Yeah definitely hitting power limits...Anyone tried flashing a slightly higher Power Limited Bios like the Gigabyte Gaming OC? Or TUF? To be honest though, whatever stable overclock I have on Port Royal, is not stable for any other benchmark. My Port Royal OC can go as high as 150Mhz and only...

But But boys if I go +45 in MSI afterburner I see it immediately as 2050Mhz in everything. Anything more and it crashes. Port Royal I can literaly go right up to 150Mhz before it does anything! I dont think its unstable or power limit to be frank, it seems to be some weird ass issue

Could be, but it doesn't hit such limits elsewhere...or is Port Royal more intense? Either way, GPU is amazing, and I doubt having it clock higher or use more wattage makes any considerable difference whatsoever

Hey guys. Just got this baby, MSI Ventus OC 3080 as where I'm based, South Africa, stock is literally non existent (and I really wanted the Strix). I must say I'm impressed. Card runs so cool and looks incredible. It overclocks well, I get 2050Mhz in all my synthetic benchmarks and in games...

Go for it!!! And with your chip a, ANYTHIUNG, is possible!! Although I do hear a water cooling kit calling your name!!! I try my best with the Noctua...AC in the room stays on at 20c. But ambient temps are always a killer! Right now its 35c out there! Im really thinking of making the change...

Thank you!!! And wow!!! That is amazing!!!! I LOVE YOUR CHIP!!! Youve actually helped me lower my temps a bit too. Im currently using an Asrock Extreme 3 Gen 3 but dont worry! The Gigabyte is waiting for a 2500K an is going to be my LAN rig! Keep in mind Im running hyperthreading and live in...

I am soooo jealous!!!! You have won the CPU lotto!!!! Well done mate!!!! Take that beauty to 5!!!

That's actually very impressive. My Core is at 1.3 and I'm using a Noctua D14....very very impressive. Would love to know what ambient temps were and the version of prime used.

Thanks mate! Hahahahahahah the DVD drive is just there to fill the gap! I really dont know whens the last time I ever used a DVD drive:D I always laugh and tell my friends, we in 2012, discs should be obsolete:D I have a old Core 2 Duo filled with HDDs just so my case stays nice and...

They pretty decent fans...I replaced the fans on my Noctua D14 for these...Good cooling but they are a bit on the loud side if you ask me.

No mate I stay in a little country called Swaziland , Africa..picked up my motherboard in South Africa . I wonder why the Revision1 boards dont have that feature as I found that I was only "fully" stable once I used the load line settings. Maybe you should contact Gigabyte and find out about...

Sorry the Noctua blocks like...everything!!!

Im using same board:) Revision FC turned out being a "buggy" and Gigabyte have dropped it and put FCc back up. My overclock was superstable but all of a sudden at random intervals the display would switch off and my graphics card would spin its fans at the highest speeds ( Bios FC ).

Whoa....those temps seem a bit toooo high to me...running a D14 on a 2600k with hyperthreading on and the max I reach at 4.7 ghz is 73c! And thats highest temp...its usually 65 on all cores at full IBT at maximum... Need to post some screenshots tomorrow

Bios Version FC release today for Revission2 boards...Support for Ivy Bridge included...I can safely say that after a whole days worth of testing, this bios is so much more stable than all previos versions.

Whoa sorry! Definite typo! But Im sure you figured that out:D I do not like this BIOS at all(FCc)..I prefer FB...The cold boot issue is somewhat worse with this BIOS(FCc).

Im on the Revision2 Board and my BIOS is on F3c . If I have a powercut or have to hard switch off the machine( push power button till system switches off) due to bad overclock, is the only time I get bootloops. Usually a 5-15min battery reset fixes it.

Firstly, good stuff, its about time us Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 owners get some insight. I have the same board only with a i7 2600K, which , from overclocking experience, works just like a 2500k, except with Hyper Threading. Secondly, I have been through tons of sites getting in as much info as I can...

Niel79 had made the process amazingly easy. Have the same Mobo as you, just I have a 2600K \MB - ( M.I.T )/ \Advanced Frequency Settings/ CPU CLOCK - 33X BCLK - ( DISABLED ) left at default 100mhz EXTREME MEMORY PROFILE XMP - ( PROFILE 1 ) SYSTEM MEMORY MULTI - ( AUTO ) \Advanced...

Awesome setup and temps!!! Please clean case!! Such beautifull equipment deserve the best care!!!
