im very please with this new board, the voltage regulation is simply amazing. although the fsb maxes out a little lower, i think after i give the AS some time to cure it will be ok.. the only issues i had with it was getting it to post at first, because of only 2.5vdimm at default. also, slots 2+4 seem to be more stable then slots 1+3, which took quite a bit of testing to discover.

Benchmarks:

more to come...

Very nicely done on the OC !

Are you using a M0 stepped 2.4c ?

Looks like the AI7 has very good potential .

are you Prime95 stable at that speed? I'm curious.. I am waiting for my BH5 mushkin pc3500 right now.. should be here any day... got a couple of 2.4c M0s waiting to be pushed.. I am only using AIR cooling but I hope to reach 270-290fsb at least at 5:4.

Prime stable is a main concern for me.... my machine must be stable.

Really sweet OC btw...

nice numbers. I have the exact same mobo/ram/cpu combo, but I can only hit 3.2 . I've seen a couple other people with the exact same set that get stuck where I am 267-270fsb.

Click to expand...

That's strange, don't you need to adjust something?

nice OC.

turbodeuce, try 3:2 ratio just to see what your max OC on that chip is....
then you can tweak away for best overall performance.

I can also second that the AI7 is a solid board. And the UGuru is very nice.
