i5 adventures
I just got my i5 750 setup together & running Saturday, & started a little OCing yesterday.
__________________So far i feel kinda like a n00b again, as i'm very used to OCing x775 for years now, & things are definitely different for s1156/1366. Here are the main parts: i5 750 Noctua NH-U12P SE2 Gigabyte P55-UD3R G.Skill 4x2 GB DDR3-2000 Ripjaws The new toys  new Haf 932 housing the goods  installed in the case  CPU area view  i5 750 SLBLC Batch: L929B460  CPU  P55-UD3R  UD3R beige & blue glory?  top view of mobo  side view  I/O headers  Intel X25-M & OCZ Agilty: can't overclock these, but they are fast enough on their own  So getting to 20x200 (4 GHz) was a piece of cake...but since then, it's been pretty rough. LinX seems to be extremely hard to get stable, but P95 goes forever :/ 4.3 GHz SuperPi (not stable)  4.2 GHz is doing fine w/ P95 Blend for a few hrs.  But those exact settings fail LinX. I am still trying to learn the BIOS...going to take some time to figure out all the tricks.

Sweet build buddy. I can not wait to start building my i5 rig this weekend. Still waiting for Kingston (never took this long to receive something from Newegg). Originally I was going to get the UD3R but MicroCenter was out. Now that they have received some more, I'm going to exchange this UD4P (not really concern with SLI or Xfire) for the UD3R and be happy along with ya

That's nice, seems that more people are finally going i5. I've only spent a few hours messing with my rig. It's all new to me as well. Surprisingly, it overclocks really easy. Currently pushing around 4.1ghz, but the temp climbs pretty quick.

As i have no interest in SLI & actually wanted a board without the nForce chip, this worked well. Considering the disastrous track record nVidia has had with chipsets, i have zero desire to get a board containing their crap. That review is actually one of those i read that sold me on this board It was sub $150, & seemed to be the best option in that range other than the UD2, which was a bit sparse on some things i wanted, like only two fan headers, e.g. Quote:
I can't say i miss having to spend hours upon hours trying to find that magical VTT + GTLs & NB + GTL combination, haha. For mine, it seems past 4 GHz it really starts to devour vcore for lunch, & of course temps are consequently higher... Quote:

Finally got LinX stable, yay.
__________________I had to go down to 4.15 GHz as it seems to really need a lot of vcore to stabilize @ higher speeds, & temps are already cozy enough under load.
