I have been thinking about the IMC issues many guys are talking about. I bet the guys that are having trouble with brands, also have insanely high Bandwidth results.


Basically it boils down to it being another FSB issue. Since BCLK can not be upped, you gotta drop mem speed/timings to not over saturate.

Think it is why, for instance, Wprime runs easily at lower volts, and things like superpi require more. Since it is hitting the mem pretty hard too.

As for recommendations, I do not have one for your Chuch. only experience is with Dleuxe and learning hte pro right now.

New BIOS on the Deluxe works really well, M4E is ASUS flagship, so expect to pay for it.

asrock IS ASUS as far I am concerned.


OH, phases are not as important anymore, 4 phase power is Intel spec and their boards clock sandyB pretty well. Although I am chip limited at ~5.2 ish more speed might need more power.

Loaded sandyBs at 4.8GHz are using like 230W vice 81W at idle of power though (total system)

im thinking of selling them before i kill them cuz there eol

and saw sutff on z68 starting to show up now

UD5 looks nice and all but it is about $20 more expensive than it should be. It's funny that it is considering where they priced the UD7 vs. the MIVE. Gigabyte confuses the hell out of me.

Z68 does nothing for me. In no shape form or fashion do I want display connectors that I will never use wasting precious real estate on my back I/O. I just don't see what all the buzz is about it. It's nothing like the early rumors said. It's just P67 + the ability to use the crud onboard GPU.

Ya all that phase stuff doesn't get my rocks off. The one thing that turns me on about sandy clit is the fact that it can do double duty as my daily rig and whip out competitive clocks without every changing cooling. If this was just for benching I wouldn't even care about all this stuff, but it will be 80% my daily grinder 20% benching when I can catch the wife and kid gone or sleeping. I just don't want some buggy garbage that's always giving me headaches when I wanna play a game or surf the net. Later this year I'll try to upgrade to a dedicated bench rig again.

UD7 or UD5 dude

I was going to get the UD7 but the MIVE became availible first ..........
