does anyone know if we are to see refreshes of Gigabyte's current X58 lineup or if they are coming out with new boards all together (like the UD7)?

Testing with 1,4v set in bios @4.6 gives 1.376v-1.392v cpu-z idle, and 1.408v - 1.424v cpu-z load. Very happy that they made this third option available.

The socket has casing from Lotes, suspects foxcon for the rest, but not sure.

The bios that came with the mb was F2, and seems very good.

Max bclk I'v managed so far was 21x236 with pifast bench (on water). Forgot to include the cpu-z Mainboard flap, sry.

I bet it does!

Sorry you missed this thread lately, we should have PM'd you as much as you have posted on this one!

So did you order a UD7 yet?

I ordered one from the Egg today since the 10% Bing discount came back.

So $349.99 plus 11 for 3 day shipping less $35 Bing discount. Net was $325.

Want to see if this thing can get an i7 920 over 222x21 with HT enabled running Vantage and 3Dmark06.

The R2E can only do 218 BClk for me on all the R2Es I've had.

More info can be found here

Other models all I can say is be patient.

Thanks for the info...

I just found this board for 258 euro, which is again a little bit acceptable almost (45 euro more expensive than the UD5 and cheaper than the UD5-Extreme??)

So I am considering the UD7 once again (although it has waaaaaay too many SATA ports)

Thanks a lot for this very usefull information!

Do you know if stuff like the pci-e mod is also done on these revised UD5s?

Just got mine. Installed and running at first attempt settings which is 4200/1750-12GB (175*24). i'll post back later after i figure this bios out. So far i'm impressed. The board sure feels solid. Must be that xtra copper. Hardly no flex. I hate that the ad--on nb cooler takes up the pci-1x slots. I wanted to be able to do 3-way sli and still keep my xonar.

So far i cant get stable above 4200mhz. Lets hope its just early bios or (most likely) lack of bios knowledge. I've used many templates from the X58-UD5 thread as well as the settings i was running on the Classified with this CPU and Memory. So far nothin has worked from the UD5 thread. 24x175 for 4200 with 12GB @ 1750 cl8 is my best so far. Got a long day tomorrow so testing has officially been suspended for tonight. I'll run p95 over night with my current settings. C'mon new bios lol. It does recover from bad OC settings a lot better/faster than my classified did.

With that much ram, you are stressing the IMC way too much. Either remove 6gb, or lower latency to cas 9 and up your VTT. Also, make sure your B2B is between 4 and 6.

You can start with the VTT and B2B, if that doesnt work, try cas 9, and if that doesnt, then pull some ram.

You will probably need about 1.4VTT.

Also, even multis are never as stable as odd ones. Try using 23.
