7GHz Ivy Bridge on GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H!

HiCookie put up a couple of killer overclocks online last night with the GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H and Z77X-UD5H. First one was the first validated 7GHz score with Ivy Bridge on HWBOT. The 7GHz run was done with the Z77X-UD3H, Corsair Dominator GT and Kingpin’s new Gemini pot from what I can see in the video.

He put up a HD video on youtube during the runs as well for those doubting Thomases.

HiCookie also put up a moster RAM frequency overclock with 4 sticks populated (16GB RAM) at a ridiculous 1639.7MHz using GSkill’s Trident X sticks and Z77X-UD5H.

He even shows where all the I/O connectivity comes from, i.e. the chipset or a 3rd party chip.
