5.4Ghz and a E8500 anyone? *******Pics included********

The pot is all ready to go.




Ok finally all ready to bench...

I boot it up and everything is working fine and dandy! Time for some overclocking (=

I hop into the bios for the first time and i do some simple stuff just to see how good this is...(remember i only got the board 5 hrs ago )



First attempt is 3.8ghz on almost stock voltages! (CPU temp always stays at 41c in windows when im sub zero.Its actually like -70c)

This is thirsty for more!

A few steps later im at 4.6Ghz still thirsty for more!



About 5 steps later im about to cross the bridge to 5ghz.








That is where it started getting tuff. Every setting in the bios mattered. I continue still.


Finally after many failed attempts i pass 5 Ghz.






I still had some dry ice left so i had to push it further.

Many many many reboots later:





Still had to push it though, its just not fast enough for me.

Finally at 2am (11hrs after i got my board) i managed to figure out the highest voltage my chip would take. So i crank it up to that and raise the NB voltage alot. (1.87v)


Things got very intense at this point.

after many more attempts i was running low on dice. So i had to work fast.

And then i passed 5.5ghz at 2:30am....

I was so happy. Next round ill get a different mobo, some ln2 and a ln2 pot for my nb. Ill see how far that takes me. I hope 5.9ghz isnt asking to much.


I had alot of fun tonight with this board. I hope i can get a better one soon so i can clock this little devil even higher.


The features like the "lcd poster" really help when overclocking this board. They will help you get that last little bit of speed out of it once you in windows.

Awesome dude! you truly are the king of overclocking lol, you need to add that to you're sig. now if I could just get my i7 stable hmmmm..

haha, I cant sleep BTW does that blue stuff stick to you're motherboard like playto or something? oh yea, im testing my i7 at 4 GHz *holds breath* all going well ATM load 73c max

You never can be to careful imo

Yeah... especially when i just got the board a couple hours before. LOL!

well it really looks like you know what you are doing! I would say that if you really want to get to 5.9 then its something that is possible for you! i just started to overclock a few weeks ago and I already have an hero =)

Wow one more OVERSHOCKED'S overclocking cool....

But I have one major complaint
Those images are pretty big...Could you please resize it little smaller...It takes a while to load too...
Your last post of that Dry ice exp crashed my browser

That's fantastic. Nice work. Simply amazing.

do you think it would have helped at all if you had put tiny pieces of dry ice in the motherboard water block?

Very nice Job dude..... dont fry that mobo!!!!!!!!!

Are you gettin more dice today?

Heh, I see you got some G.Skill Sticks for that bench......

That's just you hitting refresh alot lol

Im not getting more dice because i think i was pretty close to my limit with dice.

I need to get some ln2. And the ln2 pot for my NB.

So basically you are saying this board is better than the Rampage on Ln2???

WoW.... that is kinda embarassing for ASUS......

Not taking anything away from Biostar but the Rampage is supposed to be a "Tier 1" mobo.........

Anyways when do we get to see the T-Power push 6Ghz?

I hope that will happen real soon. Just gotta get one of the mobo's and a 160l tanks of liquid nitrogen then were in buisness (=

Wow man, congratulations, good stuff, really good stuff. I can't wait to see what you do with ln2.

I have to also comment.... just by looks i wouldn't think the biostar could keep up with that Asus mobo but oh well =P

That asus mobo has got to be one of the prettiest computer components i have ever seen.

Yeah it really is a nice board.

The biostar one should be able to take it down though. Looks can be decieving (=

ok so inform us as to why will take the rampage down

well for one i hope it lets me get over 1.875v

And i think its in windows program is pretty badass.
Supposedly its able to get record fsb rates as well. Like 700+

Yeah man....everything ive done to that board and switching the ram is what killed it....*sigh*

Sweet! Is that pot by Kingpin or someone else?

overshocked, You....are...my...hero!!!!!!

That was absolutely AMAZING!!! Thumbs up, clap clap!

What is the record overclock on that CPU? I think you can break it!!!

What am I comparing? I only reached 4Ghz on that unlocked phenom....

You need to come over here and help me get that 550 overclock higher...lol

Now I need to try something like dice or ln2....lol

Duh! I didnt even think of closing explorer this time!

Safe mode is for my next round of dice or with ln2.

That'd be sweet, i wish you luck

Getting it that high i would imagine it partly depends on the CPU itself, since some CPU's of the same series/brand/speed can OC better or worse than others in the same batch.
