**UD7 Benching fun**

[1Day]

**P67 Benching fun**

Over the weekend I put aside some time to run a few benchmarks with my new board.

Last weekend I got to unpack it and play for the first time with SB. LINK

CPU 2600-K
Motherboard Gigabyte P67A-UD7
Ram Geil 2 x 2GB 2133MHz

CPU Cooling - Water
Swiftec XT CPU Block
120.2 Rad
655 Laing Var Pump

Graphics Cards all stock cooling.

BIOS F7a
vCore 1.520
Vtt - 1.08
Pll 1.76
All the rest on auto.

3DMarkVantage - Physix Disabled.

30573

3DMark06 run with 2133MHz on the ram.

36491

3DMark05

47865

3DMark03

115290

3DMark2001

Serious Old School Benching, but still my favorite benchmark to do. The amount of tweaking you can do is never ending.

AMD HD5870

GeForce 285GTX

Will be benching the 580GTX and this benchmark in the next week or so. Hoping to improve on my personal best.

WPrime 1024 ver1.55

Super PI 32mil

Wrap up - this motherboard and CPU combination is a real winner for me. Ram has been a issue for some folks with their board but touch wood I have no had a single issue. And I have used three different kinds of ram, during the weekend I ran a few benchmarks at 2133 MHz with the Geil sticks. Booted into 5.288 with the Gskill 2 x 4GH sticks at 1866 Cas 8 and of course with the ever reliable Corsairs I can pretty much boot into 2000MHz with cas 7 if I wanted. Each and every time the board just booted into OS without any stress at all.

I just wish that my CPU would allow me to go further than 53x or 5.288GHz but it will not.... yet. The fact that the CPU is Vantage stable, 32Mil Pi rock solid and Wprime1024 solid must indicate that there is more headroom for higher frequencies with this CPU.

All benchmarks run are compliant with the rules of HWBOT.

The 2001 results were run for a Country Cup Team Contest that is currently on the go and is open to anyone who wishes to compete.

Thanks for looking.

Hey,

Impressive benchmarks there mate, but your vcore surely thats asking for sandybridge turning into a lump of glass?!??!

Not to worry that was only for the hour or so I was trying to find max frequency for the CPU.

Nice OC on that chip, not seen many reach 5.2

 

[Mr. May]

am i missing something the core voltage is only 1.068 iam sure you can safley go to 1.35 so i've read ?

 

[qbazdz]

Wow!
Really wondering how would it work on another board etc.

Read in his initial post, it states he's using an insane vcore, not sure why cpu-z shows so low!

CPU-z does not read the vocore correctly. I was pushing the volts really hard (insane hard) to try and get a max overclock verification. But it would not go higher than 5.288 GHz regardless of what I did. I can and do run 5.288 on air with far less voltages. But for the purposes of that hours benching session it was worth it.

CPU-z 1.562 will read the voltages correctly but it is a beta and not sure acceptable for validation purposes hence I used the official version.

Volts for 5.1GHz on air are as follows.

1.440 Vcore
1.08 Vtt
1.76 PLL

All the rest on auto.

I'm finding it really tempting to build a new computer with a 2500k or 2600k but I would feel so bad ditching my baby (in my sig), it's barely five years old.

Bună ziua prietenul meu. Ce te aduce la OCUK? Vă va vizita aici de multe ori sau doar o singură dată? Monstru vă rugăm să vă împărtăşesc câteva dintre benchmark dvs. cu aceasta placa de baza va rog.

Win7 OS gone and some benching OS in the house.

Start with a bench I stuggle with.

3DMark05

48485

3DMarkVantage

31970

Then one I really like

3DMark2001SE

CPU @ 5.288GHz left speed step on.

116179

Had a 116900 2001 Result but lost it when my OS corrupted.


3DMark06

38702

This one is still ongoing. Had to stop at 4am just too cold and tired.

Have slightly better score but not submitted to HWBOT yet.

AM3

No result - I really have no idea what I am doing here with this benchmark and the 580GTX. XP is crap and I am crap.

 

[shadow_boxer]

Amazing system and a cracking overclock!

 

[Brizzles]

greetings from monstru,

Monstru, a familiar name.

You were in the Gigabyte OC Challenge at Campus Party Madrid last year.

I remember the name because you poured LN2 into my hand for a laugh, as i watched you guys at work.

I was in the modding part of the event.

Back on topic, i'll be having a crack at my i2500k / UD4 combo over the weekend - Looking for 4.6ghz+ ideally

Yes he is the very same Monstru - of LAB51 fame Real good guy.


Thanks shadow_boxer

Fingers crossed I get a golden CPU.
