Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 + i7 2600K

[OC Maximus]

After going back and forth and back and forth between x58 and P67 I've decided to go Sandy Bridge P67. Unfortunately I can't afford to play the 980x/990x 1k chip game or multi high end GPUs to keep up with the big boys. Also have no access to LN2 to make the best of these extreme chips anyway.

So on a semi-limited budget and with DICE as my only option for extreme cooling I figure Sandy Bridge will be a good fit for me.

Initial Setup:
CPU #1: i7 2600k (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52214) Batch# L040B705 (sold)
CPU #2: i7 2600k (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52214) Batch# L041C106 #0815
CPU #3: i7 2600k (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52214) Batch# L045A912 #2417
Water Block: Koolance CPU-360
Mobo: GA-P67A-UD5 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3647#ov)
Ram: Super-Talent 2000Mhz CL7 (http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=WX200UX6G7&title=Super-Talent-Speed-Series-DDR3-2000-6GB-3x2GB-CL7-Triple-Channel-Memory-Kit)
PSU: Antec TPQ-1200 1200W (http://www.antec.com/pdf/manuals/TPQ-1200%20Manual_EN.pdf)

Nice going man. Looking forward to your results. Hopefully you get lucky on the chip snag :)

[OC Maximus]

Thanks Mang :wt:

Looking forward to learning this new setup. Didn't go with a higher end board due to the seemingly limited OC potential of the p67 chipset. Plus I won't be benching more than 2 gpus in CrossFire/SLI anyway.

Can't wait to see what the z68 chipset brings to the table :leghump:

OCM :thumbsup:

[Chuchnit]

Good luck mang. Those Gigabyte P67 boards are mighty smexy. I'm tempted to get a UD5/7 when I file my taxes.

[DOM]

GIT-R-DONE!!

Dam smexy board .........

Can't wait to see some results from this platform.

For me I am out in the cold right now.

waiting on x68 goodnes in hopes things will be better

Best of luck ....... :thumbsup:

Man you guys get shafted hard on shipping times in HI. Maybe since it is soon 2011 they could drop the canoe service and go with something more modern? I know Kal gets next day air so he can have the part in 3-4 days. :( I can't wait till you get a CPU.

Now this is pretty exciting.

Benching at almost 5.5Ghz on air. :shock:

[Neuromancer]

Totally chip based from what I understand.

If I had the money to buy. I would wait a month or so and see if anyone comes out with a board that adds its own multipliers that can increase BCLK ability.

From an serious overclockers point of view. For just having the best new toys. You can't beat 5 GHz on air for desktop/gamer OC play machine :)

[OC Maximus]

The reason some guys can air bench at almost 5.5Ghz (on Intels Burrage mobo) and others at only 4.8-5.2Ghz (on Asus, Gigabyte, mobos ect) is due to a setting thats only available on the Intel P67 boards at the moment. Its called "Internal PLL voltage Override". Hopefully all OEM Motherboards will have this feature via a bios update upon official release.

OCM :thumbsup:

[OC Maximus]

Slight change of plan. After reading a few reviews I've decided to only pick up a 2600K for now.

[Chuchnit]

Prolly not too bad of an idea. Unless there is a bios fix so they clock on cold and unlock some more bclock I don't see these being too popular on hwbot. 2600k will be the only one worth hw boints. On the other hand, you can buy two 2500k's and bin them for only $100 more than a single 2600k.

[Hondacity]

2500k is i5 not an i7

here's a video for ocm

[Neuromancer]

where did OCM call the 2500K an i7?

[Hondacity]

just the facts

[OC Maximus]

Thanks for the link HC.

OCM :thumbsup:

[OC Maximus]

With nothing but time on my hands and waiting for payday to order my chip I've been working on my water cooling loop. The idea was to make something modular though the use of Koolance Quick Disconnects. This would allow me to go from CPU only Loop to CPU + GPU Loop to CPU + GPU @ Sub-Ambient Loop on the fly.

Loop configurations are as follows:

CPU Only Loop:
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

CPU @ GPU Loop:
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech MCW-60 Universal GPU Waterblock > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

CPU + GPU + Sub-Ambient Loop (3rd Triple Rad @ A/C Outlet):
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech MCW-60 Universal GPU Waterblock > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad @ A/C Outlet > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

I've tweaked my window A/C unit to run @ a constant bone chilling 2c/35f strictly for benching. :shock:

Lets hope I can get this chip to like the cold. If not I'll just set room temp to 20c, drop the 3rd triple rad and call it a day. :tg:

OCM :thumbsup:

[Kal-EL]

2c is very noice :)

[OC Maximus]

2c is very noice :)
Yeah, its pretty rediculous. Didn't belive it at first till I verified it with a second temp probe.

All I did was pull the themal bulb out of the evaperator coil and placed it a few inches away from a floor lamp light bulb so the system senses a constant load.

Takes about 5 min to get down from ambient to 12c and another 30min to get down to 2c.

Wonder how long she'll run @ full throttle before I kill the compressor, lol.

Nice runs OCM! God you got to love these Sandy Bridges. I hope mine is good. Of course I have yet to see bad results with any SB's yet. I ordered mine from the egg the second they came out but still ended up with a L041B229 when everyone else ended up with a L040XXX.

[Hondacity]

L041 and L040 ....i think they're closely related..

[DrNip]

How's your super talents running on the P67? Are they able to run at said specs?

[OC Maximus]

Nice! What temps for those settings? :good:
With vcore @ 1.5v I'm seeing a max core temp of 41c @ full load (using real temp and aida64) A/C blasting 4c air 2' away for two triple rads to cool the cpu/gpu.

1vCore accurate?
No, cpu-z isn't reading right.

How's your super talents running on the P67? Are they able to run at said specs?
These Super Talent Speed's are 2000 7-7-7-21 @ 1.65v. With SB there is no 2000 divider so I have to run them @ either 1866 or 2133. So far they are running solid at 2140 8-8-8-20 @ 1.68v but I think cas7 will need a little more voltage at that speed. Still need to see how tight I can get them @ 1866.

Well, seems like I have to drop it from 100 to 99.7 to boot in at x53 which sucks. And can only raise it up to 100.8 @ x52 before she freeze. I am using the 2133 divider so it may be my ram tapping out. Will be testing with tighter ram @ 1866 now and I'll report my findings. Haven't tried to find max bclk @ stock speeds yet.

I see Olive Theme! :D
Yet another experiment, lol.

Try this

[OC Maximus]

First major bump in the road.

I've been stuck at x52 with a slight bump up in bclk or x53 with a slight bump down in bclk. Max clock of 5.27ghz. After checking the Bot I've noticed nobody else with a p67 UD5 has been benching above 5.3ghz. On the other hand the UD7 has quite a few x56 submissions so hopefully my board bios is limiting my OC and not the chip itself.

In short its looking like the UD5 maxes out at x53 and the UD7 at x56. At least thats what I'm hoping the issue is. Time will tell.

Will that chip go any higher as a dual core or no ht?

[OC Maximus]

Will that chip go any higher as a dual core or no ht?
HT is off at the moment. Can't get past 5.3Ghz. Tried 1 core and it defaulted to 3.8GHz for some reason. Tried booting in at 5.3GHz on 2 cores and it booted but froze shortly there after. Best I can do is 52x 100.8 stable @ 1.55v.

I've tried up to 1.7v to get past the wall 5.3Ghz to no avail. Like I said before, I think and hope its a bios issue and not the chip itself but we will see. I've read reports on XS that the UD5 with F6a bios has not gotten past x53 multiplier stable yet so........... anyone wanna donate an MSI, Asus, or Intel board :)

Have you seen what your max cpu validation is?
5.3Ghz and not stable.

Dam.... keep pounding it .......... :thumbsup:
Thanks what she said :D

For OCM...
WTF, lmao.

[GeorgeStorm]

5.3Ghz and not stable.



Thats the point of max cpu-z, it should only be stable enough to grab the validation before it BSODs all over you ;)

[DrNip]

True, true, true. Stable to me is passing whatever bench, stress test or application I am trying to run. So 5.3ghz is CPU-z stable seeing that is what you got. :D

Good Eye. I should have picked that up too since I am hating on GSKill for pulling that 2T crap all of the time.

T1 @ 2133 didn't boot early on, I'll try again later on today though. I still have quite lot of work left in tweaking my timings and subtimings.

Rams did 2173MHz 7-8-7-22 T1 today but didn't seem to make a difference in any 2D benches compared to 2173MHz 8-8-8-20 T2. And still won't run spi3m at that speed.

Unfortunately not stable enough to run spi32m.

Tried vdimm 1.66v-1.8v. Fan on the Rams. Actually haven't been able to run 2133+ in spi32m at all.

Try adding some system agent or vtt or both?
or try tRCD 9, 7-9-7

What VCCIO and VCCSA are you running?

This RAM I have is not very OC friendly LOL Or its SB platform :S

I have my SA at 1.15 and IO at 1.275 to get 2133-2200+ stable. But I am also running up to 104 BCLK

No Waza

[DrNip]

You need to try the TaiServer OS.

[rickss69]

He needs to use wazza...

[DrNip]

I shaved 20 seconds off my time just by switching OS as well as ran it with looser timings in the TaiServer. Will be using it again when I get my 2600k up and running.

[Splave]

hey OCM you have display drivers installed? If not you should :)

[Splave]

thats actually a pretty nice run for no wazza and your slow ass ram speed. :D No offense, seems to be a gigabyte issue atm. have you tryed f7d?

add some nice subtimings, wazza and you should hit 6:19 6:20 or so

[DrNip]

Looks pretty good to me too.

[OC Maximus]

Link?

I couldn't get waza done before crash. @ 7-7-7-21 was only stable for less than 10 min. Tried over and over again to get a waza run in to no avail. After screwing around for hours and being to stubborn not to change my timings I called it a night.
hey OCM you have display drivers installed? If not you should :)
Using old set of Nvidia drivers.

Quicky temp test with A/C set to 64c (Air coming out is 7c :)). Vcore 1.54v set in bios.

Nice going there OCM, Can you post your settings?, got a Gigabyte setup, dont wanna waste days trying the settings. Already got to 4.8Ghz within the first 10 minutes of booting the setup. Had to leave for office after that. Ocing is like childs play on the SB. So do I need the settings?? Guess will like to savor the labour, :P

Well, thats about all I've been able to do with this chip so far.

Still working it though. Having issues booting at x54.

[thebanik]

Its a different chip or the same one as before OCM??? How did you boot above 100bclk if its with the same chip??? Sadly I exchanged my chip which was able to boot at x53 multi and the present one cannot boot at x53 even at 99.5 bclk, lol

[OC Maximus]

Its a different chip, got it today. Updated post.

Its his 2nd chip that he is selling, I am sure its not upto his standard hence, it certainly wont be OCA standard in that case I am assuming.

Fed #2 upto 1.65 vcore and tested x54, x55,x56, and x57. Looks like she's capped at x53. This chip does need less vcore to run stable than #1 chip. With 1.52v she is rock solid @ 5.3GHz, the last chip needed 1.55v for 5.2GHz.

c stepping is rare :D nice that it is an improvement now RMA the other one ;)
Sold #1 to afford #2. Kinda risky but it worked out. Gonna 3D bench this one for a little while before going for #3.

[DrNip]

So what happens when you try 54 multi? What I mean is how far along the boot process does it get? To the bios screen, windows log on or does it not even post?

[OC Maximus]

It reverts to 3.4ghz. Same thing my last chip did @ x53 without lowring bclk.

what happens with mine is chip #1 wont boot over 5087, so I can use 51x99.5 or 52x97.5 then it hits the same wall when I am it up at each multi. I think booting much lower than 97bclk does not work. It benches 32m 5200x100 but freezes windows 100.2 no matter what volts.

Chip #2 maxes at 5100, poop

That sucks dude. I was praying that my #2 would be much better but its only slightly better. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to get a hold of a #3 chip. May be little while. Concentrating on rams first then I'll give the 2600k lottery another go. :D
