I'm just going for some benches, this isn't for 24/7. I know components vary but every review of the Viper II kit has them doing 2100 9-9-9 on stock volts, so somthing else must be up.

I'm just going for some benches, this isn't for 24/7. I know components vary but every review of the Viper II kit has them doing 2100 9-9-9 on stock volts, so somthing else must be up.
Yo guys,
I am planing to raise the PCIe frequency up to 11o MHz.
Is there any voltage I have to raise up as well?
Hi just got me new ud7 board today i have a 980x cpu and Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 2000MHz if anyone has a simular hardware to mines.If so can u post youe settings my memory was only showing 1333 when it should be 2000mhz for some reason.I was also looking at the posts on this thread saying new bios out f7 i had a look on gigabyte site and there latest bios was showing f6 for this board is f7 beta?.
The sticks are only going to run 1333 on stock settings, you'll have to either enable XMP or manually adjust the settings to get them at DDR3-2000.
I did enable xmp but it did not post so cleared CMOS then it started back again I'm very new to this bios had a striker extreme 2 before which was quite easy bios this one looks complicated. I will do some reseach on it .
On which BIOS you are now?Quote:

whats a good ram for the UD7 ,
G SKILL Perfect Storm F3-16000CL8T-6GBPS 8-8-8-21
Or
Dominator GT CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 PC3-16000 6GB Kit 8-8-8-24
if there is better as similar timing please recommend
Either of those should be good, or any other kit using Elpida Hyper chips (the fixed ones) rated DDR3-2000 8-8-8 or even 7-7-7 if you can find some.Quote:

After some tedious ":banana::banana::banana::banana:in'Around", here's my situation:
I click "sleep" (windows 7, x64), the computer shuts down, reboots by itself after a 3-4sec delay.
If I close the power switch on the PSU and re-open it right away, it reboots. If I let the LEDs die on the board THEN re-open the switch, the board powers-up but the computer doesn't reboot. After either one of those scenarios, I get back into win7 with a "resuming windows" screen, as expected from either hibernate or sleep.
Why the reboot when power is left on?
Is it normal for this board to take a good 15 seconds to boot up into bios info
The board goes thru full post and controller init THEN takes you to BIOS. It's kind of backwards compared to going straight to BIOS after DEL is pressed in initial booting screen... You can speed this up by disabling E-Sata ctrl, port 8-9 ctrl, port 6-7 ctrl and using the "quick post" option. That'll shave about 5sec overall.Quote:

I am hitting 3.8 at 1.20625 (default!) VCore and 1.255V QPI. 20 passes of Linx,stable! CPU temp. is app. 58C. My C0 took 1.30V core and 1.43V VTT at 3600...
Let's see what this baby can pull off...
Here's the batch number if you're curious: #3944A827, pack date: 12/04/2009
:up:
Edit:
I just noticed the batch number on CPU and package don't match. The one on the chip is #3942A459 :shrug:
Anybody on F7n BIOS? :cool:
Edit:
Already is F7p !
Hi guys i updated my bios to f7j and used hicookie 4.2ghz bios settings recomended by stasio. As he has the same cpu as me and is memory@2000 to.

I hit the save and exit and nothing it would not start up just fans all running and no post.So did a clr cmos and fired up again settings went back to default so thought lets give it another go.Well this time round it did start and boot up in to windows which was cool.I ran prime95 for stabilty test it ran for like 7mins then core to failed.Temps where getting very high at one point under the stress test like 70 when not stressed there at around 35 39 as im watercooled how high can this chip take the heat?.Well anyway done a restsrt to see if it would start back up and same think black screen all powers running no post.So hit the power switch turned it off and powered back up posted but i got a msg saying system failed due to overclocking press any key to continue mind u the settings where changed for me again grrrrrrrrrrrr.Is this bios f7j the latest one i can beleave how long this m/b takes to post beep before the ud7 wallpaper comes up then it hangs again before it does its tests before u see the windows logo come.
From where can we get F7p bios? and what changes it have?Quote:

and still no one who can explain me what these jzelectronic bios from Germany are??
are they hacked bios? what's different?
They didn't make,they are just inform Taiwan what they should change and send back to them to check.Then they give access to new BIOS to their customers first.Quote:

Is it just me Only grouch i have with my UD7 is the errors about overclocking failed when i start the machine up after a night of it being off. Then i gotta clear error from the MIT page and just save and exit. No problems afterwords .. overclocks are stable and no issues with the settings. Only happens If I restart it and if it's been off for ages .
Sounds like you need to still tinker with settings a bit, it doesn't sound as stable as you think it is because I have never seen this issue at all myself (Even with semi-unstable settings)

@ kullymontana - what are you using for cooling?
980's oc very well due to 32nm but also (in the long run) could be a bit more sensitive to high temps and v's for the same reason.
Looks like one thing NOT to do is to drop down to single cpu, leave all cpu's running - somefolks have instantly broke their 980's doing this.
Intel max v's are vcore and vtt up to 1.4v and cpu pll up to 2v - so you have lots of head room here - provided your cooling can handle it.
also -
CPU Clock Drive-----------------------------------------[700mV] make 900mv
PCI Express Clock Drive----------------------------[700mV] make 900 mv
edit -
Re your memory settings - set you settings manually - Vddq (dram voltage) to 1.66v up to 1.8v if you have sufficient memory cooling.
mem multi at 10x for 200 bclock is good, 8-8-8-24 1T set manually and reduce timings only after you have a solid cpu clock
qpi speed is better at 20 if you can do it - performance should be better vs 16x. This will llikely require you to raise your vtt v.
Also basic question - why 200 bclock - much easier to find max cpu oc if you stress only the cpu.
Maybe take advantage of that unlocked mullti you paid for when you bot the 980?
For 4.2 something like - 30x140.
For 4.3 something like - 30x144
I bench my 980 @ 30x160 quite a bit with no problems (cooling via chilled water).
Thanks for the advice steveRo i am watercooled so do have some headroom regarding heat.I had two 280gtxs in the board so i could not see the post led took the one out.It seems to me the issues im having the mb not posting when i restart is the memory post led stays on c1.i will try your settings and let u know how i get on but getting this memory to run 2000mhz is driving me insane board says it can and corsair says it can so where am i going wrong.:down:
focus on cpu first that is most important - cpu speed is king al others come secondary
big memory speed/tight timings on i7/x58 can increase overall speed in some workloads but - surprisingly - not that many
get your cpu clock solid first then work on memory, vc, storage, ...
Good advice as always Steve.Quote:

Im gonna prime95 it @stock for cpu and stock for memory@2000 dam these chips get hot even @low vcore hey compared to 45nm cpus.

so i guess its ok at stock settings at least we know that now we can play around with o/c
is 30x140 faster then 21x200?Quote:

some folks think higher bclock is better because you are ocing more than just the cpu - a larger set of the subsystems are running faster not just the cpu.
Truthfully though, I have not seen any difference in performance between low multi high bclock vs high multi low bclock as long as the result was the same cpu clock.
Maybe others can chime in on this.
I have Rma this board back for a refund nothing but a nightmare to work with .Maybe I got a faulty one anyways I have decided to lean towards the asus rampage 3 hope I have better luck with that one.Thanks for all your surport .
Hey kullymontana, why RMA? Looked like you were making progress above.
Sorry for my late reply! A new board is only going to take you a while to get going too, same as this was, you just need to get used to it is all.
This could be good advice. Don't know what problems made kelly montanna give up so soon ?????Quote:

Yes the UD7 is a great board. I was satisfied.
Currently board automatically restarts under load(linx or occt) then boots again.
Flashed the latest beta bios and the problem still occurs.
I have a question. Is UD7 have speedstep technology? I cant see this option in bios.
Yoh guys,
I set the DRAM-Voltage up to 1.64v but how high am I supposed to set the DRAM-Termination-Voltage? I heard it should be half of the DRAM-Voltage that means 0.82v. Am I right or wrong?
http://www.abload.de/img/terminationqokl.png
Fritz,
no matter what I do, the termination voltages won't show right in ET6. Set them manually in your BIOS and dismiss them...mine are at 0.84 and the RAM voltage at 1.68. Tho the readings being a bit below what you're setting there. 1.66 gives me 1.63 or so...
Oh one thing I noticed too, after setting the six values in the BIOS to 0.84 (50% of the RAM voltage) they seem to snap to the RAM voltage and adjust automatically when changing it up and down :up:
Those 0.75V come from the JEDEC that's setting the standards for memory types. Normal DDR3 voltages would be 1.5V usually. And the references are 50% of that. Other boards like the ASUS P6T series uses percentages as settings, which is IMHO more elegant to work with. Gigabyte gives you the bland display of voltages instead. It has been a bit of a hassle in the past with socket 775 systems, their GTL bus used reference lines like DDR2/3 RAM. Gigabyte had voltages, ASUS used percentages just like Intel's spec papers did.
Go to M.I.T then select "Advanced CPU Features".Quote:

Last night I reinstalled the X58A-UD7 and was playing around with 3dmark 06, I hope to break 30k tonight with sli 260's.
I'm guessing this could be due some mechanical and/or faulty damage probably one of voltage regulator or even more. Did you looked for any physical damages on mbo itself?Quote:

(I enabled it).
I had Exactly the same issue you had , 9 days of Double boot from cold but run fine on over-clock settings when i rebooted , prime,gpu-z ect all fine even temps were fine. i pulled HDD's,swapped mem, updated Beta bios's ect absolute nightmare :(..
it was just that Double boot reset and MIT defaulting from overnight , day to day Mb run fine.
i swapped the UD7 , since then no issues. the fault was that Random you would know it was the Board , no error codes on led nothing , only thing on this Ud7 is the led Volt lights on default were off , on the old Ud7 the DRR were at max load.. imop it was some sort of volt regulator issue .. i no one thing i aged after that problem , and i have had a few hardware issues over then years, but this has tobe top of the list or very near.
also your the First i have seen posted, with Exact same issue i had and were talking google search ect ..
good to see you sorted issue though ,and just wanted you to no it was a Hardware issue and not your overclock :)

As a result of bios engineers messing with llc in f7p I find at idle my rig is a lot less stable and needs more vcore than previous bios. Still stable under load though
I have tried F7p f7m but only F6 is full stable for me at 4,2 24/7 and at 4.4oc for test. I can make it stable on any other bios:)
I dropped back to f4 for this reasonQuote:

F7p seams to be using Intel's recommendations for LLC=standard, which always had a big vdroop on UD7.
So, if you are using LLC=standard, you have to increase the BIOS-set and it will result in higher idle vCore on F7p.
I haven't tested the stability throughly yet, just had some quick tests, and it seams to be stable with the same load vCore on my setup.
Hi everyone, this is my first post and i hope that some one can help my on my problem.
I've got some trouble with my bios configs (F6), every time when I'm playing BF Bad company 2 i've got random BSOD, but on running Prime95 it stay stable.
My rig config is:
I7 930 @ 4200 watercooled
Gigabyte UD7
Ripjaws PC3-1280 C8
HD 5870 watercooled
And bios config at the moment is:
I already try many different voltages configs but unfortunately the problem stays, BSOD :(Code:Advanced CPU Features:

What are these 900 mv values based on? I'm just curious. Personal testing? Intel references?Quote:

trying to figure out where the QPI voltage should be. It appears that 1.4v might be a tad too low; I'm occasionally getting errors in the 'blend'
test of Prime95. Although once I put the 900 mv values in the above two spots in the BIOS I haven't encountered another Prime95 error using
1.4v QPI.
What QPI are other users having success with the 980-x, 12GB RAM, and 1600MHz+ RAM speeds?
I'm staying with F7p for now, I noticed the need for more VCore but it's not that bad.Quote:

I've got a huge vdroop on my UD7 as well (using standard LLC), not so sure about the new layout though, looks like my P55-UD6 board :)Quote:

[QUOTE=ABalthazor;4435761]What are these 900 mv values based on? QUOTE]
Good morning,
For me, running these at 900mv has provided more stable cpu oc's and has also enabled significant overclock of pcie speeds.
Using an Areca 1231ml4g h/w raid controller, I have been able to get pcie 119 (stock is 100) pcmv stable - resulting in some very nice pcmv scores -

Any changes?Quote:

The RAM-speed doesn't have to be the biggest problem, the high Uncore needs high VVT. You could use x10 RAM with x16 Uncore on 980x, if you want high RAM speeds. Or you could use 1600MHz RAM with tight timings too, you won't notice any difference for 24/7 use.Quote:

Thanks, my uncore default was 21x w/ a 14 RAM multiplier, I may just drop to 1600 MHz and effectively decrease the uncore while I'm at it. Or play around with the best setup that allows me to keep VTT to < 1.4Quote:

Remember when i7 1st came out - intel told us all that the sky would fall on us if we used higher than 1.6v memv and running over that turned out to be no big deal (at least so far).
This seems to be the consensus, and these processors are just too expensive to risk.Quote:

Interestingly, when I manually set the RAM to a lower multiplier (12 vs. 14) the timings dropped by themselves when using an XMP profile for the timings. They're now set to 8-8-8-24 vs. 9-9-9-27. I can't find 8-8-8-24 in any of the RAM SPD settings, so I guess that is coming from the motherboard? Weird.
This 980x and UD7 are new installations; I re-used my 5970s and RAM from an EVGA board. I'm still testing stock settings to establish baselines.
When comparing Company of Heroes benchmarks, my current 980x/UD7 rig was getting really low minimum frame rates - around 4 FPS - compared to my previous setup, where my min FPS ranged from 50-90.
Reducing the memory speed, the uncore, and the VTT voltage resulted in an increase in my min FPS in this benchmark up to the expected range - in this case, 67 FPS. So I'd say I was definitely running with some instability trying to get 12GB RAM to run that fast with the 980x, and that instability contributed to the exceptionally low min. FPS results.
In reviewing settings in EasyTune6, I'm seeing the IOH Core voltage as set to 1.14V (with a 'power on' voltage of 1.2v.)
Where is this 1.14v coming from? I have it set to Auto in BIOS, and in BIOS it states that the 'normal' setting as being 1.1v.
Does 'Auto' change the IOH based on the number of or type of PCIE devices or something?
Just wondering what other users are experiencing. I'm still at stock, establishing my stable baseline.

Anyone have issues pushing Elpida Hyper-based kits to DDR3-2100+ on this board with higher BCLK like 210? I'm trying to figure out if it's my CPU or the mobo. I've tried VTT up to 1.65v without a lot of success. Does CPU skew help any?
I'm getting this problem as well, Adding an extra 2minutes to my boot time is a bit annoying.Quote:

Now this is happening with my latest (the UD7) Did you find out if it was anything specific on the motherboard that caused the issue? maybe loose connections or CPU seating?
I don't understand how it could be - if it boots fine from cold with default settings, it has to be something to do with the BIOS, right?
Thanks,
Tom
So do you know the long term degradation effect of hight VTT on 45nm already?:shrug:Quote:

That's OK for 45nm.Quote:

The PC boots fine and my old settings working fine, just curious about this thing.
Have you guys tried the UD9 yet! :D It's so awesome! 4-way watercooled cards at 1.14v

thats max u need with HT off( why OFF?)!
What drivers u r using for ur ati card? I had BSOD on 10.4, now i have random crashes to windows on 10.6.
+1 with Klataa - those v's seem too high to me also.
also -
CPU Clock Drive ..............................[700]
PCI Express Clock Drive ................... [700]
I run these at 900 - seems to help cpu stability and pcie oc.
pcie oc doesn't seem to do that much for vc oc but it can really increase the speed of the storage subsystem - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcmv=333089

p.s
i want to buy a PsyhX like 9800GT or somethnig. But after that my pcix will work like 16x16 + PsyhX or 16x8x8?
@klataa -
I have single 5870
Are your runing oc'd?, try adjusting one at a time to find the culprit: vc core clock, vc mem clock, fan on full blast?, vc voltage - likely it is one of these.
Could be outside the video sybsystem but check VS first.
If you have everthing at stock on the vc's and you still have the problem then you need to look elsewhere - cpu oc? mem oc? sufficient powersupply?
I feel for ya - these things are very hard to diagnose.
My cards are stock. Cpu is solid stable mems are stock 1600 cl7 qpi is 1.335. Before ati i had 295 wich was also solid stable. I gues that this is driver issue. My powersuply is 1100w its quite old but still i have lots of W:) ill wait for next 10.7 meaby they will help!Quote:
