My first attempt was much less efficient and way more ghetto as I had 2 black ice II rads duct taped together and to the front of the unit. With this much lower fpi RX360 there is no need for duct tape and the temps are more consistent and much better overall. I would post pics of the first setup but I would be laughed out of the thread :lol:
Just put together the system late last night, plug it in, turn it on.... a bunch of numbers flash on the LED on the board and it then hangs at "89". Nothing displays on the monitor at all. Looks like it isn't getting through POST.
What does this error code mean and how do I fix the issue so that it works? The user's manual and the web don't seem very helpful in this regard.

Maybe it's a BIOS issue. Recent BIOS updates were things like "add compatibility for gulftown" and "add memory compatibility". Maybe my memory (12 GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 8-8-8-24) is incompatible with the UD7? Or maybe my BIOS is one of the older ones that doesn't support 980X? I have no way to tell what BIOS is installed because I can't even get anything to display on the monitor at all. Is there somewhere in the motherboard packaging that it would say which version of BIOS is installed?
Vdroop thingy is LLC in the BIOS if Im not mistaken. Load Line Calibration.Quote:

Thanks so much!! :) I did'nt see a place to turn that off.. There's only a few options available for load line..
Yoh Bodar,
So just enable Level 1 and you will have a slightly going VDroop.
Level 2 adjusts a littel more of VDroop. The VDroop is going moderately up.
If you disable LCC the VDroop is following the default Intel spec.
Got me?:p:
I love texas. My niece is living there, dude:D
It's a new build. The windows install cd is in the optical drive, ready to install on the computer. But no OS has been installed yet. Nothing displays on the screen at all when I try to boot, so it doesn't show the version. I don't own any other cpu, sadly. Maybe I can borrow one from Best Buy. What do you think the odds are of that?Quote:

I don't mean to patronise, but, maybe the mbd is not getting past the initial loading sequence before it even gets to POST
Another issue could be that when you installed the CPU the mbd skt might have sustained a bent pin.
Just a couple of suggestions:)
You need at least BIOS-F3 to POST with Golfy. Most probably you need a i7 920 to flash your BIOS, but try to boot with minimum required HW before borrowing a CPU.Quote:

I don't think I bent anything in the cpu socket. Oh my gosh, I certainly hope that's not it. That would suck.
I'm thinking that this is the problem. I got the board from Newegg, it's got the default BIOS installed, whatever version that is I can't tell because it won't post.Quote:

Hey Bolas, I had the same problem when I bought my ud7 from newegg.. f2 bios is what it came with.. I had to go buy an i7 920 at fry's so I could change the bios.. Then I brought it back to the store the next day.. No harm :) You may need to get another chip for that to work..
Same EXACT problem? Error code "89"?Quote:

Fry's may let you borrow one in store to flash with, I'd call in and talk to a supervisor and see what he has to say about it.
Bolas:
Maybe I am suggesting sth. blatantly obvious here:
How about a local PC store and asking them to let you flash the BIOS in their workshop with a tray 920 chip?
I am aware tho that it is looking rather stupid in the USA with the scattered PC stores that usually don't have quite the variety of hardware to choose from...not to mention CompUSA etc. Been there, done that.
I really prefer my German PC stores here with the good old shelves stuffed with modder stuff and gamer hardware. ^.^ Mail order can be nice but I prefer oldfashioned shopping and an occasional fight with a chronical AMD fanboy.
:ROTF:
Where's the closest Fry's to Lincoln, Nebraska? I'm guessing 1,000 miles away in San Somethingorother, California. Otherwise, I would go there and ask.Quote:

I like that idea. There has got to be a store that will upgrade the BIOS on the motherboard for me. I know one on the south end of town that does some custom builds, I bet they would help with flashing the BIOS. There has got to be another store somewhere further north, too, I would think. I bet they are all closed on Sunday though, so I'll have to either take a day off work to focus on building the computer (a great idea) or try to do it during an evening or weekend.Quote:

Then stuff your cpu in and check it out maybe do a little benching right there. Maybe make some friends.
I pulled into a small computer store in Portland a few years back. There was a crowd gathered around a computer system. They were trying to overclock for the first time. It a P5N-e SLI with a e6400 chip in it. I got to talking with the group and the next thing you know I was doing the overclocking and showing them around the bios. We got it to around 3650mhz stable.
the store is gone now but we are all still friends. And that system is still in use..
Give it a shot.

Just went to a small computer shop. They were officially "closed" on Sunday, but the door was open and the owner was there. He said he'd flash the motherboard bios for me for $40 plus tax, if they had a cpu that would work in the board. But not today, they weren't open today. I got one of their business cards so that I can phone them and see if they have the right cpu before I drive in. I'll probably want to phone around tomorrow and see if I can find a shop that would let me borrow a chip on-site for cheaper than that. Or find somewhere that does overclocking or something useful.
I did find out that they'd buy old computers at salvage rates, so I will probably sell them my wife's old desktop system and use the money to buy a sound card, muahahaha. I might keep my old system and use it as a Linux box, haven't decided yet. Otherwise sell it and buy some headphones. I'm glad I found somewhere to unload my old stuff I don't need any more, better to have cash than clutter.

If that really is the final version of UD9, I'm not impressed. The heatsinks look ugly compared to the UD5 and UD7, and the board is kinda ugly.
Seems doubtful to me that it's final. I'm sure retail will have the fancy (and useless) heat pipe thing. As I burned through a small fortune on my recent build I'll probably be getting a ud9 but dual xeons isn't in the cards for me :<
It's a bit off-putting to me seeing all the extra power connectors. Does it not mean that cooling mods could be costly?
Better check my house water supply pressure :rolleyes:
can you guys quickly do me a favour and check your event log...
I seem to be getting a lot of
lots of D@01010004 VDS basic provider errors related to differnt hard disks- seem to occur during stress tests on my ssd, and on other drives when i change their drivers/ open the disk manager tool
So I'm picking up this MB today and I got a 920 C0 chip.. It's been giving me a hard time while OCing, but I'm hoping it was the mobos fault. Anyone with a C0 and a good OC? :)
And I'm wondering if anyone has got a boot problem when OCing. I do with my EX-UD3R. When OCed it makes the clicking sound that comes from rebooting like 5-7 times and then posts. When it's not OCed it posts fine, but I get a high pitched noise that goes away when I stress the CPU just a little bit, but when I'm not doing anything the noise is there.
That is the old images of the UD7P testing board, it's not new and definitely not the final UD9 board either.
I am using 965 ES C0 and don't have any problems with this board Freonor, running 4.2Ghz
You may need a new PSU to stop your coil whine, test with another and see if you still have it. C1E + EIST Disabled of course.
I'll try when I get my hands on another PSU. Think one of my mates still haven't fixed his computer which means I can probably steal his... :) Thanks for the input.Quote:

Anyone tried bios F7c any good or bad, otherwise think I will revert to F4 before rebuilding my system as F4 was always reliable and low v core for me.
Some quick responses would be much appreciated as I need to re build my system tonight.

Have some improvements with F7c as my CPU (980X) needs less VCore and VTT

So I'm mailing the board back to Gigabyte to have them flash the BIOS and test out the board for me. Hopefully that will work and I'll get it back soon.
Wow that's tough - Lincoln is the capitol of NE isn't it?
edit - how about omaha - what - an hour away?
I believe one of the Overclockers staff blew up a 980x with 1.4v I think it was. However it was an ES chip though, but still 1.4 v core is Intel quoted maximum for this chip - so I would be very wary of taking too much risk with v core as it could be a very expensive mistake.Quote:

I think I may have seen only one - maybe two retail chips in the 32nm graveyard thread - I need to go look again - they might of all been ES.
Edit - I have been as high as vcore 1.6v and qpi/vtt 1.46 (980x) and no problems yet - that was for short periods - maybe 30-40 minutes - chilled water - 2xboreas in series.
It is too early to say anything for sure about these 32nm-6cores, but high vCore seams to OK for short benching/testing runs, as long the temp is under control, and these chips runs really cool too.
The 24/7 voltages is a totally different history, because the long term effect of high voltages on degradation/death is not clear yet. Besides, the power usage can get really high with hight voltages. The 24/7 challenge is more about finding the sweet spot, not the edge, at least in my book.
High VVT can be a bigger killer/degrader than vCore, actually. The OC limitations of my X5650 is based in VVT, because it has a locked x20 Uncore that loves (and eats) VVT. I've chicken out on VVT=1.32v for now, until we get to know these chips better.
Wow! Super stoked guys!!
Just dropped in this 980X, and on first boot I could boot from BIOS with 230 Bclk, on water. I didn't try higher yet because I needed to get into the forums for now.
Pushed to 235.07 within a few seconds, seems like this CPU will be GREAT under Dry Ice, I can't wait to try it out!! I think within the next day or so I could easily get 240 or above, on water, so I think I may be able to get 250+ on Dry ice possibly?

These UD7 boards are super smooth to overclock with, very impressive!!
Anyone else have some Max clocks on this board? I have only seen a few here and there, not many lately either.
wow grats!!! tell me what are you aiming for 24/7?
Not sure buddy, I just got the chip today but I can say it runs very cool compared to my 965 C0.
So maybe 4.4 or so, depending on temps and voltages need for stability.
This is what I use for my regular gaming OS.. It's a xeon w3680..

sorry guys if OOT
my pc wont shut down , i need help
i already shut down but the post code still FF
please need help
im using dual boot windows xp & windows 7 its also have same problem
Clear your CMOS, this will fix it, then load optimized and start over again. If you are using RAID be sure you set your SATA/Disk settings again after you load optimized and reboot before going back into windows.
I had the very same problem a few weeks ago.Quote:

Will push Ghz tomorrow and see how far she can go on water. This is the best chip I have ever had I think, and I was told it was kind of a dud, well for LN2 anyway.
I'll have to pass along my first day progress to my contact, I think he will be very surprised. I know More Ghz matter to most people, but I have a thing for high Bclk's so had to play around with that a bit first before anything.
This beats my previous dry ice runs at -68C by a lot, with 3 different CPU's (920, 965, W3520) and my UD4P (Modified) I could only get 238-239 Bclk, with a TON of hard work, time, and dry ice. And this is only on water day one with CPU, so nice!!
Now I just need some 2000Mhz CAS 7 memory and I will be set! :up:
So this C1 clicking when booting when OCed. Do you think it's CPU related? Does anyone actually know the common cause for this? I see many people writing about this, but no solutions. I bought this mobo to get rid of the C1 problems i had with my UD3R. They persisted. Should I go get myself a D0 instead of the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty C0 I currently have?
I have one I7 920 and one i7 930 + UD7 and I have the same problem with both of them ... so it must be something with the settings in the bios or ram compatibilityQuote:

i mean how to uninstall the raid driver
Sam, need your opinion. These 980's are very expensive, but, even so, are you putting forward that this is still the best time to go for one. Also, is there a better o/c chance with a xeon W3680 or an i7 980X?Quote:

Yeah these are expensive, but they are not going to get cheaper anytime soon, unless AMD can really shake Intel. Next option for buying affordable 32nm 6-core seams to be Q3, according to current announced plans (if they don't change suddenly).Quote:

I don't think there is a big different in model#. The differences are usually based on batch#, so if you find proven Xeon W3680 batch# go for it, otherwise go for a proven 980x-batch#.
I haven't seen any retail Xeon W3680 around, and I don't know if retail is out yet, but I've found a couple of good 980x- batches:
3003B287
3003B242
Try to track down one of these, or other good batch# you may find around forums.
EDIT:
Just checked the Xeon W3680 retail is out now. A good Xeon-batch# can have a higher biding with better OC-headroom, but you should try to find a proven good batch#.
Hello to everyone, first posting, bad English and another noob question:D
Ok , i got PC from signature, bios is reading temp for MCH around 52c. Is that normal or i should be worried? Also , i am interested what are idle-max temps for those who have megahalems+i7 920, because mine are around 42c-76c reported in realtemp (while bios is reading around 5-6c lower(?)). And last but not least, did anyone solved post code reset problem. I mean everything is working perfectly stable at @3,8, but this cold boot is driving me crazy. When i put default settings MB is booting normal:(.
Thank you, i am very glad to be a part of this community! :wave:

I was just messing around with it, haven't had time to really get into it yet. I am very surprised with it already though, coming from a 965 that took dry ice and lots of effort to even get close to that, being able to boot 235+ is very cool. :up:
I do see a drop across the board in Everest Bandwidth with 980X, something I did not expect nor have I seen much mention of. A few small comments here or there in reviews of 980X is all. I am sure the extra cores make up for that though, but it is kind of depressing :(
i quoted the wrong post
i did mate :)
i dont think it makes a big difference as SuperPi performance is now on par with other i7s if not even better
make sure you are not losing a channel as well when you test bandwidth
sometimes it can happen when you push NB or RAM too hard
Ahh just wondered if you missed it or not. It's very cool to me and I don't think I have seen anyone get a higher Bclk on Gigabyte X58.
I know most people care about higher Mhz though, which I will get into shortly and it may not fair so well there either not sure?
I was told the CPU would not be good under LN2, so it may not get a very high overall freq either? I wont ever get it under LN2 anyway though, and was told it would be ok under dry ice. So hope to do that within a few weeks.
Still need to mod my board though, without the OCP mod where will it shut off at? Is it 5.4Ghz then it shuts down, or is there more to it than that? I need to find a place that sells the variable resistor I need, anyone know shops online please PM me.
Ahh, so you noticed it as well with Everest? I hadn't seen anyone mention that yet, but I know not many people use that as a guage for anything, so that could be why.
I use it a lot myself for memory reviews, so it's kind of a bummer to me.
All channels solid here :) but I do know what you mean, my 965 does it often at higher freq.
It isnt that much lower, but I noticed it right away. I think it is mostly copy that is much lower, and I tried out various Uncore as due to the different options with that now, and it made no difference.
Anyone? At least 'bout bold part...Quote:

Talking about MCH temp, right?Quote:

Thank you for answering. I am using computer for 20 years and i am very skilled in various things , but never so interested in OC till now... At least i am a fast learner...
It's difficult for me to go any further , like water OC-ing before i solve post code (c1) reset thing. I hope its just a bios problem...:rolleyes: I will try new beta later today, also changing memory slots to see what happens...
I think it's wise to have a fan over the chipset area or some airflow going over it....ive always done it on all my boards

Yeah, you can't go wrong about that for sure...

edit: perhaps a new thread for this is in order.
Ok, when i put memory in white slots MB is doing c1 loop, then long fast interrupting beep , everything fallowed by black screen. In blue slots it boots after some c1 loop, then it starts normal. Any thoughts, recommendations ?
Yeah, after putting memory from white to blue slots, mb is reporting voltage or overclocking error and resets to default bios state.
Hi,
just a general question. Does it make sense to remove the heatpipe block from the NB/SB/CPU mosfets of the UD7 and replace whatever thermo transfer stuff they put underneath with Arctic Silver 5, or something along those lines?
I've done it on my previous boards, also on the Maximus Formula, when ASUS put insufficient t.c. under the SB - killed some boards...
Just in general to improve the cooling a bit maybe?
Would someone mind posting a bios template with 980x at like 4.4 or 4.5ghz?
Thanks.
With my UD7 i run something like 1.57vcore, 1.40qpi/vtt, 25x uncore multi, and 33x CPU multi. This is 5.5 with HT wprime 1024m and vantage stable.Quote:
