupt bios, and the rest of the problems that come from bad overclocks.

it's called setFSB not getfsb , sorry
