From The MOST in Depth Preview/Review P67A-UD7

Quote:

---

Some highlights include the VRM/PMW design (power delivery), and I go very in depth about the advantages and disadvantages of Analogue VS Digital VRM design. BIOS section including brand new BIOS settings including wattage and amperage to the implementation of EFI BIOS in the future. The USB 3.0 sub-system on this board is phenomenal tree type system along with SATA6G connectivity this board can power all of your devices to their fullest extent, and when you have all the SATA and USB ports filled you can enable USB 3.0 Turbo Mode to add speed and bandwidth. I take apart of the cooling on this board and put it to the test to find out how well it transfers and dissipates heat in the motherboard cooling section. I then take a look at both PCI-E busses in the NF200 and PCH P67 section, and analyze the benefits.

Awesome thank you! and thank you respective XS member! lol.

When will this board be available? Im tired of the wait for sb.

I'm surprised this is getting EFI is this confirmed??

On the P55 you could set the power (wattage) and current (amperage) limits through software but for the UD6 at least this wasn't really necessary as Gig set the current reported to the CPU through hardware mod to somewhere around a fixed ~24A IIRC. This meant even if your OC'd board was pulling over 100A the CPU would still think it was only using 24A and under the TDC therefore not throttle. Also because the current measurement is part of the power measurement the TDP limit would not be tripped either.

So I guess now with the newer boards you now will have to set these limits to take advantage of TDP and TDC limiting, especially on the unlocked k series CPUs which use turbo bins as the unlocked multiplier.

TDP = Thermal Design Power
TDC = Thermal Design Current

Subscribed.... board looks awesome.

Do you know the expected official release date for the new Giga lineup?

I'm in the UK & things always take a couple weeks longer to get here so was wondering if there was an official launch date (with UK stock) or somewhere in Europe that already has them I could order it from.

Thanks.

I was looking over the manual today and it did have that error, i was thinking, DIMM 1+2???? and then it says DIMM 1+3 for dual channel. Well it is pre release so that is good at least.

I am sorry again, what are you talking about? you cannot set wattage or amperage you can only read them off HWmon or DES for P55 boards, what software lets you set those limits???

I get the second part it these systems are so that you can extend TDP and TDC. Sandybridge has the ability to go above its rated TDP for a small window of time(like 30 seconds), and motherboard manufacturers must have extended this window so that you are able to set upper limits so you can OC further, I wonder what the limits are.

I can buy the board but cant buy the 2600k? hmm

Well january 6th is intel;s official release date for CPU and NDA on the boards is still going, I am very surprised you can buy the board.

Provantage had the UD7 listed for ~$339 which is meh. $390 is way way way too much and will be a major fail like UD9. I really want UD7 though and may still get it. :)


Stasio please give us some info on the new gamer series gigabyte is gonna be launching. ;)

RealTemp 3.60 and ThrottleStop let you adjust the turbo TDP/TDC limits on the Intel processors that are unlocked like the Extreme and K series. Both programs are available here on XS.

This feature has made a huge difference to the performance of the 920XM and 940XM mobile CPUs. Increasing these limits results in more turbo boost when fully loaded with less turbo throttling. Intel has made some changes to Sandy Bridge but being able to adjust turbo TDP/TDC might become a very useful feature on the new Sandy Bridge K series CPUs.

Yea ok I didn't know that I knew realtemp could change multi and has some other programs with the download package, i really like your program, thanks for the great piece of software and for the info.

I got dispatch confirmation from Germany this morning for the board & have just ordered an i5 2500k from a reputable UK online retailer I have used in the past!!

Might just get it running before xmas....

.

I plan to upgrade my Rig to a SB 2600k just need to know what board to get
I checked with swifittech for my GTZ the i7 adapter plate will work for the SB, I already ordered it from ebay
Swiftech GTZ-UHD-1156-BP Socket LGA1156 Upgrade kit will work with the SB.

I plan to watercool and see how far I can go with the 2600k on water. Whats a good board? think I can hit 4.5ghz? 24/7?

going water or l2n isnt really gonna improve your clocks ,not like i7's.. Im sure it will help temps though!! Im sure you can hit 4.5ghz easily even 5ghz depending if you grab a good chip..

I got this info from GBTaiwan,some of these new BIOS updates may not be able to flash from BIOS itself.
Please use new released version @BIOS 2.10:
http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Utili..._gbt_atbios.exe
Hope,they will fix this soon. :D
Btw,
P67 and H67 boards listed on the Gigabyte website.

Thanks again stasio! i am surprised they posted them now, they are the first ahead of ASUS and EVGA

@BIOS will not work with windows 7 ... need windows XP to flash the bios if you are using the beta ones...but official BIOS are being recognzed by Qflash ...updated my ud7 to F4 and seems ok ... have tried the 2600K that I borrowed and 4.8Ghz is doable on air... seems like the processor is the one thats holding back since i tried it on ud7, ud5 and gd55 and all are getting 4.8xxGhz only... F4 bios is better than f3 since f3 is displaying weird voltages in ET6.

i can't wait for their official sell date

@BIOS works fine in windows 7 for me.... OHHH I see what you are saying. yea Windows Xp it is then just for flash then back to windows 7.

Bo*lox, just opened the box & they sent me a UD5!!! Looks like I'll be joining/making the UD5 thread.

.

Hey all,

Just looking on ram recommendations for this board. Will be going for ~4.5ghz from a 2600k (/w Venomous X). So far I think the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB 2X4GB (~$150CAD) would be the best fit. I could go Dominators (CMT8GX3M4A1866C9 - ~$250) but their ROI seems somewhat low. Thoughts and advice much appreciated. Will also be throwing in 2x6970s and 850W Corsair AX (and whats required from sig below).

Have a look at G.Skill and Mushkin offers.

Waiting to buy a 2500k or 2600k with a good board and ram. What is everyone else going with?

Looking to do 4.5 to 5ghz on water 24/7

:D
GA-P67A-UD7 - F5n

my gskill 2133Mhz perfect storm working perfectly.... XMP being detected properly... been playing with a 2600K stable at 4.7 ghz with venomous x and temps around 70's-75's when running IBT's :D but have not optimized the voltages yet ... vcore @ 1.4V ... if I go beyond 4.7 ghz, then vcore needs to be bumped to 1.45v ... and btw i am only using one fan on the VEX :) a delta 0.8A fan

Enough talking more screenshots :) , this is the p67 official thread anyways.. Can you post up some memory everest benches along with some PI Scores? ;)

- lemme check what the NDA says .... i dont want to be penalize hehehe or maybe just blurred the procs and stuff in the screenshots ...LOL

Are we allowed to talk about OCing because that woudl be awesome. I think you can take Vcore to 1.54 max, as i saw somewhere. Also I do not think temperature has much effect on OCing, do you see the same thing?

"The four DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel 0: DDR3_1, DDR3_3
Channel 1: DDR3_2, DDR3_4"

---

So whats optimal for dual channel memory? Channel 0 or Channel 1?

OCM :up:

Channel 0 most likley. IDK

BTW if you are having problems with @BIOS, download the version off their website!!! it works with x64 windows 7.

Can you fit slot 1 and 2 when using big air coolers?

OK inna nutshell.... besides the Gigabyte offereing , taking that out of the equation...what does SB really deliver in terms of performance gains with gaming..

is it in competition with the x58 platform enough to reconsider changeing over?? ( obviously we are seeing some pretty impressive resluts with the OC) but in the end..does it give x58 or surpass x58 in overall performance.

there seems to be so much hype for and against from review sights to forums... even to the point im seeing the 980x being closed in on at stock settings...

Please someone, shed some light on the subject, and help a confused old soul LOL

Please someone answer flashnc question, that is just what most of us want to know.
I guess that if you are running multi gpus x58 is better, but really don't know. If I already had an x58 I wouldn't be thinking on changing till 2011 socket. I'm planning on building a new rig, i thought on a i7 950, asus sabertooth and 6gb of 1600mhz ddr3 ram, but now, seeing what SB can do it's hard to decide... well at least in two weeks we will know everything about them.
Regards

Sorry, have you run as Administrator with @BIOS?

Do you guys think we will see a full cover water block for this board? It looks like one of their prototypes actually had a water block. I've heard those NF200 chips can get pretty hot.

any news about clear c-mos?

how i can made it without open case?

Without opening case? you can always use a soldering iron. J/K I find that if it is unstable it will revert back to stock, after a few reboots. Yes Use the @BIOS on main website it works fine with windows 7 X64.

What does this platform offer?
Other than native SATA6G and tons of USb3.0, as well as a processor that OCes very good on air and water, and a nice IMC, just really great performance.

I have had no trouble with NF200 getting hot, I doubt that is what you are going to be worrying about getting hot. Only a few phases need to be used for the processor so i am guessing most of the heat is going to be pulled away through heatpipes from the NF200 heatsink. With a 220GT my system pulls less than an i7900 series TDP at max oc from the socket. Imagine that.

I am quite sure I'll be buying this board and a 2600K, however, I'm unsure what RAM to get. I'm looking at this Corsair 2x2gb DDR 2000mhz kit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145317

What I don't understand is how the RAM speeds fit with the unlocked multiplier and how this plays out.

Is it worth getting the 2000mhz kit over a 1600mhz kit? Or should I get a 8gb kit (2x4gb)?

I'd buy a 1600kit. 6gb or 8gb depending on what you use, Either way seems like Sandybridge memory benches absoulately kick butt!!

I was just asking me the same.

hey F6A has been up for a while, but F5 is more solid and just was released yesterday if anyone wants to know.

Thoughts on ram anyone? Aiming for 4-4.5Ghz 24/7

$163 - F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH - 7-8-7-24
$158 - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 - 8-8-8-24
$163 - CMP8GX3M2A1600C9 - 9-9-9-24

Leaning towards the GSkill at this point only because of the timings.

Prices are in $CAD

I woudl go g.skill. Timings make a nice difference on these systems plus alows you to push 1866.

G skills cas7, im sure those corsair's could get clocked lower then those default timings though.. Cant go wrong tho 7gb for 163 @ cas 7 :up:

Go with G.Skill, they have great bang/buck offers! :up:

Thanks guys ... will go for F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH

@sin0822, This board was my first pic for P67, but looking at the layout, the top pcie x1 slot is useless for my sound card. If I use the bottom pcie slot for the sound card, and run sli/cf, both gpu's wont run at x16, or am I wrong on this? I like the new look and have always been happy with gigabyte boards. But to go along with the new look, a new/better layout would have been nice.

yes crossfire and pci express sound card are a problem, wish they would sort the spacing out !

Do motherboards have to have anything special about them to boot from the pci-e slot? Will these and other P67 boards boot off a pci-e ssd?

Absoulately fine, Please dont get a PCIE ssd :D

I wish nah my cousin is also doing an upgrade as well mid feb and is set on pci-e ssd. I would be lucky to squeeze a 64gb 2.5 ssd out of my budget let alone a $1000+ pci-e monster:ROTF:

lol true, When the g3 eventually comes out im sure prices will drop, I've seen quite a few 2nd hand ssds selling on several forums :) .. G3 + SB wonder how it will scale :D

Well, I'm quite happy with what UPS unexpectedly dropped off today...

http://www.images.atragon.org/main.p...&g2_itemId=949

A box.



http://www.images.atragon.org/main.p...&g2_itemId=944
With awesome inside. :D

This will go nicely with the 2600K I managed to pick up on Boxing Day as mentioned here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=61

Now I just need to pick up my case from FedEx, order the watercooling gear for it, and I'll have a kickass system.

In the meantime, I suppose I could throw it all into a Sonata III I have lying around and take it for a spin.

:rofl: You wish. :D

I'm going to be sticking it in a Sonata III that I had lying around for now while I mod the 700D that it's going to live in.

My board is on the way both it for $320 CAD. Just waiting for 2600K to be released anyone knows the place where I can buy it now?

I got my CPU from Canada Computers, they seem to have realized that they shouldn't have been selling them this early though.

The board I got from NCIX.

How much did u pay for the CPU?

Anyone try latest BIOS F6x ?

Quote:

---

Here is a new bios that implements a hidden option that only intel boards had for better OC with inclusion of Internal PLL Voltage override, when enabled will OC past 48x multi limitation on many chips.

---

dang f6x is not working properly for me :( can get pass the 48 multi still while the ud5 f5x bios rocks big time ... i can get 52 multi and pretty easy to OC as well ...spent the last 6 hours already with the f6x and still stuck with 4.8xGhz ... I need a new BIOS ...LOL

ignore my post above ...reflashed the BIOS and it worked ! now benching at 5.1 again :) hmmm dont what happened ...but anyway I am pretty happy that both ud5 and Ud7 are rocking bigtime :)

That's awesome. If you don't mind me asking, do you achieve 51 multi through the turbo multiplier or turbo is off and its 100% of the time at 5 Ghz ?

I have actually done this :)

49 multi and 105 bclk - benchmarks
52 boot + 102 bclck - cpuz ( still working on improving this )

pll - 1.76
vtt - 1.08
vcore - 1.48

Nice improvement there bartman! :up:

Changelog?

Noticed that F6e lacks the PLL tweak of F6x.

Update - F6e seems to have finally fixed S3 sleep and resume issues on my o'ced test rig seen on earlier BIOS.

Thumbs up for the GA BIOS team!

Yea I used F6X, i only have D1 stepping chips, so when I enabled it I couldn't boot into windows at all :(. BUT it ok.

Thanks for F6E, S3 sleep issue fixed?? what was the issue?

Has anyone passed HyperPi 32M with RAM at DDR3-2133 on ANY of their P67 rigs? Give it a go if you haven't tried. :eek:

Managed to flash the bios to F6x using QFlash. The UD7 board I got came with F6a.

@MacClipper: what make/model of ram are you using? TIA...

Congrats stasio!! I may be joining very soon.

Board came with the F3 BIOS
First boot up was x46 all on auto
Went up to 48 no problem.
@ x49 no boot at all made no difference what voltages or setting.

The F6x BIOS fixed that. Did have to flash the BIOS three times to get it to work.

Have not done any max CPU-z yet that will happen later this week.

Ambient temps 22'c
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B cooler with a single Scythe fan.

The board refused to flash BIOS.
Using the USB Flash, @bios and QFlash.
USB = Disk I/O error
@bios and QFlash = invalid file image

Guys, is there a way to update the backup bios? My board just recovered it self, I dunno why and it flashed back to F3. I had to load @BIOS in Windows then flashed to F6a. Only then I was able to use QFlash in the BIOS.
Thanks in advance....
