Gigabyte P55-UD6 testing with Core i5 750

[rdrash]

Nice review, seems like a capable little CPU ..... I'm interested in the max bclk for your CPU. I've got a P55-UD3R sitting here and plan to get it setup for next weekend....most likely I'll pickup a i5 750 locally. Miah and I will being do a review of the board so we'll start a new thread for all

i have been suprised by the ripjaws, when i did some digging. shocked to find ELP ic's used on them and they are getting those kind of clocks man! i just cant wait for my DDR3-1600 cas7 kit show up, not bad for $94.

nice results sno!

Off to a good start I think

What is the max you could get with the 750 on air Jeremy?

 

[sno.lcn]

Around 4500 so far. I went out of town though, I'll keep going when I get back Sunday night though

Ahh, nice clocks I was going nuts about your wPrime scores. Took me awhile figuring out why yours were faster, with 100 less mhz lol. Then I saw I have 2.0 and you run 1.55

Gotta say, i5 does look good from a price standpoint, theres no denying that. If you are just gaming, Id say its definately the to-get CPU at this point.

That's b/c 2.0 is not accepted at HWBot, only 1.55.

Did a little testing with LN2 the other night. This chip is fantastic on air, but doesn't like cold very much. But still not bad scores for only -35C

Nice! From what I've seen so far, most of the retail 750's are liking cold a bit better than the average ES chip, but that is based on a pretty small sample size at this point.

My 1156 stuff should be here Friday Gotta order some RipJaws I think...
