but some how the voltage on the CPU sometimes goes craisy keeps raising and coming down until it freezes
this on F8F

this bios does have some problems including the f8G that show the cores downcloking in CPUZ only F8F show cores at allways the speed of the OC in CPUZ but for me F8F was crasy had to enter all the times in the bios config and save setings becouse it never aplies them in the 1º boot and vcores some how allways at 1.600 , but the problem in this 2 bios F8G and F8H is CPUZ related becouse the cores are at the oc speed all other programs show the all 6 cores at the same speed whith AMD coo and quiet off and core turbo off ive test it with 1.52 cpuz and shows the cores at same speed only the latest 1.54 cpuz version was some quind off flutoations
cheers
Yea, after a frustrating night with f8f I went back to f8h. f8f didn't want to play nice with my RAM at all. Vcore got bumped very high after a crash, so anyone running f8f be careful. f8g/h doesn't seem to suffer from that, nor dodgy ram clocks.
i have receved a msg from gigabyte becouse when a while ago i could not download the F8H from there site from some reason , heres a response :
Attach is BIOS for supporting 6 cores CPU. You should be able to update it and try again later. After bios updating, please do not forget to load BIOS fail-safe default setting and please also do not try to overclock your system at this moment.
For more information about BIOS upgrading, please click HERE.
Regards,
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY
so it means that there will be another bios from what i think
better then this one
Please upload it somewhere, or mail it to me, coccis_wez[at]hotmail.comQuote:

no doubt about it, F8h bios is flaky at best, i set it to 14x save and exit, and it sometimes boots up at 14.5.
Even with cool and quiet disabled, its odd, sometimes doesnt move from low settings under load.

I haven't had any big big issues with the 1090t on this board, but i haven't had a lot of time to test yet either. I hit 4Ghz easy on air. i did notice it seems core throttling is alway sthere even with turbo off and CnQ off.

if one got Corsair GTX, mastdrver solution looks good!
whats highest HTT you got on MA790FXT-UD5P?
i wanna try play htt with mobo.. just now im using F3L, it was not soo good as I thought.. maybe mem issue,.well..I try test again
my highest htt from bios is 317, from program in windows - 327 (super pi 32m stable) with bios F5 or F8c (i forgot which).
Only had it up to 305 myself, never pushed it further. That was on f3l/f3m.Quote:

http://www.overclock.net/9869541-post42.htmlQuote:
Bugs:
-------------------------
CPU Clock Ratio:
can be set to x16.5(Core Boost Performance multi) even when the multi on the 1055T is locked at a maximum of 14.
when set to 16.5 it will be ignored and silently set to 14 without reseting the value in bios. maximum should be x14.
NB multiplier:
randomly changes to x10 when manually set to a x7 or x8.
x6 and x9 work fine.
ACC:
only 4 cores can be adjusted /are displayed
Core Performance Boost (CPB):
- when disabled the default Vcore is set to 1.350v
- when enabled the default Vcore is set to 1.475v
this can lead to some confusion when the Vcore is changed manually and the Core performance boost is then disabled or enabled.
maybe this can be seperated as well like the CPU multi?
example:
http://i45.tinypic.com/14c5eo5.jpg
RAM:
Refresh Cycle Time: when set manually the value is set to a higher one, 90ns->110ns; 110ns->300ns; 160ns->300ns;
RAM:
here starts the real fun when trying to set anything manually....
my ram is rated 1600mz@1.65v@7-7-7-24-2T, it passes memtest+ 4.0 without errors,
but the OS crashes almost immediately and i had to reduce the frequency to 800mhz
and raised the Vdimm to 1.7v and the CR to 1T to get it anywhere near stable.
loser timings will make the ram even more unstable so it seams it behaves exactly like its not supposed to...
also i did some test to get higher freq stable but i would need insanely high voltage on the ram (like 1.85-1.9v)
to reach 1333mhz and even than it produces erros when tested in the OS (windows7 64bit, xubuntu 10.04 64bit)....
-------------------------
Fixed/Improved:
-------------------------
CPU core control:
all cores available
Cool&Quiet / Core Performance Boost(CPB):
- C&Q "enabled" / CPB "disabled" --> fixed
- C&Q "disabled" / CPB "disabled" --> fixed
- C&Q "disabled" / CPB "enabled" --> fixed
Vcore:
seems to be very stable now when CPB is enabled, used to jump araound all the time before.
RAM:
exact ram frequency is now shown when booting and not the value thats calculated from FSBxRam multi.
RAM multiplier:
randomly increases to x5.33 when manually set to x4. this seems to be fixed as well,
i could not reproduce it, but it might occure again since it was very random and hard to reproduce.
Ok, but now I've seen that he's talking about the problems in F8H..Quote:

BIOS F8k his review:
http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/giga...tml#post362625
Didn't have time to really test it out fully. But both f8j and f8k gave me stability problems with previously stable settings used with f8h. However, room ambient was close to 30C when i tried them, so there is a good chance it was due to heat. Needs more testing.
C&Q and CPB enable/disable works as it should in f8k (was still bugged in f8j)
f8k is doing fine, but F8H still the best for every day use and better stability. F8K fixes some glitches
I can't say a word about this board, very nice indeed.
310 HTT, 2000Mhz DDR3, 3100Mhz NB speed , she can handle them all..
i never got past 1700ddr3 2800nb.. what kind of cooling?Quote:

F7 did work fine w/ CnQ and manual overclock. at 955, 1055 and 1090T.
Any info on when & official new bios will be out ?
So you can go well over 1666 on this board eh? I haven't tried now with my Team Group Dark set, but when I put my 720 +UD5P under DIce, I'll see how well they clock and see what this board can really do. It's done me well so far on air with my 720. ;)
Has anyone tried and can anyone confirm that SLI runs on this mobo using the SLI patch developed by http://xdevs.com/e107_plugins/conten...php?content.30 ?
Here's the link to the thread and all related discussions http://forums.techpowerup.com/showth...60844&page=163
The reason I'm asking is that I'm hesitating to upgrade to a second GTX 470 and later find out it doesn't work in SLI even with the SLI patch.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
It looks like the support for this mobo is gone forever.
That's why my next board will be an Asus.
We need Bios Updates! memory support is so awful in this board.

I tried putting on thumb drive and using Q flash and it 'looked' like it did something but I am still on F2 based on CPUz and @BIOS.
I am sure a very rookie mistake here, but what am I doing wrong?
If you load bios defaults before flashing, same result?Quote:

Tomasis, which bios revision is best?
here is voltage settings. What else I should increase?

On the BSOD, it flashes something about ntfs quick before rebooting. Anybody have any ideas?
UPDATE: It looks like it's something with the external and USB possibly. I tried copying something over to the local drive and it crashed again... I'll keep digging around a little.
SOLVED: It looks like the chipset drivers from Giga conflict with the USB drivers that W7 installs. I uninstalled all of the usb ports and rebooted and it worked fine.
i got 1075T and this is my best till now, will try more but i think this is max fsb i can get from my mobo, cooled with air

Only 280's? That's a shame. I've got a board that I just set the HT. to and it booted completely stable at 305. It can definitely go farther. Have you tried increasing the NB (chipset) voltage?
does anyone know what is set fsb clock generator for this mobo
I have a picture of the PLL, but it's not in the SetFSB list.
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...3/DSCN1157.jpg
i managed to push it just over 4.4GHz :P
http://www.shrani.si/f/35/6M/2q7Z4LXY/44.jpg
Does anyone happen to know if this motherboard is gonna support the upcoming bulldozer CPUs?
Probably not, unless Gigabyte decides to update BIOS as ASUS and MSI do. Gigabyte has already made/announced AM3+ ready motherboards (revisions/new versions of 8x0 chipset boards with black AM3+ socket).
It will, but probably later.
F8K that is supposed to be good here is weird, sometimes it's stable, and sometimes not. Some weird popping cranckling noise coming from Forte 7.1 + 6870 crossfire...
F8M has worse OC abilities but seems very stable, PhenomMsrTweaker , don't work in F8M also....
Do the latest beta Bios improve the support of 1.5V memories? I'm running F8c and it seems that it can't set the voltage below 1.6v.
I would check my bios for mem voltage range if i could. My keyboard stopped working at post ? I cant even set my hd to sata mode without the bios hanging. I was planing on a new amd board for bulldozer. I'm glad i waited .
I am running F8n and it still has a minimum for ram voltage at 1.6v. Though my board recognizes that the ram is 1.5...Quote:
