What is your thoughts on the Giga for sub-zero? Do you have any idea what the dealio is? I mean there are tons of great subs on the bot with the UD6. Is the bios less user friendly than the classy? Honestly the reason I won't get the classy is because I can only afford used and evga has started blocking the d/l's for eleet and such. Plus I really want to try something different than evga for a change. If the board sucks it will be a great upgrade for the the inlaws from their 5yr old Dell




imo, as active as you are in benching, I would keep the 965, x48 and x58. Dump the P55 to keep it simple. x58 for 90% of your benching, 965 for when you are in the cpuz mood, and x48 when you are feeling a little love for 01

Great post

Idk whats up with the gigabyte maybe its a bios thing im not sure. I tryed 1.85vcore 1.45-1.55vtt and 5.9ghz was my ceiling on a known 6.4 chip the 661, i680 hit the same exact limit so its def a board issue or 1 key setting im missing.

On my old e760, 250 bclk was the max limit no matter what chip I used as far as 920's go. Brick wall when I set 251. I chocked it up to nb limit after I tried everything I could think of....

Maybe a different ud6 would yield better results? or maybe a 7?

Ya know I haven't played with P55, but I do have a giga P45 in the daily. I tried overclocking it a little, but the bios was like japanese to me. That's why I keep wondering if its a seat time thing. I mean be honest. You know the P55 classy like the back of your hand. Hell you figured out the high memory straps when guys were still having issues. I am just wondering what you could do if you still had a phase changer to get to know it a little more? Still though it would be wise to think real hard about if you are spreading yourself too thin on platforms and limiting what you can do by doing it.
