when i got the x58 xtreme hicookie only messaged a few people for some tweaks... way to go promoting a shitty product..which can't do high bclk...i remember paying 350$ for that shit...and yeah i sold it for 100$ to get it off of my inventory...


unlike shammy from evga....he's all out helping....i love shammy...thats man love! lol


reasons why i won't join... after checking some infos

1. support from hicookie ...is lack luster. nuff said....

2. anyways i studied the board...1.9v vcore max for cpu ..is a limiting factor...i won't even touch modding that mobo.. i wanna go all out on the superpi1m with an i670..but this won't be the motherboard.( even if hicookie got sub6 on this mobo...and thats what gigabyte is trying to market....)..evga is my primary choice here...and evga's coldbug mod is just awesome..works great. 24phase on all ud7 boards are ok..but lacks control compared to asus and evga's pwm circuits...


3. and the prizes are for non extreme users....poor selection of prizes...if they're expecting us to use liquid nitrogen they should have opted to prize winners with liquid nitrogen or extreme boards..and hardware...

power supply is thermaltake? thats POS! why not gigabte odin power supplies?

I have no problem running the UD6 I believe this i a better board then the UD6A(usb3) my only concern is the socket.

My board has the old cpu socket burner (FOXCONN) and I don't wanna burn my i5 670.

The GT "tweaks" for intel burn are....
1) Burn doesnt care about HT, so disable it...
2) Frequency doesnt matter that much, bclk on the other hand - is critical
