Anyone have GTX480 SLI probs with this board? Like "display driver has crashed and recovered" sort of errors during video playback?
Hello,
It's not much, but I've been trying to get 4 Ghz stable on my previous C0 chip and again on my pretty fresh D0, and I finally succeeded. It appears that the F7P and F7R BIOSses were to blame.
With the F7 betas I kept having random calculation errors at 4 GHz, 1.31V VCore. They were appearing in my Linx runs usually after the 10th pass and nothing could get rid of them. This effect vanished completely after I reverted to F6 yesterday. IMHO even 4.2 GHz should be possible but the needed voltage of at least 1.36 feels too brutal to me for 24/7 use.
I also observed larger voltage variations under load on F7 beta and LLC2, the measured voltage rising above the set one. (1.31 idle, 1.33 load). It overall seems to confirm what other F7/D0 owners observed earlier. My chip has passed more than 100 linx runs by now without error at 20x200.
I can post a template if anybody is interested.
Nice CPU! and temps too:) What Vtt did u used to make it stable at 4500?
Only 1.3v VTT
Have u tryed changing your Ioh voltages and what not? Changing the values a tiny bit helps..Quote:

Have u tryed flashing to a newer version of the bios? I know the latest version is the R, im actually using the f7b, seems like the best bios for this board released so far!
Anyone know when Gigabyte will Make Official new bios? its almost 3 months and still official is F6:)
At the moment the F6 is the better. I can stay 4400 Rock Solid with my 980x only with that bios.
I've recently upgraded to a UD6 (from S775 asus board). One thing that bothers me though is the fact that the speeds on my intel SSD (xm-25) are much lower now. Also the Intel SSD optimizer in the intel SSD toolbox says there is an error and it can't optimize. Could it be that the speeds are lower because USB3.0 is enabled?
I just flashed lates beta bios F7r moded version, it's working fine for now. I did quick test with LinX on same settings and seams to be fine. I'm using i7 920 with LLC 2. I flashed from F7F. Only thing that bothers me for now with this bios is that my Lycosa and Lachesis lights are blinking when I enter MIT setting (voltage and current settings) in bios. I don't like it flashing like that. :D
Is your Intel SSD connected to the ICH10 SATA ports? Because if not there might be an incompatability between the Intel Toolbox and whatever SATA controller you are using. You could try swiching over to the ICH10 SATA ports if that is the case.Quote:

I've had much trouble even getting windows installed with this board which may be because of my 1333Mhz OCZ RAM. Found stable settings... got my 875k running and a mild overclock atm (3,7Ghz) which was 20 runs all RAM linx stable. Just the random read from crystaldisk is now only 180Mb/s where it used to be 260 previously.
edit: oops i just noticed i put this in the wrong thread. sry for that.
edit2: Just fyi. When putting SATA3 on Gen2 (??) in BIOS my SSD speeds are much higher so indeed it seems USB3.0 is affecting SATA speeds potentially!
Sam..
You got PM
Just got tow of these babies for my SR-2 build, but that's not here and trying on UD7.
Both X5650 A0-ES are stuck at x18 Uncore, but my good old B1 ES has unlocked.
The temp under Prime-Run is hinger than other CPUs, because I run out of goop. Not easy to jo-jo change 3 CPUs on the same MB. :p:
Just got it up and running, still testing, but so far so good.
X5650 @4.0GHz(200x20) 1.21v , VVT=1.32v
http://img.techpowerup.org/100625/Capture193.jpg
everytime i flash my bios with this board it works but always get a Checksum error 5400, have no idea what it means..
I recently ran the DPC Latency Checker to check my system. It showed a DPC Latency spike every 60 seconds, which coincidentally is the hardware polling period set in EasyTune (I use EasyTune to fine-tine my PWM CPU fan.)
Exiting EasyTune stopped the DPC Latency spikes. So, if anyone is using EasyTune, you might consider moving to Speedfan or another alternative for PWM fan control.
Question : how bad is the performance hit in daily apps when you hit a DPC spike ?
It doesn't seem to affect benchmarks, but I did notice a reduction in 'lag incidents' when playing Company of Heroes online. I wouldn't have suspected EasyTune as a contributing factor to online lag incidents, but it may have at least contributed.
Thx for the reply, might be worth a check
What would be the best version of BIOS at the moment? Thanks!
Alot of people saying Fr bios.. but i actually found the beta bios F7B to be way more stable and more overclock friendly..
I didnt try F7r but best for me is F6.Quote:

Does anyone know which three temps are reported by Speedfan for the UD7?
Temp 2 is almost certainly CPU. Temp 1 might be MCH. Not really sure on Temp 3.
I tried one of the F7 betas a while back and reverted to F6x. Best for me so far.Quote:

silence is golden.
edit: just a pity the chipset block didn't have 1/2" barbs,
instead i split my flow to NB and video/ram.
I wouldnt exchange my rev1.0 for a new board, this board works awesome, I have 0 complaints with it. This and the P55A UD6 are the 2 best boards I have owned. :yepp:
Well 1 complaint, the pcie x1 slot is blocked and pretty much useless for my sound card, but thats the only thing.
I have CF and my pci stot cant be used:( I had to sell my Sound Blaster Xfi Fatality:(Quote:

Did Gigabyte do some downgrades on 2.0 UD7? From 24 phases to just 16? WTF? And they also got rid of watercooling support for the northbridge heatsink, thats less than impressive.
UD9 came in for WC ,but i call its an improvement UD5 too has 16 phases ...... With rev 2.0 gigabyte is using new phase technology as Direct MOS & several others :up:
I used crossfire for 3d benching only so I uninstalled the x-fi for that. Normally I just run a single card. The design could have been better thought out though. That is one of the things I like about the RIIE board, it has a better layout, but the UD7 has been much better for overclocking at least for me.Quote:

I wasn't coming on here for help RE: the UD7 m8y. I was just making a comment RE: the USB issues on the UD7, as it appears the UD9 is suffering from the same
However, this might help you UD9 users. Disable the Sata 3 ports & the Gigabyte IDE ports & the USB should be fine. I flashed this UD7 to Bios F7J & lost the keyboard during a desktop session. What a nightmare gettng USB working again for reverting back to F6.
Anyway, it's as good as it can be atm but this board is being RMA'd for another X58 brand & Gigabyte will be billed for the EK Chipset waterblocks. Even my USB CF & other card slots are now showing. If I don't come back in this thread to edit this post, you all know my Lian Li Card reader even survived a cold boot for disabling the Sata 3 & GigaCrap Sata headers.....ffs!
Thanks for the link too, but that's one forum I won't be signing up for.
Charlie
*Edit*
The card reader did survive one cold boot since disabling the Sata 3 & GigaCrap SATA headers. However, I just went to load my Cruzer 4Gb Sandisk pen drive affair & notice all the other Card reader slots have dissapeared again. :rofl:
Has anybody noticed that the CPU power phases were reduced to 16 from the 24 if Rev. 1? Not neccessarily such a setback, but stripping down power phases on one end AND having the 980X mod for 6 GHz in it feels a bit inconsequent....Anyway I won't change.
Is there possibly the newer Northbridge step C2 on the board?
Yeah the new revision board does look very disappointing, unless if I'm missing something why did Gigabyte downgrade the power phases to 16? From my point of view the UD5 2.0 is a better buy at this point. And I wish Gigabyte would fix the PCI-E slots layout.
I asked this question on the UD9 thread.Quote:

I'm not sure how this new design changes things and my UD7 ver 1.0 hasn't let me down so far, therefore some figures might be needed to show the benefits.
I have read a UD9 review (new 24 phase version) which didn't show any remarkable benefits over an ASUS board at Hexus.net unless you are keen on extra PCIe x16 slots.
I hasten to add that I'm not that technical and could have missed something :yepp:
Yo guys,
I cleaned up my case yesterday and took out the mem. and all the other stuff.
After it I took all modules back into the slots 1-3-5, hooked them up like it is supposed to but only 2048 MB are recognized by the BIOS. The BIOS shows up:
http://www4.pic-upload.de/thumb/11.0...nwrw9q4xpf.jpg
How can I make the system accepting 6 GB RAM again?
I am running 9-9-9-24 CR 1. I changed to CR 2 but it doesnīt make a difference.:confused:
mate can you resize your pics? Its really hard seeing them.. use imageshack.com
Yo man,
I made a CMOS-Reset, changed the modules and the channels.:shakes: Back to 1-3-5 only 2048 MB is recognized.
What am I supposed to do?:confused:
guys
the new UD7 VRM is an improvement over the old one. We've changed the MOSFETS on the board to beefier ones...they are driver MOSFETS and true 16phase design. UD7 stays on the 8 layer PCB as well
the new VRM should shine with high load Gulftown LN2 benching but on normal use you won't really notice any difference.
This is also an industry first redundant VRM design comprised of 8+8phases switching on every reboot and if one was to fail the second would kick in and keep going :up:
:up:
this is a normal occurrence in i7 unfortunately that can be a pain in the assQuote:

i would advise remounting CPU after you clean the pads with alcohol and DO NOT overdo the mount pressure......install memory one by one and watch the boot RAM quantity as you do
i would also suggest testing each stick separately just in case something went bad as well as revisiting your volts in bios and checking what your VTT in particular is running at as well as vdimm
Sorry for the nop-question. Which pads do you mean?
I think you are on the right way because you did not know that I have changed the cpu cooler before. But I have removed the paste from the cpu as well and put some new on it.
Do you think I over screwed the pressure.
basically underneath the CPU
what usually happens is either you touch it and dirty some of them or overtighten the mount.......might take you a lot of tries but im sure you will get it up and running
just about to buy this board guys....wanted to know that would it be able to hold 3x480's in tri-sli watercooled? my main concern is that if all cards would fit in or not
yes it will as long as you dont have a cramped case cause the last slot as you can see in the image is at the end of pcb if you know what i mean.....
you need a case with 8 expansion slots in order to run 3 dual slot cards with this board, and no room for a sound card. you said water cooled though so maybe ok with 7 slots in the case
Im gonna be housing all this in the silverstone tj07. It has 7 slots so should it be ok? If not then ill have to go with 2x480's
Reseat your CPU.Quote:

Yo guys!
The problem is solved. It has been one fu**** bended PIN. I really donīt know how this happened cause I canīt remember having even touched the pins of the socket when I changed the cooler. What ever the system is running again like it should.
Thank you guys for your advises especially that the problem might be cpu or board related:up:
@dinos22 you will get a friendship request; as long as you donīt mind that Germany won the soccer world champion ship against Australia 4:0:rofl:

This board is hammered with a 30 second dealy for Post Screen, let alone the 20 + second dealy @ veryfying DMI pool data.
I've never experienced such :bs: since the bad old Giga-Cr4p AMD days ffs.
This is terrible. - WTF!? - or do I just have a dodgey board with these delays? :shrug:
The previous Bios versions do not invoke a dotted pause @ the Veryfying DMI Pool prompt.

F7t is official Gigabyte Beta BIOS, it does appear to break USB Keyboard support so, so any USB Keyboard users be warned and maybe pass until the next round.
G11 here so I know for sure that is broke, as MS Natural Ergo 4000 too I believe so I am sure there are others as well
Try f7b, fixes it.. i believe it could be a problem with the logitech "g series" keyboards.. :shrug:Quote:

I have a question about the the pins where you plug in the pwr and reset leads from my pc case to the mobo. I have 3 gpus 5970+2*5870s and when I put the 3rd gpu in it will not slide into the pice slot due to leads from my case going to the pwr/reset/hd led/pwr led. Is it advisable to bend those pins down so I can fit the card or just use the pwr reset button on the mobo itself. The plastic things that slide into the pins on the mobo cannot be shortened. Sorry for the NOOB question Any advise would be appreciated.
I had the same problem with 3 cards, I wouldnt bend the pins(just my opinion) I run an open case so I just used the onboard power and reset switches.Quote:

is that ud7 rev2?
Nice chip, for me @ 4.4 requires 1.35 pi/vtt and 1.31 vcore..
Thanks guys, its a rev1 board. Its been a very good board, very little to complain about.
Hi Guys,
I have been trying for the last few days to get this board upto 4/4.2ghz with 12gb of ram, and so far have
not had much luck... and was wondering if anyone could give me a few tips getting it booting/stable.
If im honest i will try to list the things i have tried so far, but there have been soo many suggestions idea's
i have tried i might be here forever listing them... So it might be better if someone could work through it again so
i might find find something i have missed.
At the minute i have tried using the template found on this forum, which a few of you have posted, and trying
to work forward from there, this is listed below.
:brick:
with these settings it wont boot, not even the boot logo... and sometimes leads to a irq_less_nor_equal bsod, however if i lower blk to 195 it does boot, but not really
very stable. Additionally, I have since tested the memory in both settings and both pass memtest.

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 (Rev.1)
12gb Corsair (CMX6GX3M3A1600C9)
Enermax 1000w
I would raise the vcore about two or three steps. Maybe the vtt needs a little more too. Lower the cpu clock drive to 800 mV.
I wouldnīt run Load Line Calibration Level 2;:shocked: use the level 1 it is safer for your cpu
By the way; Have you ever tried to run your system with 6 gb instead of 12
I agree with Fritz the germ, try getting 6gb stable and learn the chip and board first, then moe up to 12. I am working on a new 930 also, this is benchable but havent done any major stability testing, a few passes linx only and some BF2. This is how I have my bios setup, each chip is different so you may need more or less vcore and vtt, but this is a good place to start. Leave advanced clock control default-800/900/0, shouldnt need tp change it for 4200. Of course set your ram voltage and timings to its specs.

Thanks guys,
well i have adjusted the settings to match oc nub, and removed 6gb of ram... unfortunatly its doing its black screen thing on me again,
it gets as far as "windows error recovery" and stops.
I know im always close but cant seem to figure it out, hopefully with your help i might be able to get there...
:lol2:
I knw what your saying about all chips/boards varying in some way and have noticed that the starting value for cpu vCore seems a tad higher by default than most of the peoples/guides/threads, mine is around 1.25625v... im not sure if thats the deciding factor to why i seem to be getting such different results...

Go up on vcore 2 bumps/nothces at a time in bios and get to windows using only 6gb, you may need a bump or 2 in vtt also. Once in windows run a few tests and see how it does, you can use et6 for the minor tweaks to get stable. Once stable then work on 12gb.Quote:

Go up 100mhz at a time until it fails, then adjust voltages as needed. Its a good way to learn what your chip likes and doesnt like without just throwing volts at it in hopes something works.
