Waco Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Good review! The numbers are so close on most of the tests that I can't help but make a comment about the margin of error though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Game Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Looks like the oc'ability was limited by the speed of the ram used. I'd be interested in knowing what that quad can do, when not limited, with a board like this. Also interesting that it seemed there wasn't much gained by oc'ing. From 2664mhz to 3570, the gains in all the tests were minimal. That's a 34% oc, yet the testing results were like 4% better:( Edited August 18, 2008 by Fight Game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
