Thanks for the replies on this, I did not solve the problem in the end but have kind of given up now! Faugusztin - On the page where the multipliers are, the turbo is locked as the same as the non-turbo multi. I have made sure turbo mode is enabled on the subpage but still no joy. Perhaps...

Interesting that you believe overclocking will void the warranty Showboat. I was told by Faugusztin in another thread that OCing doesn't void the warranty except if you burn the CPU. Would like to know the definitive answer on this (if there is one!) as I bought an i5 and planned not to...

Hi guys, need a bit of help please and thought this was the most appropriate section to come to. I have just built a new system, the main components of which are i5 750, Gigabyte P55-UD3, and G-Skill 4gb 1600mhz 7-7-7-24 RAM. It's the BIOS I'm struggling with...it defaults the RAM to 1333mhz...

The XMP profile seemed to work and did what you said it would. The only thing is the CPU turbo frequency & ratio is now coming up as the same as the non-turbo settings (ie both at x16) and I cant find anywhere to alter it...

ok I understand that the memory needs overclocking but why aren't the timings defaulting to 7-7-7-24? Or will it only do that when I've overclocked to 1600mhz? Re the CPU, I dont really want to void the warranty. Am I ok as long as I dont go over the stock speed? ie. 160mhz x 16 = 2560 Thanks

Just finished my 1st ever PC build and it works! :cool: I've got an i5 750 with Gigabyte UD3 and G-Skill 1600mhz 7-7-7-24 RAM. I haven't installed an operating system yet but something I've noticed in the BIOS is that the RAM only seems to be operating at only 1333mhz and 9-9-9-24 timings...

Quick update... ended up ordering late last night and went for the Be Quiet straight power 650w + Coolermaster Elite 335. zsolmanz - thanks for your time in looking into the coolers for me, I actually went for a retail version of the i5 from a competitor as I don't plan to overclock for quite a...

Sorry to bump but I was hoping to order tonight and really need some last minute advice. Thanks

Yes I am on a bit of a budget but then again the PSU should last a fair while so don't mind spending extra. Anyone able to recommend a HSF for the i5 as I really have no idea on this area... Also is the Antec 300 case regarded any more highly than the Coolermaster Elite? Thanks

Would you good people kindly check this for me please ;) i5 750 OEM Gigabyte P55-UD3 G Skill Ripjaw 1600mhz DDR3 8-8-8-24 HD 4850 Samsung F3 1TB HDD Coolermaster 335 + 460w PSU Is that PSU wattage enough? might add a 2nd GPU at some point and will be running a 2nd HDD. Also if I am...

Right peeps, so far I've decided on: i5 750 Gigabyte P55-UD3 G Skill Ripjaw 1600mhz DDR3 8-8-8-24 HD 4850 Samsung F3 1TB HDD Antec 300 (may change to Coolermaster 335) now for the PSU... how much wattage do I need? Will be running a 2nd HDD and possibly a 2nd GPU in future

Thanks for the replies so far. The following article suggests that the Realtek audio codec in the Gigabyte boards is better than the Via codec in the Asus which makes a difference for me. Does anyone know anything about the Gigabyte US3L? Is the UD3 better?

Hi guys, really struggling choosing a motherboard for my new i5 build. I want to spend as little as possible really but would also like to do some overclocking at some point in the future (nothing extreme) so if that means I need to spend some extra cash then so be it. I quite like the look of...
