Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[phsinc1]

my current settings, Uncore 17x / memory 8x / vcore 1.23v / qpi/vtt 1.335 / memory 1.62v / HT ON / turbo boost disabled .... all other settings set to auto:



coretemp 75/75/70/70, any comments?

is that a normal behavior? only happen after shutdown and power on

when I power on my PC, I could hear like 3 resets happen (the blue led behind the ram which show your OC level turn off and on like 3 times) it doesn't shutdown and power on again, it just doing like 3 reset in the row without any shutdown, I entered the bios after, but it doesn't say anything about reverting from bad OC, and every stress test passed fine.

Can someone help me on my OC im using bios F7c and i got it up to 3800 i have a C0 920, i would appreciate some help thank you.

This is normal behavior for this board.

I see your QPI/VTT is set to Auto, check with ET6 the correct value

I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly.

But this is what I looked at (??) Easy Tune 6 Clicked Advanced under the Tuner option, then Voltage 1.

Then looked up QPI/Vtt Voltage. Under 'Power On' it shows 1.53500V

Is this the value I was looking for or am I way out?

That's too much, try to manually set it to 1.335v or 1.355v

here is my settings for 3.82GHz

Anybody?

Hello, having problems with my OC....

The below is 'stable' (9hrs prime), but im not happy with the voltages especially considering this is also a D0, and of course if i could go faster, obv a bonus, any things to try?

But when raise the multi to the dizzy heights of 15 (3GHz) it will just lock up, ive tried uping each voltage one by one but it still lock in the first 17s of LinX.

????????

Your UNCORE frequency should be double your RAM speed (3200 whereas your is 3400), this might be a problem !?

[bartman1973]

any chance of speeding up the boot up time on jmicron raid for the ex58 extreme? i was able to borrow my old msi eclipse and did try to setup the HW raid on both eclipse and extreme and i clocked that the eclipse is around 3-5 secs faster than the extreme Also I attached the silent pipe and my IOH cooling is pretty good but i am not happy with the build in sound of the giga board so i am planning to buy xfi platinum pcie. I can put that in the last x16 slot ( configure as x8 ) right ? or is there another driver aside from realtek ( of there are any 3rd party driver that works with vista 64 please ) that can improve the sound quality of this board ( well to save some cost on my part ).


my setup
ex58 extreme - f8b
i7 920 cooled by hr01+
g skill 3 x 2 gig ddr3 1600 8-8-8-21 1.6v
MSI gtx275
2 x 74gb WD raptor 10k rpm 16mb cache -- raid 0 via HW raid
1 tb + 640 gb WD black for data and games

What bios settings do you want exactly?

Thanks for your response

anyone know what "Round Trip Latency" exactly do?

mine are Auto set to /55/57/60

Can I tweak them?

try to change "CPU Clock Skew" 900mV and "PCI Express Clock Skew" to 800mV, you can find them in advanced voltage control

[sunn]

I went with the rule that its double or double +1, but no difference, still locks

With a jump of vcore and vtt i could do 3GHz surly i cant have the worst D0?

[boldenc]

guys, running a D0 @ 4GHz with 1.28v is considered good?

[MonsterDK]

try to change "CPU Clock Skew" 900mV and "PCI Express Clock Skew" to 800mV, you can find them in advanced voltage control

Thanks for your reply,,,, but hmm,

I can't find them at all in the Advanced Voltage Control.
In advanced Clock Control I have...
CPU Clock Drive 900mV
PCI Express Clock Drive: 900mV
CPU Clock Skew: 0ps (nothing as mV)
IOH Clock Skew: 0ps (nothing as mV)

Yes, it is the "CPU Clock Drive" . "PCI Express Clock Drive", are yours defaulted to 900mV? mine was 800mV

Updated version:

EasyTune 6 B09.0421.1

boldenc,

Round Trip Latency.
Number of Uncore clocks that are inserted for Read data after
a Read Cas# is send to a DIMM.

Lower is better, and you may freely tweak it.

The worst C0 too.

Any word on how to get that modded BIOS F8x flashed?

[Jonny Manc]

Is it just me or is ET6 a no-no on Windows 7!?
It installs ok, and the GUI process is running but I see nothing after clicking.

Tried a variety of compatability options and still nothing.......HELP!!

Exactly the same thing here Jonny.. tried to fix it without luck so far.
