The Intel LGA1150 Haswell Owners Thread & Survey (H.O.T.S)

[MacClipper]

Hi MacClipper,

I just oc my 4670k to 4.4ghz using the extreme 4. Ran linx64. But I am wondering why my timing so much different from urs. Urs is 5plus seconds whereas mine is always 10plus seconds. Any clue?

Prob. you used more RAM loading than my quick screening runs.

Big congrats on getting yours to 4.4GHz easily, I have been wondering if our local batch is consistently better than others.

 

[xingkia]

Thanks. By running linx64 without errors means it's stable?

Experience freezing on the uefi screen on the extreme 4. Check some other forums also got pple experiencing same problem.

Early days for all mobos, expect new bios soon

Can anyone confirm this guy's findings of his mobo vcore options?

No adaptive voltage option???

For MSI Z87-G45, to "truly" activate adaptive voltage, I need to turn on "Dynamic Mode" for the CPU ratio mode if I am doing OC.

By default, is "Auto".
For OC, we need to turn on "Fixed Mode", but it removed EIST option.
"Dynamic Mode" allows adaptive voltage changing while OCing, which includes EIST and Turbo forced on.

Other than turning on "Adaptive voltage" vcore mode + "Dynamic Mode" cpu ratio mode, there seems to be no other way to make it work though. At least for MSI side, from what I see.

Any downside to Dynamic Mode cos looks like MSI has finally made oc + EIST work for their Haswell mobos?

 

[Cryogenist]

Hmmm.. Didn't notice any downsides though/yet.

It's great to have the processor + fans running slow and cool while idling.
Saving power and low temps are always a great thing to have.

On the other side, Dynamic Mode gives me POWER on demand.. Nice

Or anyone know where I can find the mobo? It is in PCT? They didn't put a price though..

Thought he ordered off amazon?

My test sample came from Asrock HQ Taiwan.

oh.. so not sold in SG yet?

 

[muddle]

actually videopro has more haswell mobos....at least that's what listed on their pricelist....even the h87 performance is there

 

[y2suc]

just jumped onboard the haswell bandwagon!

 

[JasK]

I have joined the dark side, may my dragon bring me Victory.



not sure if untidy, cables for gpu and side fan sticking around

Cinebench 11.5

Definitely way more rigorous with AVX Vcore boosting to 1.272V than Cinebench 11.5 and yet the peak load DTS is only just 2C more.

Only managed to get to 4.5 stable. will post more when i am back tonight
