But does it boot at 2400mhz Gaul ? Don't think so... so that ram divider is useless for normal SB...
i'm sure it is, but did u'r DDR can touch 1200 mhz ?Quote:

2 questions :
1) I wanna see a video now where your rig boots with the 2400mhz divider...
2) why do you start talking about 1200mhz ?
We bench at 2250mhz CL7-8-7, wtf is 1200Mhz CL7 ?
LOL i'd love to see you get that divider working with your setup ;)
Asus removed 2400 divider in latest BIOS's for all boards.

i think my Gskill F3-12800CL9D-4GBECO can't touch 2400
so i can't try div 2400
it worked with some early ES samples mate, doesn't work with current retails... it just doesn't post... We've got rams that could handle them frequencies ( with loose timings) it just doesn't post...
So I tried the bios today, multi step is there.. which level is probably the best to use?
I just need 1.380V at max load and no less than 1.000v at idle.. level4? or just turn off multi step and enabled standard LLC?
F6h is out.
link & what's new stasio...thanks
In my sig.
tryed
ok back to llc disabled and enabled.
more stable and great performance.
no levels or what ???
sorry can't post anything coz had ASUS board now
^^ then stay off this thread.
Definitely one of the most worthless comments in this thread...awesome job!Quote:

Question for you guys. I have the UD5 board but that thread has been stone cold dead for a while so I will ask here. I used to run 5.0 rock stable with my old NON B3 board. Once I received my B3 board I could no longer get 5.0 stable. Anybody else run into this issue or is my 2600K degrading?
Also what is with everybody switching to the Z68 boards? From my understanding the only thing over the P67 it offers is the use of the on chip gpu to do either video out or rendering. So I cant figure out what I am missing out on by not getting a Z68 board? Must be some reason everybody is switching to the Z68?
F6i is out.

F5 officialy supports 22nm ivy bridge
F6i is special Beta BIOS for GB Germany,they adjust some voltages,as per they request.
F6F the american overclocker standar ...why more?
F6 is out.
What are the improvements of this bios compared with f5? this one has more than LLC enable/disable?Quote:

i made some testing yesterday with llc levels till lvl 7
here are the results
Frequency 4.5ghz
Vcore: 1.35v
llc enable idle 1.344 load 1.332
llc 1 idle 1.332. load 1.296
llc 2 idle 1.332 load 1.308

llc 5 idle 1.392 load 1.416
llc 6 idle 1.404 load 1.440
llc 7 idle 1.416 load 1.460
for me the best one was the lvl 3 cuz there is no overvolting and load the vdroop is less than the other options
best regards
Wow. I have been having trouble with this board ever since it came out with the original BIOS, and the best I could do was 4.2-4.3ghz 1.4v and underclock my 1600 RAM to 1333, and back off the timings a bit. With the official F6 I can run 4.5ghz @ 1.325v and RAM at 1600 with the correct timings. Very nice!
I have Z68XP-UD4(bios F5) and it runs great. There is only one problem.
I have Patriot Viper Xtreme Division 2 (2x4GB) 1600 8-9-8-24 .
I'm unable to get them stable at 2133NHz. The best i can get is the 1866MHz 9-10-9-24-1T at 1.48V
I dont understand why ASROCK Z68 extreme 4 I used to have worked perfectly at 9-11-11-24-2T and 1.65 volts with this ram.
F6 bios i got bsod alltime ingame and sometimes even idle. Last bios f3b settings same i even rised vcore 1,33 to 1,36v still bsod...:mad:
F6 is very stable for me, probably the best BIOS I have tried for this board. I don't use the multi-step LLC because I use DVID offset, but it works great and has my chip running 4.8GHz at 1.375v.
i am getting bsod with f6 with LAN reletaed stuff like configuring network or something similiar :S
Does the 1Amp USB charging only work on apple devices? I have a Galaxy Note which can charge upto 1Amp and connecting it to the ON/OFF usb port ( which is also the 1Amp USB charging port ) does not charge as fast as the original charge. Any insights to this ?
i made a discovery!!!
the message "do you want enhance cpu performance?" when is loaded the XMP profile, means the possibility to OVERCLOCK the L3 cache!!!!!
those who want to try, just reset the bios every time you answer the question of the performance enchance.
try aida64 memory test.
well ever i ask me what can be better with this setting...and ever say yes andrea thanks 4 the tip explanation.
Can anyone rephrase this ?Quote:

the only way to repeat the choise is to reset to defaul the bios and reload the xmp profile.
it do not have any inherence whith memory performance, but increase the clock of l3 cache.
http://www.pctunerup.com/up//results...10.7.28.1T.png
when you put on it increases the bandwidth of the L3
everybody with aida64 can easily try
bye!!!!
Andrea: have you actually *TRIED* what I said yet ? Please try it before saying it does nothing :) There is no evidence that setting "performance mode" to extreme is related to memory instead of L3, and I can't really be bothered testing that right now...
Aside from benchmarks is there really a huge impact on this?

hi guys, i just bought a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4 B3 revision 1.1 board and had couple questions. what is the improvement over the 1.0 board and does this board have the boot problems i read about through this thread. i tried reading the whole thread for the answer but did not see it. sorry if missed it :) i am going to use gskill ripjaws and a 2600K on it which are on the approved list for it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...37&SID=rewrite will i see any issues using them? i plan on a modest overclock to about 4.2 or so, nothing extreme for me. thanx for any replies
I have a set of GSkill Ripjaws 6-8-6-24 DDR3 1600 sticks that worked great with my UD4-B3 at stock speeds, but at 1866 or 2133 the system would fail to boot 75% of the time and required every sub-timing to be set quite loose. The sticks are capable of running at 2133 and have done so in every other P67 board I've used without problems. YMMV, but those are my results.
You shouldn't have any problems reach 4.2GHz or so with low voltage. I would even say that 4.5GHz should be quite easy to attain. The UD4 overclocks well in the mid ranges but doesn't seem to have the muscle to really find a chip's limits.
Can anyone tell me the mechanics for this 1Amp charging on the USB port? I cant seem to get it to work..
Thanks for this, I've been trying to jumpto 4.8-5.0 GHz for a few days now and this should help alot. I only need 1.260 load for 4.5 GHz stable, but a pretty big vcore jump to get 4.8, like around 1.344 load.Quote:

What will the best BIOS be for this UD4 be?
and were to download it? :-)
Best regards.
for me F6 beta was best bios and best results in overclocking

Anyone here running their OC with C-States and EIST enabled so that voltages/multi drop on idle? If so, did you have to step up vcore just a notch or two to keep stable with the same OC with them disabled?
I run with both of those enabled and it does seem like I have to run at a higher voltage than normal to remain stable. I have never tried testing stability with those turned off.
I am currently running 4.7ghz @ 1.36v
Ok, thanks. At least I know it is possible, which I thought anyways since I think stasio does it. I think the ticket might be 1.332v BIOS with LLC 4 which should give me 1.344v idle and 1.356 load.
Need a little help.
Today I turned on my computer with the GA-P67A-UD4-B3 board and it would just restart over and over again, so I took out one stick of ram and it booted up but I can't get dual channel. I've had this board for a couple of weeks and it was running fine. Seem's that if you put a stick of ram in the fourth slot now it will not boot but just restarts over and over again. Computer boots if I have ram in slots 1 and 2 but that's single channel mode. I'm testing the two sticks of CORSAIR Vengeance 2x2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 but so far no errors.
Big question, did the fourth slot just up and die?
So 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 don't work/boot?
You can use any combination with slot 1 and 2 and she boots. Any combination involving slot 3 and 4 and she just turns on and off continually.
This morning I changed the TIM on my HSF and after that this problem arises. When I went to bed last night she was ok.
Try removing and reinserting the CPU?
I will give it a try now. Let you know in awhile if it helped.
While you're in there may also want to check to make sure no debris got down in your RAM slots blocking a connection to one of the pins. Never know.
Also, I think using slots 2/4 are the preference for only 2 sticks...Falkentyne would know better on that one.
It's still going into the repeating on and off if you put a ram stick in either slot 3 or 4. I reseated the cpu and used compressed air in the ram slots.
I'm starting to think it might be RMA time which really doesn't sound good to me cause of the long wait to get the new board.
I am thinking about installing Windows 8 when the beta comes out next month. Does anyone here have experience with this motherboard using Windows 8?
run fine very well and fast with windows 8....but i don't like windows 8 i don't like a cell phone OS in my rig but that's my problem

Latest beta BIOS is suggested for all P67/Z68 users because those updates address boot loop issues at startup via updating the Intel ME firmware (I always thought this was an Intel issue, not Gigabyte)
So anyone reading this, please pass it along to all P67/Z68 users

Anybody try this out yet?
thanks man, trying right now i never like F6 biosQuote:

Here's how to update the backup BIOS, thanks Dino, I link this at least 4-5 times a week!Quote:

I might try these out over the weekend. Once I upgraded to F6 final, all of the problems I was experiencing overclocking have disappeared, so I may just stay where I am. I have never experienced a cold booting issue with any BIOS version for whatever reason.
Well since you are not having any issues then it's up to you if you want to update, I'd suggest it personally just for the other fixes or improvements that may be included, but it's up to you.
Keep in mind you can always roll back to older BIOSes if you don't like the new ones!
Do you think we will ever get the fancy efi bios interface for the ud4?
I haven't heard, but I haven't asked for a while either :)
Probably not though, as they'll want to hold off for the main segment of users to jump on board with Z77 and that will be a selling point. Plus they already put all that work and effort into touch BIOS, so I kinda doubt it.
i see, didnt know about the touch bios, just tried it, but a lot of the settings are greyed out, like overclock,do you have to use the latest bios for it? think im on f6a
Advanced cpu features?? blank

Nice to see you got it!
I didn't know you could even use that on P67 yet, without special BIOS mod or flashing to a Z68 BIOS, but I've been gone for a while so they might have updated P67 compatibility while I was away.
Very odd, first time i flashed the bios it worked , and i could change the multiplyer etc, rebooted a few times and no option there.

Does it say for P67 where you downloaded it, or is it listed on the downloads for your board? If not, then it's still as it was, for Z68 only.
it was in the utility bit for my board, said p67

They were upto date. installed them again and re booted, still same, is it meant to work on the ud4 p67a?

Not sure why it would be working for you one second and not the next? Are you using the latest Intel MEI firmware update, if not here ya go
Intel® Management Engine Interface(MEI) Driver 8.0.0.1351
http://www.mediafire.com/?o360d2w7ax1m1q8
Maybe its something to do with enabling the real time changes option in BIOSQuote:

stasio didnt post F7b bios so i will, this weekend i had little air session with new bios and performace and stability is really good.
BIOS F7b
Thanks,
as XS forum has been down,btw anytime can check on TT forum.
For anyone with startup boot loop or other issues, here's another official update guys. I sent in a report on a few users still seeming to have these issues over the past two weeks, so here is there testing results and full reply.
Please pass this info along to your fellow Gigabyte users, thanks!
So be careful with that reset button and it should also work properly now too! But I still say avoid if/when possible :DQuote:
Test 3 models of Z68 boards with the following BIOS:
1.) Z68X-UD7 with BIOS F10
2.) Z68XP-UD3 with BIOS F9g
3.) Z68AP-DS3 with BIOS FB
Our test results:
1.) Press CTRL + ALT + DEL keys when during boot up or in DOS mode >> Cannot see “continuous reboot loop”, nor “Waiting for ME ready”, nor “system overclocking failure” message. The system just reboot fine.
2.) Press the Reset button
A.) Press the button quickly and release immediately >> Cannot see any issue.
B.) Press the reset button for one second or so (This is not normal behavior.) >> System will shut down, and then power on by itself. Then the “Waiting for ME ready” message appears and then system will shut down and power on by itself again. Sometimes, it will show “System overclock failure” message.
Moreover…
According our testing before,
the issue of “continuous reboot loop” can be fixed by flashing the Backup BIOS with the same version as the main BIOS (latest one).
We Flash the Backup BIOS with the same BIOS version for the main BIOS version before test.
And always keep backup BIOS up to date matching with the main BIOS.
where is the reset button? :P
I'm not sure man? :D
There isn't any over here, only a large pair of scissors to start the boards with or short CMOS's :)
screwdriver also works or a fork lol. the new mobos will have a reset button which is good for us
Looks like the beta BIOS has been taken off of Gigabytes website. Wonder why?
EDIT: To upload the final F7 BIOS apparently. :D
