Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Ha!!!
THOSE are the boards I am dying to see get used.. all the Gigabyte X58A ones. The UD3 now has 6 slots for RAM, and instead of the (UD5)Extreme, they have the UD7, with the UD5 sitting right...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

The problem is a current one.. NOT a future one.

Currently, PT is hit or miss with W7x64; XP 32 is still the preferred OS. Thus, there is a hard 4G limit on physical RAM being seen, and of that,...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Ahhh! See, this is where I got confused. When I spec'd out my build, I was really careful, and selected pieces known to work together. The UD5 and OCZ Plat 1600 "get along." So, when set manually or...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Seriously??? lol!!! THAT is seriously retarded. Is it PT not liking that "Auto" setting in the BIOS? I did not think an app had BIOS level access, just the OS.

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

I have 12G (6x2G) of OCZ Plat 1600 and an i7 920 on a Giagbyte UD5; timings, speed, etc all chugging along at proper numbers via "auto" on my board. Maybe I am lucky? (verified in W7x64 with CPUz and...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

As for VE Pro... how is anyone getting more than 3.xG of RAM to use with a 32-bit Windows OS???

Run W7x64. With PT, your choices are a little slimmer, and VE Pro will likely be the best solution...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

ok, trying to grasp why everyone continues to go UD3R over UD5 when the price diff is only $20?

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

instead of the Giga UD5? Why?
IMO, ASUS screwed up with their new boards... less copper, non-Japanese caps (Korean i believe?). I chose the more expensive UD5 for a reason, and would do the same...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Check numbers on the box (well, letters: SLBEJ; SLBCH is C0.. IIRC). NewEgg should be all D0 i7 920, likely has been since July or Aug IIRC. Run CPU-Z, Core Temp, etc... it will show stepping, no...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

D0 stepping here. Waited for them actually. And yeah- price diff between the two boards when I was ready was less than $100. 12G RAM via 3 sticks vs 6 sticks at the time was about $600 or so I think....

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Never had this. BUT! I always turn that crap off. It is bad, regardless of issues or whatnot. EIST, C1, C4/C5, etc.. whatever they are, cannot recall offhand. All DISABLED. They interfere with audio...

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results

Ahh.. my bad. But, currently, I can populate my UD5 with 12G and spend less overall than you could with your UD3.. so there! :p (plus the UD5 can currently host up to 24G)

Re: i7 Builds - Specs and Results
