Sabertooth Boards are driving people mad eh

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Yep Gary I reckon the makers should use special stick on seals that are tamper proof cos for that sort of money it really pretty ordinary eh?

 

[ICIT2LOL]

I am probably not looking at th right thing but my i5 3750K supposedly is set to 3.4 and turbo 3.8 but Core Temp is telling me it is belting it out at 4.1Ghz.

I did try watching this video on OCing but when I got to the beginners but this bloke reckons that the BIOS just needed setting to whatever and have it enabled so all cores changed at once but it didn't work, and that is when I also noticed the 4.1Ghz.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20rCMNzkwJo at 3.29 minutes he mentions a TPU switch that will auto OC the machine that I have never touched it because I am not that game to do that sort of stuff. So I went on to do that following instructions for the Tweaker part at 6.22 minutes.

All in all I am now lost as to what is happening any ideas please??

Sounds like you used the EZ part of BIOS and clicked the high performance profile. If it's satble, and it should be, it'll be fine. You said your RAM "started" running at 2400.

Oops missed the post there mate well it all seems to be hanging together - I do remember something about the EZ when I first installed the gear - probably got it by luck more than judgment. .

Maybe with his next chip he can push 2 volts

It would die instantly Doug. I will not be going above 1.75v on the new one regardless of what speed that bags me.

Hopefully with the colder weather and the new chip it will do well at that voltage, but forget about 2v lol.

My limit was the voltage I used to get the validation 1.64 that had me almost crappin myself

Well shoot, I thought another Leader Board was coming

I get the feeling the OC's here are extreme for anywhere? I don't go to the OC sites, but assume they aren't regularly pushing out mid 5GHz OCs? Are you all good, or just crazy?

Just got the Sabertooth, looks used, 2 bent dimm slots, every Motherboard I`ve ever bought has a piece of tape used on the anti-static bag, none here. No cellophane wrapping on the box, not sure if it should have that, but right away it through up a red flag. Now I have to ship it back, wait for my refund, then order another one. Maybe I`ll use Newegg this time. Just wish they had one at Micro Center and I would`ve driven out to buy it, could`ve checked it over right there on the spot.

Asus quality control my A@@

It`s so frustrating when you have no control over any of this process.

Where di you buy it? I called Amazon today because I found a bent pin in my Sabertooth, new one will be here tomorrow and they sent a pre=paid label to send the bad one back. Whoever you got it from should do the same for you but may take a phone call. Some shady vendors DO put RMAs back on their shelves for sale even if returned defective.

They aren't wrapped in cellophane though. The ones I've gotten have no tape on the anti-static bag either. I've had about 6 different ones the past few weeks and all shipped like that.

6 different Sabertooths ? I got it from Tigerdirect, 2 bent dimm slots.

I have been crazy I just have people that are willing to hang out with me while I act so

 

[essenbe]

Bill, you aren't the first person to call me crazy. You don't have to be crazy to be my friend, but it helps.

BTW, Bill. I'm on the OCN leaderboard for 5 GHz overclocks. I'm #15, the # 1 is 6868 GHz. We aren't that crazy. Look at the socket 1155 IB board. http://www.overclock.net/t/678487/official-5ghz-overclock-club

Asus more than likely didn't send it out that way..........mine was pristine, and I got it from Newegg.

Also, crazy comes in many flavors. I like to think that while we may not be pushing the envelope with frequencies, we have a more mature pool of people here and do pretty good with what we've got......that's all I'm gonna say lol

No, 2 Sabertooths, I found a bent pin in mine yesterday. the others were different models and chipsets. Pro, Deluxe, WS, etc.

I get confused as you buy so much stuff, so is this another new sabertooth? I thought you had been running one for a couple of weeks and was very happy with it?

Yeah that is true i'm not being reckless looking for the Ultimate chip that is insane

This is a hobby but at the same time very expensive only reason I ever go a little extra is because I could replace it anytime or even switch platforms anytime but being sensible is what I rather be doing then to go full tilt like those OCN guys that is over the top

Are you talking to Gary or me, if me then, I just got it from UPS today, opened the box and saw that 2 of the dimm slots were bent.
It`s packed ready to ship back to TigerDirect, but I may take Tommy`s advice and call Asus and see if they have new (well unused, as they are over a year old now) board in A1 condition and see how long an RMA will take, but if I take that route I`m pretty much screwed and I have to deal with Asus, if I ship it back to Tiger at least I will get my money refunded and I can start over.

Thought so, as we already talked about it LOL

Alas, my new Overclock will have to wait

 

[Britton30]

Paul, this was the Sabertooth I've had for a couple of weeks. I found the bent pin after a sudden BSOD. I am replacing the Z77 and also getting a Z87 version too.

Brian return the crappy one to where you got it and reorder from Amazon.

 

[AddRAM]

Looking into it now Gary.

 

[Britton30]

OK Brian, if you go Amazon be sure it is sold by Amazon, you'll then be under their generous return policy.
