Re: **The Official TF LINPACK Thread**
lol, jk man
I assume you have flashed it to the latest bios? Overclocking on my gigabyte is no cakewalk either, but once you figure it out this thing is rock solid stable.
^ It's fine for basic OCing, but once you try to push past 3.8, it's a FINE balancing act.. This thing NEVER loads windows the same every time, it's got buggy RAID support, buggy OCing, touchy NB, resets your RAM to AUTO after it BSODs, doesn't like to reset the HT after a bad clock, so you have to reset it MANUALLY, which doesn't happen much anymore.. Can key everything in fine for a 3.8 run, it'll be stable the WHOLE way thru linepack (almost IBT stable) and go back to the bios to try for a 3.9 run and it BSODs right after the post/ACHI check.. Arrrgh!!
I love the board, but once you get a little more demanding, it falls short. I want the GD70 board, but I hate AMI bios..
And Phil: don't start with that again.
