hey guys any tips for increasing BCLK? Im using F3 bios atm. Im stable 100.3x58 set (100.1 in windows) but any combination of bclk passed 101 results in some sort of failure. Most of the time it just applies the multi and keeps 100bclk and says OC failure. Other times it will just restart run for 2s then restart run for 2s etc till I clear CMOS.
55x105.5 would be great. Same chip is doing 110bclk on MIVE 3d stable.
This is almost certainly a memory issue. You're using Hypers, right?
Are you trying to use 21.33 ratio?
this is with gtx3, psc 6-10-7-27.
here it is on MIVE easy
I've not had a problem with the b3 bios's but sometimes when pushing bclk on older b2 bios's having enable multi real time changes in os would rest my bclk in windows, may be worth a go without it.
splave you may have a bios corruption, try reflashing the bios again mate
weak implementation of bios change...hopefully this gets fixed..but i doubt it.
vPLL is already at 1.53v ;)
sweet now I just need to get easy tune to work lol!
Make sure you install Intel Management Engine ( IME ) drivers and iirc a service pack ( net framework ) and it will work fine, minimal cost with both installed for a 32m OS ;)
I'd help out more but i'm back in X58 land or hell, guess it depends on your perspective.
Hey guys. I recieved my new memories 3 days ago and im happy to report that the cold bug issues have disappeared ever since i installed them. I dont want to jinx the situation cause every time i report good news i get the issue on the same day but so far its looking extremely promising. Similar situation happened to my cousin, we installed him a 2500K, MSI P67-G43 system with G.SKILl ripjaws 1600mhz 1.5v but the system would constantly reboot loop. So i took out my old back up memories Mushkin Siletto 1333mhz and surprisingly they ran perfectly fine on his machine and it booted up right away. These same back up memories were also giving me the cold boot issues untill i got the memorie sin my sig. So the moral of the story is that if you have cold boot issues, its 99.7% your memories - regardless of the motherboard. It seems this new Sandy architecture is just too sensitive with memories. I guess its cause of the IMC approach...
Glad it's working for you.
I'm not sure why gskill 1600's 1.5v's arent working properly. They work great on my system (CL9D), and I can even change the BCLK by as much as 4 mhz in one go; the board shuts off and then boots up with the new bclk. Yet there's someone else who can't change BCLK by more than 0.9 mhz each attempt, or it says overclock failed....
I have 2 dual channel sets ripjawsX, same model/serial# but programed with different SPDs/same XMPs. One of them runs stock speed undervolted, the other one can't. It's all about different sticks/sets I guess. Just like the SBs.:D

Thanks, LSD.
Anytime man!
sorry guys to mess on this thread as i have an UD7 B2 using LLC1
but no troubles at all to boot 107 BCLK set on BIOS...and im using 2x4GB modules of mushkin mem 2133 C9 and no internal pll, not using ET6 just setting on bios
here the secuence, i exagerated vcore as i never tried this just saw the thread and i was interesed if my mobo can do it

Nice CPU man, you should post to UD7 thread as well
So, did you have any luck trying tighter timings with those sticks yet?
I'm eyeballing 999000 myself right now, just to try out 4GB modules :D
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226204
For P67 use CBcrom 1.98
Yes, on the Intel ROM question! :)
Still no problem what so ever !!! So happy finally to have my system rock stable on boot. Soon im gonna have to begin pushing it a little more. So far im at 4.9 ghz/2133mhz rock stable at 1.464v measured by Easy Tune 6. 5Ghz should be doable with my second Scythe S-flex... :p:
interesting so it was RAM related afterall but yeah bit of a pain for you to find out i guess
I can boot with 106 BCLK but I can't run anything besides IE....
INSTANT reboot if I press "start" on prime blend...never seen a crash so much in my life...I wonder if I can run stuff if i set my RAM to 1333 instead of 1600...
New F5 BIOS released 2011/05/10. "Fix S3 wake up issue " + whatever else they changed. Have not tried yet.
Surely that's not with PLL overvoltage, is it? Or is that some other s3 sleep issue? Possibly something from F3 final or F4 or earlier? I'll let someone else try it.....
LOL, I didn’t want to jinx you earlier by saying well done but it looks like you've finally got it sussed :up: now you can start having fun.
=========
@ Sergio, if he still got his ears on
Nice one with the UD7 BCLK experiment & new RAM kit mate :up:
=========
On another note I just ordered a Z68X-UD5 seeing as how good my P67 UD5 is/has been, I figured I’d stick to the UD5 again..... It will be here in the morning :D Unfortunately I have to go abroad for a few days & won’t have time to play with it until the middle of next week.
Thanks guys, i changed 3 sets of ram until it got going. After i replaced it with the B3 version i observed had the same issues when i was on the B2 and it got me thinking and the only explanation was the ram...
anyone else try this modded F3G bios with hypers, any difference to you guys?
I guess no one is brave enough to test the F5 BIOS and see if there's any changes in vcore stability (F3 final and F4 beta had erratic vcore swings with the 10 levels of LLC) or what that "fixed s3 sleep" meant....
Im still stuck on F3g seems the best for me so far been really stable no reboots / loops unless I cause them.
Ok well since no one else wants to test bioses I guess I have to be the guinea pig...
Found out what "Fix S3" means.
If you S3 with PLL overvoltage enabled, the board turns off after it tries to resume, it reposts from BIOS (this is the only way to enable the CPU register that controls PLL overvoltage), then it restarts windows and says "resuming from hibernation." Really not worth it anyway, as the HD thrashes so much, its no faster than just turning off and on the computer. But at least it doesn't boot loop now...
Still don't like this F5 bios that much because thre are still erratic vcore swings with the multi level LLC.
1.440v BIOS LLC7 gives between 1.452-1.464v idle, 1.452-1.440v load, and sometimes will spike to 1.476 briefly.
hi
Change from UD5 x58 to this setup
running @4.8 with 2500k F5 bios
seems ok some times seem to try and boot a couple of times before it does
but can not find were to disable the spread spectrum (assume it has it)
cheers
Spill the beans Dino plz... I only have the official version running on the B3 board... works fine from 2133 7-7-7 1.7 up to 2200 7-8-7 with GTX2 at 1.72Vcore...
Clocks a little easier (not messed much with the Bclock yet) with the Hypers than the M4E...
I'm having a very annoying problem with my B3 board, tried till now all available (beta) biosses, but at stock clocks the 2600K CPU only clocks up to 3500Mhz
anyone else experienced this... OS seems fine as when I hook up the MSI/ASUS it works up to 3800 single threaded...
played around a little tonight but really didn't run anything but Prime 32m/1024m due to the vcore not sure where the max is couldn't get it to boot in windows on LLC1 so went for LLC2 PLL enabled temps 81c I quit before windows corrupted any suggestions? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1821330
Guys I just changed the thread name to "Gigabyte P67A & Z68X UD5 Discussion Thread" as I fired my 68 up last night & don’t see a discussion thread.
I haven’t got a lot of tinkering time atm but so far the board runs exactly the same as my 67. I'm still on the shipping BIOS F3 I think & it looks just like the 67 BIOS. It has the 10 level load line thingy & atm I haven’t installed ET6 or found a CPU-Z that works so no idea yet how the vcore voltage runs.
with your 2500K at stock speeds and all bios settings on auto... in eg superpi 32M, how high does the multi go ? 37X ?
Hwinfo32 will show voltages. Either stable release or beta.
Getting my replacement UD5 from RMA today. w00t!
I still have my old ud5 and love it, awesome board.
Yeah, my pre-release board died a few weeks ago. Not sure why ;)
that's bad karma wiping out a board dude :p:
Uh-oh, giga police on my tail :eek:
:p:
I actually don't know how she died, I only benched the hell out of her day in and day out. :yepp: She was surely a boint machine while she lasted.
hahah nar man you're alright you have to ask a mod to change the thread name, you cannot actually do it yourself now!
i have a Z68X-UD4 here, killer board, '01 efficiency is real nice, LN2 this weekend with my mate youngpro and slightly higher clocks and a lightning :D:D
http://img.teamau.net/data/media/3/snaphsot0016.jpg
I have had my share of unexplained deaths with Gig though all there boards totally cranked. Real nice 01 score there Dinos22, POWA.:up:
Guys & Galls I've just given up playing with the Z68X.... It benches exactly the same as my 67 but I fffffin hate the 10 level load line level 6 droops loads level 7 overshoots loads. It needs loads more vcore than my 67 (+ .060) to be LinX stable @ 5GHz & when you get it LinX stable & reboot it'll fail & 101 instantly!!!! I give up no need to waste any more time with it seeing as my 67 runs exactly the same. I just hope the 67 keeps going.
referrng to B3 of course as B2 LLC2 is bugged; the old LLC1 can be improved (excessive vdroop at higher voltages), but the old LLC2 is fine (0.015v higher than what you set in bios at idle, and 0.030v at load (0.015 higher than idle), and seems to keep this over all voltages, which LLC1 doesn't do (the old LLC1 has much higher vdroop at higher voltages than at lower voltages). One of the loadlines in multi step should be identical to the old LLC2. Someone should ask GB to add it back.
And yeah LLC6 is better than the old LLC1 at lower voltages but droops alot at higher voltages, and LLC7 keeps max load the same as the bios voltage but spikes a LOT at light/idle....it seems to act like the "old" LLC2 suddenly kicks in at light load, except normally you would have the bios voltage set lower and have a steady predictable voltage (as I explained above) instead of spikes at light load....
I'm not overly fussed GB can't control there 10 million amp VRM..... they never been any good at tight voltages but ffs old 67 B2 board rock solid 1.355v bios + level 1 just makes 70oC in LinX for 5GHz new 68 board 1.41 + LEVEL 8 = 80oC+ FOR 5GHz...... something v wrong there!!!!
68 is back in the box..... if it cant at least match the 67 it aint no good.
Has anyone been able to set the multi over x51 on the UD5? if so whats the secret, I've tried up to 54 and nothing seems to work over x51 voltage don't seem to effect the boot no matter what I set it at it reverts back to 51 :shrug:
What's the max mhz (or multiplier) you can use with pll overvoltage disabled?
You can usually only go a few above that with pll overvoltage enabled.
usually +5 higher on the multiplier.
Ill have to check and get back with you on that I'm thinking that's with PLL enabled but I'm not 100% sure, to early in the morning to think but I was messing around while it was still semi cool outside and not in the 90s , ATM I'm moving files to another drive so it might be a awhile. so far I'm able to hit 5305ghz / x51-104.3 fsb
*Edit* was able to get x53 but vcore was getting high 1.50+ but wasn't stable and Ram was limited at the higher end vcore didn't want to boot 103.fsb , PLL was enabled LLC1 tried LLC2 but it didn't like it (bios f3g) I guess I need to read up a little more to understand Intel was hoping to get 5.5ghz for a quick Linx/ CPuz any suggestions are welcomed. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1831622
Hey guys, its me again. I just wanted to update you since last time. I have had ZERO boot up issues since i replaced my memories from a few weeks ago. Been pushing lately and have come up with 4925mhz for 24/7 with 2145mhz memeories. If i go more it wants ~1.47v under load and hits 88 degrees in Prime95 which is too much for my air cooler. Thanks again for the help in figuring this annoying cold boot mystery. :)
Glad to see you're happy with your fixed system!
+1
No boot issues at all since my b3 board switch and g jz bios:)) Thanks guys, system running like a beaut on 4.7 1.365:) llc1:) Pll enable:)
Would a UD5 or UD7 owner running with EIST disabled in BIOS please be kind enough to post a CPU-z txt dump. Thanks much.
Attachment 114802 here's a quick one for UD5-B3 F3g jz bios
Thanks very much for that AMD_Freak, much appreciated. :up:
Hey guys. Where did you all go since last few months ? My Giga is still kicking hard on the F3G JZ bios no problem at all. Any new BIOSes out there worth trying ? I guess my only issue is my reset button, but i hardly use it. I've since replaced my memories to 8GB 1866mhz 2x4gb, still in the process of selling my 2133mhz CL7s. Maybe admin should merge the thread with the other gigabyte threads ?
I'm still here lurking about with my B2 board, guess everyone’s gone quiet as they've moved on or haven’t tweaked anything for 6 month!!
I'm also still running the F3G bios & my rig is still quite happy rocking away 5GHz daily 1 year on with zero issues.
Mines still kicking runs flawless using bios f6 great board no reason to upgrade imo
I'm using F7. Besides the 22nm IB support, which will require an updated bios anyway, I was getting some strange issues with F3g, where the board would refuse to POST sometimes after a hard power down (would just power up for 10 seconds then power off). I was also seeing some strange things happening, like Windows 7 freezing after I choose "reboot", and then either powering off and on again, or just frozen at the shutdown or black screen. I noticed that bioses after f3g raised the default DDR voltage to 1.52v, so I did that and the problems went away. I then went to F7, zero problems with it besides the LLC being a bit erratic at times. Then I went to 16 GB of RAM (4x4 GB) and zero problems with F7, no boot loops, no cold boot bugs, nothing at all. I do seem to have coil whine coming from apparently the 6970...doesnt *seem* to becoming from the new seasonic 1000w psu at all (at least it doesnt get any more audible if I put my ear next to it, but who knows?), and the directions "seem" to point to the videocard. Probably harmonic resonance between the card and the PSU, since it didn't happen before I swapped psu's. Maybe I'll remove the card and try to turn on the PC without the card to see if that's it, but it will either error beep or boot loop without a card.
And most of the people seem to be in the UD4 or UD7 threads now. But all the rage seems to be the Z68 and X79...
Ok, the horrendous sound is coming from my Panaflo fan...out of all things...if I unplug the panaflo, everything is dead crystal silent....

Looks like I missed this one, thanks man!
I suppose there is also a UD7 thread around here somewhere too? :)
:up:
I think most GB P67/68 users have probably signed up to all the threads (UD4,5,7 etc) anyway but as this may be a fix BIOS there's no harm posting it everywhere.
P67 & Z68 UD7 Thread http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ead.php?263598
Ya, I posted it several places and then someone started saying "already posted" (No offense taken - you know who you be :) ), so I stopped posting about it and hoped everyone would spread the news internally via PM or other threads.
Thanks, I'm updating that thread now too!
Little rollup I used to flash the Intel ME firmware without flashing the BIOS
http://www.mediafire.com/?7jybasd47q1va6m
You will find the commands & option switches from about page 112 onward in the system tools user guide.
Nice one! So can users download ME updates anytime, and does Intel update those anywhere for the public regularly?
I wonder if this is something we should update on our own on a regular basis, or if some of the updates cause instabilities so Gigabyte only updates when an update passes their testing?
Not to the best of my knowledge firmware wise although you can get the ME driver/software from intel's download centre easy enough
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...Z68ZV&lang=eng
Maybe worth thinking about if you have problems but as the likes of GB include the firmware update as part of there BIOS updates I would think it probably best just to leave it alone. The full ME software package c/w firmware were available months ago on the GB website which was only 2 ~ 3 month after Intel released them so not that bad a delay.
I only realy checked & flashed my UD5 firmware because I could, was 1/2 bored & I didnt want to flash the new F8 BIOS.
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.
:D YAY :D
