do you guys know, should Easy Tune 6 work with beta bios's?
So nobody can run PCIe over 105MHz...? If that is so, for me that is kind of an issue that should be looked into.
Mine goes to sleep in 2-3 secs and resumes under 4-5 secs.Quote:

Thanksfull for suggestions..
Errors: (69) setupsystem managenentn mode (smm)area
I would think inability to do this would be caused by the peripherals more than the mobo itself. but that's just my guess.Quote:

Guys,
having real issues with a GX-EX58 Extreme setup here. Win Vista bluescreens randomly without any load saying "mupsys.dll" caused the error. Happens on a 24h linX stable / 53h prime blend stable rig which really pisses me off -.-
Now, I couldn't find much on the web about that error, and what I did find referred to some network trouble on older machines running Windows XP :rofl: :rolleyes:
Assuming it might have to do something with the onboard NICs, their driver or whatever, I disabled them and installed an Intel PCie LAN adapter. Helped for 1 day but now it's happening again :(
Happens both on the above mentioned (end extensively tested..) OC settings as well as with bios defaults. Bios is F4M, trying F5e next or maybe F4 final.
If anyone got some more ideas, shoot... I haven't seen this error before.. ever.
If you keep getting same bsod error pointing to a specific file, may be software issue...and I have learned chasing down corrupt files is nearly always futile...unless you installed a recent program and can pin point it to that. Restoring from an image takes 5 minutes, along with 2 minutes to back up my docs from last image.Quote:

I corrupted my XPsp3 benching recently, way to many hard shutdowns, etc... but took that as an opportunity to change to windows 7 64bit:D.
If you dont have an image for quick recovery, then its a tougher decision.
with F4m I need to hit the start shortcut three times - then it starts - using 32bit xp.Quote:

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that EasyTune 6 doesn't work on Windows 7 64-bit either if it wasn't working for me on Vista x64??
only a few people got easy tune to work in vista x64.. we still don't know what the secret is.Quote:

I can do 100-101 without any issues. 102-105MHz seems kind of random here wich makes it unusable.Quote:

i found i couldn't resume from sleep mode with the F5f and F5g bios's and HT disabled (forgot to try with it enabled, lol)
but it works again after i flashed back to F5e
I finally had to break out the Vista64 DVD to do a repair after a system hang trying to run Crossfire at higher than stock clock speeds. I got an immediate BSOD upon boot saying that ecache.sys was corrupted. All is well after the repair though.Quote:

can i use memset with this mobo?

Guys, I need some help. I have the extreme version, bios F5C.
I just took out my 920 and put in a 940 and my PC turns on for 1 sec, then turns off and continues this loop.
I've tried resetting the cmos, I've removed the battery for about 30 seconds.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Do you think that maybe the CPU isn't seated correctly?
Try putting your 920 back in.
did you unplug anything accidentally (8pin)?Quote:

Looks like I am going to have to buy a new board. I'm not going to RMA it because I'm sure when they see the pins it will give it away.
So, would you guy buy Gigabyte again? I really hate the long boot times.
Would be hard to fix imo, worth a try though?
You could just send the board back for repair. Shoot off an e-mail to Gigabyte and get an estimate. I imagine it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a brand new unit.
I had the same problem and successfully RMA'd the board. The only difference was the computer ran fine for about 2 hours then started that reboot cycle. I have seen a few reviews on Newegg describing this issue and they all RMA'd. Good luck!Quote:

I coudn`t get stable, but with 190 * 21, i can use vcore with 1.40 ( vdropp 1.375 idle, 1.36 load ) stable.
Bios F4N.
Both of my LAN ports are dead - more specifically they repeatedly turn themselves on and off rapidly. I'm on F5D now, so will be trying the power-down, remove cable and clear CMOS trick. Hopefully that'll fix it.
I've also found that the RAM timings have a severe effect on Windows performance and I've still not got them right - some memory intensive apps just crash. While the DRAM settings were on 'turbo' (the default), the audio devices in Windows were running 1% too fast.
I wish I hadn't been a cheapskate and had bought the ASUS. I'm also kinda hoping that the LAN ports are dead so I can RMA this thing.
I have the same problem I need 1.44vcore load to get 200X20 stable but 21X191 is stable with much less vcore.Quote:

I decided to go out locally and pick up a board. They had the Asus P6T and P6T deluxe. i bought the deluxe.
It boots up fine now. Installing chipset drivers now and then will start to OC it.
hey, i am new to this board, so hi how are you guys doing?
anyway i have the ud5 version of this board, and as soon as i up the voltage of qpi/vtt up to 1.3 or higher i will not be able to post with cmos reset, is this a bios issue, should i go back to F3 version, as of now i am using the f4 version from gigabyte's website. or is it possibly a hardware issue?
if its a bios issue, which are you all findind the best?
Thanks to Safan80 for posting the fix to the dead LAN ports problem!
I am on Bios version F5E of the EX58 Extreme board, so far... 0 problems... i don't have cold boot problems.
Still priming... since 04:00AM til now 19:54 (my time) at 19x200, Vcore 1.3v in Bios (1.276v idle, 1.24v full in cpu-z). My chip just don't like 4GHz and low voltages so i am sticking to 3.8GHz until i get a new chip...
Cannot confirm about resuming from sleep mode since i have it disabled.
So what exactly holds back an i7 from running higher BLCK's? Is it the QPI speed from the CPU that limits how high of BLCK you get? I haven't had any luck getting 211Mhz stable with my current chip. I've tried it with a lower CPU multiplier of 18x and 19x and I've lowered the memory ratio to 6x to try and take the memory out of it but it still fails LinX within a few seconds. I bumped the QPI/Vtt voltage all the way up to around 1.5v and that still didn't get it stable. It doesn't BSOD when it fails neither, it just hard locks and I have to manually restart the computer. Usually when testing with the 21x multi and a lower BLCK it will BSOD when its unstable due to the CPU needing more vCore.
Maybe explore the other voltages? What vcore are you trying to pass 211 at? HT on as well I assume?
I havent had luck over 215 without HT on my chip
so how many times did you hit the clear cmos button?Quote:

hi
now on f5g bios no change from f5a
still at 21 x 200
Thanks for this link. I think it will be interesting to see what trends start to show up with IMC quality. They may simply go hand in hand but I wonder if some chips might end up with bad IMCs that hold back their high quality cores. :(Quote:

I can have all mem in but 2 in blue slots an one in white slots.
Any suggestion how to solve this..
which QPI LINK SPEED I should choose for a 3.8 overclock on a 920

Ok thanks had no luck with bios f4 no matter what I did. flashed to F5G and at least already at 3.880 with turbo on. the isochronous support should be enable or disable?
also could you help with the voltage on the below settings
QPI/VTT
IOH voltage
qpi pll voltage
ICH I/O
ICH CORE

Is it possible for a RAM to run at CL4 at 800MHz ? Yesterday, my Dominator Ram was running at CL4 (4-8-8-24 @ 800 Mhz) - as per CPU-Z and Everest both. I got worried as I didn't have memory cooler so I rebooted to check in BIOS if I accidentally set it to 4, but it was shown as 8. When I came back in Windows its was back to 8.
Can it be just a bug or was my RAM actually running at CL4.
I have never seen an x58 run mem at cas4 (not yet anyway).Quote:

no way could I prime (for any length of time anyway) at 4g @ 1.31v.Quote:

it failed AT 1.31 BIOS setting but im using HT OFF.
What were your other settings for your 21x196 settings. I did not get the TRUE today in the mail so still working with the stock cooler.what was your
QPI/VTT Voltage
IOH
CPU PLL
QPI PLL
well done for the night settle for 3800. on this stock cooling the temps were going really high while anything above it. hopefully tomorrow I et the new true. and can start testing again
I've settled for 3.8 as well due to stock cooling. I'm waiting for my Crossbow retention kit to get here, so I can use it with my Vendetta 2.
could you share your bios settings?Quote:

Most of people using F4j or F4m
I am using F5E... with no problems and suposedly fix the sleep mode thing
using everest and prime95 my motherboard temps idle at 31C and loads to about 42C
anybody for comparison?
is that at stock speed and v?Quote:

So you can resume from sleep mode without HT enabled?Quote:

I just disabled HT to test this for you with BIOS F5e on my UD5 @ 21x180 and it worked. I waited 10 seconds after the fans stopped to click the mouse and trigger the resume.Quote:

but Xello wanted to know if the F5e BIOS for the EX-58 Extreme board (different BIOS) worked in the same way
I saw someone over at Tweaktown post a thread stating that on the UD5 the S3 sleep mode didn't work for them till they enabled HT because they had HT disabled before. Maybe they just had it backwards though.Quote:

people reported that the F5e for the Extreme fixed the double cold boot that happens
the UD5, F5g BIOS seemed to fix the same problem, but i did not use it for very long because i could not resume from sleep with HT disabled :shrug:
Strange thing is that I could not resume from sleep mode with either F5f or g with HT on !!! so reverted to F5e which seems ok.Quote:

Ok got the board to boot up with turbo disable 20x multi with a bios reset but up to 190, nothing past that. any advice? maybe is the bios I'm using F5G. Can anyone post links to the F4N F4R bios for the UD5 please?

Yeah that's right, you couldn't resume from sleep if you have don't have HT on.Quote:

Can anyone with Dominator Memory and UD5 tell me if they have latency at 4, after resuming from Sleep ??? My memory latency drops to 4 after resuming from Sleep mode always.
yes it happens here too, nothing to really worry about (it's not really running cas4), it's just a false readingQuote:

So, I posted this in my own thread in another section of the forum, but nobody seems to be able to help me... So I'll try posting here.
I just purchased an EX58-DS4 mainboard and the build went very smoothly... I'm running bios F4... I booted into Windows, installed all the drivers off the CD, and my onboard ethernet went CRAZY!
on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off
I am worried there is something wrong with my board?
I went into BIOS and there's an option called "GREEN NIC" or something like that... Which according to the description in the bios, says it's for power saving and it will automatically disable the onboard NIC. Well... when that option is turned OFF the onboard NIC goes haywire... But if I enable that option, it seems to work.
But I don't want the nic to ever automatically turn off.
Anyone have ANY info on this at all?
Should I just go get another board and see if it behaves the same way?
-rob
If it's only doing it on one port, can you disable it in windows and just use the other one? I had to do this with a board years ago, came down to hardware interrupts or something (check process explorer)Quote:

it's only supposed to disable an ethernet port if it doesn't have a cable plugged in
I have some new memory arriving tomorrow - upgrading from 3x1gb 1066 to 2000.
I am trying to figure out how to go about ocing it based on current cpu oc, bclock and uncore.
I have a lot of options but it seems like the uncore speed is going to be my likely limiter.
At 200+ bclock I will want to run the mem mutli at 10 so that means the uncore multi needs to be at 21 right?
But 200x21 is uncore running at 4200 which it seems it will not do. :shakes:
So questions -
1. I assume cpu cycles are still king and that I do not want to give up on any of my cpu oc (almost 4.3 ht on, and 4.4 ht off).
2. How do I get the uncore speed high enough to run the memory at 2k?
That's why I'm so very confused...Quote:

I can only get the LAN to work if I enable the option. I'm very concerned. Is it a quirk? Should I reflash the bios? Should I go exchange the mainboard?
Yea I'm sure max CPU clock cycles are still king, it's hard to make full use of the bandwidth we already have at modest memory speeds.Quote:

As far as I can tell your only option to run the memory all the way to 2000 (under maximum system stress) is to keep bclk at 200, QPI at 4000 and Uncore at 4000 and pray. I bet you can get it rock solid in a 32-bit OS with HT off. :p:Quote:
