Gigabyte Announces Overclocking Contest

wtf... 1.8 is standard ddr voltage, why would it not go higher?

 

[Poizen22]

lol 1.8 is the lowest mine can go.

its not a gimmick. It draws power from the unit instead of the board resulting in cleaner, stable voltage. Even w/ all four slots filled it will overclock no probs. Less strain on the NB and motherboard. Unit definitely isn't for the average joe

i think i might pick up a gig stick of mushkin 1150 and try ramping it up on a P4 system... the overall performance will be pretty shocking, but i might be able to push the memory up there with some good cooling

EDIT: oh yeah... does anyone know if it has to be a UD3 (if so, these guys are really pushing this new line!) or can i try it on my DS3P?

[NosBoost300]

and it has to be dual channel.. you need two stick.. and someones already done 750 mhz

 

[BongWizard]

meh... im not buying a new board and top shelf DIMMs just to accept a challenge... might see if i can find a UD3P i can have a play with anyways!

so you're "finally" getting an i7 system nos?? i love that GA board you've got... great thing that it is SLI enabled, should make it a fast seller... should be a beastly clocker from what im hearing too... i wanna see what you can push that bus to when you get it!

 

[NosBoost300]

[BongWizard]
