Yep, it fixed Dualcoldboot for me, and random blank screens at reboots etc.. i also applied ALL settings at once for Cl7 and 4,2ghz, booted up fine.
BUT and i mean this is in ALL F7 Bioses, it requires More vcore to be stable.. and not just a notch, more like 0.3+. Dont like it, why does it become like that?
Did you hit it with a DMM to make sure that it's not actually "more" vcore rather than an adjusted value?Quote:

That sounded interesting, and no i do not got any DMM im afraid...Quote:

Hi have a X58 Xtreme F7c
i7 920
1066 trichannel OCZ 6GB
Ati 4870x2
60 Vertex SSD
2x500 Black series WD
625W modu 82 enermax
the 1066 are capable to arribe a 1600hz without more voltage
i like to overclock my sytem to 3,4-3,6ghz and optimal setting form the SSD
thank for your time
here you go, would be nice if you tried one f5 one f6 and f7d? :)Quote:

To be stable with bios F7D it takes 1.34v vs. 1.31v with F5G. could someone confirm if it is adjustment or real volts?

Thanks
Just tried f7d. i7 c0. All power saving off. Big ftt and small ftt give pretty much the same reading +/- .002v LLC on.
212x19 - 4.02ghz
vtt bios - 1.38v
idle -1.375v
load - 1.38v
vcore bios - 1.4v
idle
cpuz - 1.376v
dmm - 1.372v
load
cpuz 1.36v
dmm - 1.364v
vcore bios - 1.375v
idle
cpuz - 1.344v
dmm - 1.345v
load
cpuz 1.344v
dmm - 1.339v
Will try other bios later.
Sweet dude :) now we just need to see the diffrence between that and F5G :) to see as above thread, if its just adjustments or you really have to raise vcore.
thanks for the effort! :)
regards.
Be interesting to see what dmm reads on another bios. On GB P35, with one bios change they did adjust vcore values and confirmed such, but only changed couple notches.
I have not seen any vcore requirements change on Extreme bioses, I tested many (all on same day) a while ago, and just tested 3 bioses again, with same results.
EX58, 21x200, all settings exactly same, except different bioses, testing linpack 4096 mb memory.
vcore bios 1.425
F7C froze 2nd pass,
F5 rebooted before 1st pass
F4j rebooted 2nd pass
vcore bios 1.431
F7C reboot 6th pass
F5 reboot 7th pass
F4j reboot 4th pass
vcore bios 1.437
F7C, F5, F4j all pass 15 runs.
Infa and hlonipha, did you guys go back and recheck your older bios vcore requirements for stability to make sure you still get same, ie test both bioses on/near same day?
Here you go f5g. i7 c0. All power saving off. LLC on.
212x19 - 4.02ghz
vtt bios - 1.38v
idle -1.375v
load - 1.379v
vcore bios - 1.4v
idle
cpuz - 1.376v
dmm - 1.371v
load
cpuz 1.36v
dmm - 1.364v
vcore bios - 1.375v
idle
cpuz - 1.344v
dmm - 1.346v
load
cpuz 1.344v
dmm - 1.338v
lol...it pretty much the same. I wont try other bios because I have the feeling it also the same since f5g to f7d is quite far. So use what best for you.
Here some HT off/on
bios vcore 1.4v
idle - the same - 1.371v
load - dmm
HT off - 1.364v
HT on - 1.360v
:toast2:
Interesting though, looks like mobo does a good job with voltages and sensors.
Well on the same day I had 4.3ghz ht on 4hrs prime 1.31v F5G bios.Quote:

f7d is garbage....need pretty high vcore without gain.
use f6d. Normal vcore like f5g , S3 working , quick ram timing but still old AHCI rom.
Will try that too, but if any problems occur, F7d will be back :)
and thanks all for the DMM readouts :) allways appreciated!
Ok now i had it with this board!! To much :banana::banana::banana::banana: and problems all the time...
recently i got this USB error thing, it will boot up allright and stuff, but first when windows loads MBR, and logo shows up, USB shuts off and then to be initiated with windows drivers, as in any windows. then it sometimes even wont initiate it, and sometimes it does, but it still just stay there and do not load windows...
I tried to raise voltages concerning this, also turning integrated things OFF, sometimes it works turning etc the other SATA controller off, but then it works, and then i have to reboot somtime, then it is the same again, then i turn LAN 1 and 2 off, then it works, and then it dont, then activating SATA controller again, makes it work, and yes my enthernet is broken since a while back just like that it dont work, so i got a pci card, and then ofc it works, and the USB thing STILL dont work whatever i do, tried many bioses, and now this last time i turned azalia off, and now it worked again, WTF is this? I've had it... to much small things.. to much BIOSes to fix what should have been fixed months ago.
last time Gigabyte, next time NOT.
just wondering, does the f7d have an updated ahci rom ?Quote:

My config:
i7 920 D0 @ 4,2 Ghz stable BIOS F7D
Gigabyte X58 UD5
OCZ Platinum 1600 Mgz 7-7-7-20
Scythe mugen 2
XFX GTX 280 1GB
I'm now running @ 4,2 Ghz 1 hour OCCT stable with 1.2875 Vcore.
I've read some comments about F6D and F5G that they are better BIOS's for overclocking?!
I don't use AHCI or S3 so that won't be a problem for me.
Which BIOS is the best for overclocking?
F6D / F5G?
could you please upload the BIOS to rapidshare / mediafire or something?
Many thanks :clap::up:

Got OCCT error after 3 min. with F7D it took me 15 minutes for that.
can someone help me out with my xtreme mobo...
i have a 920 c0 and i cant even get 4.0 stable with ht on...i dont know if im doing something wrong or if its a crapy mobo/cpu
iv tried a lot of different voltages but nothing can get it stable right now im running 1.5vcore to eliminate the some variables but still no luck my temps are under control with my watercooling so i know thats not the problem
im running f7c bios with 6gb of corsair 1600 ram if someone can post their settings or maybe upload their oc profile so i can have something to work off of that would be awesome!
