Hi what causes the pc to do 3 trys at booting up , i get this when i go to 4.6Gig, sometimes it defaults back to standard clocks , is it a power issue do you think?
No it is a CPU thing - what is the code you get when it reverts? I would guess 26 and then 4E.
It all depends on what your voltages are for other settings. If you are on the edge of what is stable and what is not then it happens. The funny thing about SB is that unlike other Intel processors or chip-sets there is very little leeway for nearly stable. Most of the time if you are booting to OS then you are quite likely to be stable for Vantage say. It is a either you are or you are not thing with SB. With the X58 for example I would get be able to bench some things at one frequency and not others. SB if I can bench one thing I normally can bench them all.
Nice one Andy - not many people can say they get 5GHz on their CPU with out extreme cooling. Now the fun and the frustration starts. Getting to 5GHz is relatively easy. Getting to 5.7GHz is the next goal. And boy is that a real B 1 tch
I was looking at this board the other day when considering my next upgrade. I've got a DFI LanParty at the minute and not impressed with them while my previous board was the EP45-DS3P and I was much more impressed with it so will more than likely go back to a Gigabyte board.
Nice to see that it's running stable at that speed, looks promising!
From a performance or efficiency point of view the Gigabyte board is leading the way. There are a couple of threads at different performance sites, including HWBOT that have remarked on the better efficiency of the Gigabyte boards. I am really enjoying my time with this board I must say. Every chipset has a iconic motherboard. The X48 had the REX that kicked sand in every other motherboards metaphorical face. Well for the P67 chipset the Gigabyte UD7 is 'da man'.
