Hi guys,try this beta released 16.April...(Update CPU microcode):
GA-X58A-UD7 - F7f
I am using EK Block as well. If you get one be sure you check your NB to ensure it is making contact before using the machine. Mine was not and I had to use excessive paste to make it work, another user here sanded down his spacers.Quote:

But how about this original Gigabyte block? At this point i have no money to spent to buy EK block:) So im thinking if i can use WC stock gigabyte or just dont use wc at all:)Quote:

Not sure how well it performs? Or yes, you can leave it on and just do not connect water to it and be fine as well if you want, or add the hybrid heatpipe to that too if you wanted
I gues that i will add heatpipe cause my tubing are 11/16.Quote:

How's the fan control with this board?

Does this board have this feature? Thanks! :)
There is a SYS_Fan2 header that is PWM/Voltage Controlled, but it is often problematic and will only run half speed.
This issue is common on all GIGABYTE Boards that I have seen, not sure why they do that? BIOS f7d allows PWM Slope CPU/Case fan control (If you download from Stasio's link at TT), which should allow you to correct the SYS_Fan2 speeds, but that is only in that one BIOS
Yo guys,
I just installed my new Sapphire HD 5970 OC and I canīt enable ATi CrossFire.
One gpu rund at 735 MHz (thats default) the other always runs at 157 MHz (thats 2D) no matter what kind of game I am playing. I cannot wake it up to 735 MHz.
I deinstalled, reinstalled the drivers, created a new W 7 partition to see if there might be anything wrong... no way. I am still having this ATi CrossFire diabled issue.
So my last thought is the BIOS. Might it have something to do with the settings?
I set Init Display PCIEx16-1.
Does anybody have a good idea?
Only SYS-Fan2? Damn, that sucks. Big oversight on Gigabyte's part to only offer one bios controllable fan header. It's a high-end enthusiast board after all... Why does it only work in f7d though? No plans on implementing this in newer revisions as well?Quote:

@Lsdmeasap: I forgot to post an update on the ek chipset block, your posts were spot on, no contact on nb at all. A gob of mx-3 fixed it right up.
Before:

Hopefully Eddy will pick up on this and check into what the deal is with the ek block.
Sorry for the confusion! CPU fan header is also controllable as well.Quote:

I am trying to see if we can get this added in by GIGABYTE Taiwan, plan to ask about it this week but I am sure even if they will add it it will take a few BIOS versions.
Thanks for the update! I thought your situation sounded like mine.Quote:

Ya, hopefully Eddy sees this (Send him a PM maybe if you talk to him), I emailed back and forth with Gregor about it but I think he may have thought it more to be my fault than a design flaw. So he may not have passed it on or thought anything more about it.
Since he is a quality and development officer I'd hope my experience would mean something and help them redo how the block is attached, but not sure if he thought anymore about it after we stopped talking.
I know using WAY to much paste like I had to is not ideal, it works yeah but users should not have to do that at all. Let me know if you PM Eddy, and what he has to say about it all.
Yo guys,
sorry that I have to insist on my "cannot enable ATi CrossFire issue".
I am not sure if the problem is caused by the PLX-chip of my graphic card or caused by the board.
Somebody told my about the same problem using an AM2-Board, when he graded up to AM3 the problem was gone.:cool:
Well, I am having Gigabyte - but does anybody have experiences about the X58A- UD7 running a mgpu graphic card?
Or better, does anybody have an idea what is causing these problems?
What does the post code 5d mean? When I first install the HD 5970 the board refused to start with a 5d code.
^ Hi mate i don't think it is board related problem & u should report this problem to Sapphire .
I have a 5970 and a 5870 running in trifire on my ud7 never had any problem booting, I think something is up with your card.
Well,
I could wake up the second gpu to 735 MHz by the help of the ATiTrayTOOL.
http://www.abload.de/img/atitray1sjp.png
But I have got a gray frozen Screen after 30 sec. and a checksumError too.
So I took all my oc down, tried again with ATiTrayTool and got a gray frozen screen again.
What can I do?
Is this issue board or graphic card related?
EDIT: If I turn up the voltage to 1.05v (thats default anyway) everything works out fine.
But why do I have to use a AtiTrayTool to get the second core up to the default frequency?
Can somebody suggest me what bios should I use with this mbo along with 920 cpu if I plan to run dominator gt at rated 2000 mhz speed ad oced 920 cpu? Thanks.
The very latest :DQuote:

Seriously, I always use and suggest the latest Beta BIOS :up:
I know you do ;), I read several threads (here and there) that you participated and helped users to achieve their goal. It's very helpful for users that are new with this platform and wont maintain stability while OC-ing, and I appreciate that. :up:Quote:

I haven't seen any issues at all with any of the last several rounds of beta's, so I think you will be fine with the latest!

Quick question: what is the max safe ich i/o ? I had set mine at 1.58 is that likely to damage anything eg sata dreives/usb?
You'll be fine, but it probably isn't necessary

I didnt just make it up lol some guy said "ICH I/O: has influence on southbridge volts for drives, usb" see second post
I didn't think you made it up :)
It is voltage for incoming/outgoing communications from the ICH to IOH, it should not affect your devices at all only the chips mentioned.
Hi guys!
Finally ive got my 930 and Ga x58 ud7 and Corsair XMS3 3x2GB, 1600MHz CL7. Im still waiting for my cpu water block cause i forgot that D-tek fuzion v2 from my qx9650 wont work on 1336:) ;) But i coudnt resist to install this setup on box cooler. Problem is that in ilde i have 48-48C. Isnt that to high? I dont want to oc cause im afraid of temps:) It is 4 years since i went for WC so im not used to see such a temps on ilde:)
and one more question are those mems T1 or T2 XMS profile set it to T2.
I just joined the X58A-UD7 club too :D
I hope to start the overclocking tomorrow. Gonna make sure nothing is wrong with my new motherboard first.
i7 920 (D0)
Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme 1366
Corsair Dominator 3GB DDR3-1600 CL8 kit
(Antec Twelve Hundred)
What's the max I should be able to get without any trouble? I'm expecting at least 4ghz
Answer: Who cares, it'll be under water soon that means no more temp worries except at very high oc. Life is good.Quote:

Nice speed Hicookie!
No, I don't think this kit will do 2.4Ghz for 24/7 use stable! I could try, but I doubt it will.
It is only a CAS 7 1600Mhz Kit (BBSE), very surprised I could do the speeds I did above!
http://mushkin.com/Memory/Blackline/998679.aspx
I think it is only possible because of 980X Uncore multi changes, with 965 CPU I could only do 2140Mhz
I need to see if G.Skill has something they will send me for testing and review :up:
how do you check firmware?ive got a corsair p128 SSD and dont know how to check the firmware version.thanksQuote:

Anytime man!
So you find what you needed then?
well the funny thing is,after reading your post i fired up everest
and looked at the HD's and was confused because all i could see
was WD HD listed.after a few minutes i realized that im on my old
920 setup.both have WD Hd's,but the new one also has the P128.
i was messing around with the new one today,and forgot that im
back on the old one
Haha, that's funny!
Yes, you do need to be on the System with SSD's to see the SSD firmware.
How does the P128 perform? Had you used a different SSD Previously to compare your thoughts with.
this is my first SSD and i like it a lot.my pronle right now is i only have one video card
and im in the middle of crunching for WCG with the 920.but today i decided to play
with my new P55A-UD7 and new i7-870.and its is fast.but i had to put the card back
and finish my WU's.ive got a gigabyte HD5870 on the way.:up:
until then im on my X58A-UD3R+i7-920
Cool, just wondered how it was since not many people have them.
It's sandforce right?
I just got a Gigabyte 5870 SOC myself last night! Will be posting a thread on it next week and I will be doing a review of the 5870 SOC vs 4890 once I have time
the P128 is the with the older samsung controller i think?
Hicookie,
thanks for postiung your BIOS template on the 980...
Something seems odd to me. The VTT/Uncore voltage. My "old" C0 920 is known to need higher uncore voltages, mine runs fine at 1.435V/3600 MHz QPI clock. The trademark of the D0 steppings is their much lower uncores...
And there is your 32 nm chip, needing 1.415V VTT like my C0 920?
Is that a common thing on the hexcores?
hicookie is running memory at 2300Mhz cl8.thats probably why vtt is at 1.42v
BIOS-F7f has unlocked the locked Uncore on my X5650, and now it is hitting BCLK221 with safe VVT :) The new microcode seams to do great wonders on Westmere ;)
I've posted the good mews here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=251511
Just a teaser, and a quick Prime-run to test the temp, and it looks promising, but I have to test and optimize more.
X5650 @4.2GHz(210x20) 1.32v , VVT=1.30v :)
http://img.techpowerup.org/100508/Capture015.jpg
And what's the problem with some higher VTT? I currently run at 1.54V to stabilize 4.0 GHz uncore and I'm thinking of trying to sync it with the core at 4.2 with about 1.6V or more.Quote:

You could save those heat and get a higher OC with the same cooling. You can reduce the VVT with using x16 Uncore and x8 RAM with thigh timing, and you will get the same performance for 24/7 with less heat, and a long life for your CPU.
Guys, quick question - hope it's not too n00bish but it's bugging me. Ever since I had i7 I've overclocked with the rule that the mem multi has to be half the uncore multi. However I have seen people posting stable results indicating they aren't following this rule. Are there any exceptions where u do t have to follow this?
On 45nm i7, the Uncore has to be at least 2 times of the RAM.Quote:
Originally Posted by MikeMK

on 17 32nm, the Uncore has to be at least 1.5 times the RAM. I think, but I've never tried it, correct me if I'm wrong guys.
Uncore>=1.5xRAM.
Ahh, that would make sense then. Didn't realise it was different for the hexacore/32nm i7s.
That is correct, and with the changes in 980X running 2000+ memory is now MUCH easierQuote:

@Lsdmeasap,
this is for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oRKvpZ7PjE
You guys with 980x or x56xx should flash to BIOS-F7f, and have a new look at your previous OC. You will probably be able to improve it further.
This new microcode patch for 32nm has made several big improvement. The Uncore of my X5650 has improved dramatically, a totally new world, and much more stable and manageable. The LLC has changed a good deal too, now I get the same Vdroop with LLC=level1 and standard. Overall the CPU feels much better and more stable.

vtt is all about uncore speed's need.
with 3.2(uncore)GHz just needs 1.255v
3.6GHz uncore needs more, i just do a quickly run, not sure if lower than
1.42v stable with 3.6GHz uncore.
I feel like I could get so much more out of my chip (I was able to run pcmv at 4.8ghz I just mean in terms of doing 4.4-4.5 with lower vcore) The problem is I don't really know what I'm doing I just stick my 2000mhz c7 triple kit on xmp, set dram voltage to 1.66 pick an odd multi that gives me like 4.2ghz then start raising bclk and vcore/vtt and try to get something high.
This can't be the best way to go about it.. Maybe someone could give a few pointers? I've read i7 oc guides but the 980x seems to be a bit different or at least that's what I read on the forums from people who have pushed 920s and now are pushing 980s.
Good morning, does the F7h (special JZ bios) contain the new 32nm microcode patch that was in F7f?Quote:

I just got the UD7 board. and at first it worked fine.
got windows installed and then on reboot, had a problem.
network refused to connect.:mad:
I flashed the bios from F5 to F7 but that didn't help either.
someone else had a similar problem on the Overclockers.com board.
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s....php?p=6447538
and their suggestion to fix it was to reset the CMOS and then load bios defaults.
how ever i tried this and it didn't help
quoted from thread above since i have Identical problem.
anybody experice this before as well and is there a solution besides RMAing the board?:shrug:Quote:
What it does... with a cable plugged in, I found that the NIC (both of them) is showing in quick succession... "enabled" then "network cable unplugged" and keeps repeating that one after the other.
I have tried different cables / connecting straight to the router rather than the switch / updating the BIOS from F3 to F4 / every time it is the same.
I went into the BIOS and used the smart-lan (I think it's called) feature, and it is showing 187m on all four fields if that is helpful.
Disable them in bios, boot into windows. Reboot and enable them, boot into windows. (not saying it's for sure going to work just that it's an idea) I use an intel pcie nic and recently I thought it was acting up so I switched to internal and both ports showed cable unplugged, took a couple reboots but they're working fine now. I honestly think it's an OS issue.
ok i'll give it a try
OK i went into the bios , disabled the NICs rebooted into windows, went back to the bios and re enable them. Same effect.
then deleted the devices from device managers, rebooted, disabled NICs in bios , booted to windows, back to bios, enabled NICs rebooted to windows. same affect.
doing widows update and it states there is a update for the NIC driver.
cross my fingers.
I just found this...new beta BIOS for the UD7:
http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/12...58aud7.f7h.zip
No clue how different it is. I am prolly going to flash it... I found F7F to cause more fluctuations in Linx' GFlops results than F6 on my C0 920.

Thanks Sam - So if we are not sure F7h has the new microcode I will install F7f to make sure I get the new code - since I am using 980x.
F7h has the new microcode and a gulftown fix for the auto vdimm
Disable the C1e, it will reduce it a lot. Enable the C3/C6/C7 State Support if you need power management.Quote:

Isn't that just kinda counterintuitive? LLC2 is just acting more as a boost... an overshoot. LLC1 probably sounds closer to what I want then..Quote:

After updating to BIOS-F7f, the LLC=Standard is having the same Vdroop as LLC=level1 on my CPU :).
I'm using LLC=Standard now, and @4.1GHz(216x19) getting 1.296/1.280(Idle/Load)
hi!
Got my new ud7/i7 920 ready to play under water and so far this is what I got:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
It's a golden batch i7 (3849B018) and I'm running:
res - mcp655 - mcr320 with 6x gt 1850rpm in push/pull - apogee xt / indigo extreme - mcr320 w/ 3x gt 1850rpm - ek ud7 block - res.
Now, where do I go from there to start playing for real? This puppy was running stock at like 1.08 or something silly like that...
update: it looks like it's prime95 stable so far... time for Linx or more speed/volts?

Do you think I can make it at 220bclk under 1.35-1.36v ? Let's try! :)
Nope, I don't think so, my golden w3520 which did @4.51(216x21) 1.34v rock solid stable, could never do 220x21 stable, but don't let it discourage you, try it.Quote:

A little 15min prime. I have to explore the x20 and x22 multi too before deciding the final setup and final 24/7 stability test.
This seams to be pretty stable, and a really good candidate for 24/7 use.
The next BCLK, 221x19 seams to be stable too, but it needs 1.328v vCore which adds 3'C to core-temp, so this is the sweetest spot for 19x.
X5650 @4.18Ghz(220x19) 1.312v, VVT=1.32v :) 15 min Prime

Yo guys,
before I installed my HD5970 I loaded the BIOS "optimized defaults". I have got CPU Clock Drive 700 mV, PCI Express Clock Drive 700 mV now.
If I oc my system to the clocks in the signature again would it be better to set the CPU Clock Drive up to 800 mv and the PCI Express Clock Drive up to 900 mV ?
I am running Windows Vista, Windows 7 in a 64 bit mode and Windows XP Home in 32 bit mode. What would happen to the Windows XP partition if I change the HPET Mode to 64 ?
Fritz - for max oc (not 24/7) I am always using 900mv, 900mv on those settings. i found that 900mv on the pcie clock was needed for pcie of 119.
pcie 119 increases the storage subsystem performance when going for max pcmv scores.
900mv for the cpu clock might help cpu oc, not sure about that one though.
HPET on or off hasn't seemed to make any diff for me.
And is passes LinX anyways?Quote:

CPU PLL 1.800v .........................[1.86]
PCIE 1.500v ...........................[1.54]
QPI PLL 1.100v ........................[1.14]
IOH Core 1.100v .......................[1.58]
ICH I/O 1.500v ........................[1.14]
ICH Core 1.1v .........................[1.14]
How do you know you need more volt for these options?
:shrug:
WOW, please do not use 1.58 IOH core, hope that is switched around with IOH I/O, looks like you might have switched them.
Mine are all at standard but how do you determine a setting needs more?
Huigie - when ocing i usually bump all these up one click, rarely two clicks - the exception is cpu pll - this can increase both your oc and probably your temps as well.
