do you guys really notice much real world difference, other than benching, between 1600 and 1800 on the mem? I guess if you can go faster for little $ why not, eh? but I was just wondering..
My experience with i7 so far - you would never notice the diff except for benching - and even then not much in most benches - everest is one of the exceptions.Quote:

Hai, i want to Buy X58 , and i have 3 option Gigabyte,or maximus extreme or MSI Eclipse
I have Gigabyte P45 and i hate when use RAID, gigabyte first boot is very slow , meanwhile asus very fast (same ICH 9R ? ) and overcloking ASUS very stable, if failed overcloking, setting BIOS not reset (simple)
Now my question is, gigabyte X58 the best in model dan feature, but how about RAID ,is same with P45?and overcloking stability? can run 3,8Ghz 24/7 perfectly? (No cold Boot )
So i very want to hear from user2 who use gigabyte X58. Are You HAPPY Or Dissapointeed With This Mobo ?
Happy, but I don't use RAID anymore.
Happy, but I don't use RAID anymore.]
=================================================
Why? are because slow first boot like i say or RAID controler this mobo dont stable?
Gigabyte have 10 SATA meanwhile RAMPAGE just 7 , i scare if SSD more cpeap and i use 3x RAID, 2 DVD RW , 2 HD data, no place for SSD....
This is weakness of rampage....
Gigabyte x58 extreme can be No1 the best Of x58 board if this issue can fix (RAID and cold boot)
Hey, the Noctua is working great, cooling is about 1-2c better than my TRUE 120. :yepp: Also looks better, build quality is A+, doesnt get better than this, you get 2 fans, 2 very high quality fans, overall the Noctua is a much better deal, better mounting system as well.Quote:

So SATA controler Gigabyte for RAID have weakness?
Thanks for your share yukon trooper :up:, this will make me think twice buy gigabyte.... (to bad.. gigabyte have very good model and feature)
So what your opinion for the most stable and durable motherboard for X58? (beside overcloking/ for workstation) rampage extreme? EVGA X58?
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of going to water cooling but after your experience with the Noctua I do wonder if water is going to be worth the hassle and expense. I shall have to ponder this one a bit more.Quote:

Would you reckon this kit to be ok?

The Swiftech kit is great, but the rad is a bit lacking for the i7. They use a low profile(allot slimmer than regular) rad and while it does the job, it could be better. You might want to check the W/C forums here and get help with parting up a killer custom job.Quote:

Now the MCR320 is fine, but it's price according to it's performace...IE not the greatest, and I would take a HL Black Ice EXTREME3-BK rad any day of the weak. Only costs a few bucks more than the MCR320 ;)

i read in the thread that the board does the weird turnon, shut off, post, repost..then boot, this happens after being OC'ed. Is this normal, do most of them do it,im using the ud5. What are the max voltage settings for the qpi/vtt since i've read that 1.35 is the highest voltage in order not to damag the cpu but i cant seem to post at 200bclk with anything less than 1.42..all else is stock settings except the vcore of course. I can't really get any higher than 200 bclk with my ud5 no matter how high i set the qpi/vtt , even if i leave it on auto, any advice on what to do to get over 200 bclk. thanks alot for any assistance.
pre-boot QPI test, not unlike the pre-boot strap test that did the same thing back with the p35's and X38's. I've even had a P45 and X48 do it, but you never heard much about it.Quote:

What can i do to get over 200bclk as i cant seem to be able to boot above that clock speed no matter what i do to votlage. Any particular voltage setting.. ram/uncore multi..?
If you could, please list all of your settings (including multi's and volts) and we'll have a look at it for you.Quote:

I use 1.42 qpi/vtt and all else stock..excecpt vcore whichi requires 1.41 under load and in bios is set to 1.44 which is what the cpu uses during idle processing in windows.
How about the performance mode? Standard, Turbo or Extreme?Quote:

Ok i dont know what happened, i just set my qpi/vtt to 1.24 or whatever is on the picture and everything worked perfectly. I have the performance mode to standard and im running ram @ 1600 with 8X multi and the timings are 8-8-8-24 with 1.5v which is what my ocz gold are rated at.
QPI x36

By linx 20X do you mean running 15 or more passes of 17k problems at above 200 bclk.
Before i really wanted to know if i could run 1.42 qpi/vtt without doing any damage.. I was able to boot at 213 and the ram @ 1704.. man Im proud of this ram it was running @ 1650 undervolted.. and now its running @1704 and i set the voltage to 1.64 just to be safe it wouldn't fail.. its rated at 1600 mhz with 1.65 stock.. so far its performing great. So would it be ok to run 1.42 qpi ?? Thanks for the support.
Notice the cpu is not fully Oc'ed i just backed the multi down a bit to test only my NB/QPI, ram.
yomny which batch number do you have on your I 920. Look on the white sticker of the box of your cpu.
Thanks
p.s I'm still waiting on the answer to your question about QPI/vtt higher than 1.35.
3839a628, i was able to post and boot using 213*20 which gave me 4.26 but i needed a bit more than 1.41vcore to be stable and i dont want to push more until i water cool or know for sure if 1.42 qti/vtt is not doing much damage. Keep the info coming guys. Seems to be hard to get a straight answer when it comes to things such as this qti voltage, the max temp for I7 and the max vcore.
There is a straight answer and it's been made clear several hundred times on this site alone lol ;)Quote:

Use my advice at your own risk :)
So i guess then the most people cant really run using 4ghz on a 24/7 setup for a year or two since the required voltages for these are quite on the high end of the safe levels.. Good to know
So we've gone from keeping the QPI/VTT within .05v of the DRAM voltage to now keeping it .05v below CPU vCore? Is this in combination or are we now saying just keep it .05v below CPU vCore?Quote:

Personally, I would have no problem running it in low to mid 1.4's for 4ghz and some are, but just dont need to on mine... each person has to decide on their own risk tolerance.
And DRAM v should be within .5v of qpi/vtt, benching I am keeping mine within about .35.
Benching, between spi 32m, both chess stress test/benchmarks, cinebench, pc mark, etc, I probably have 24hrs+ at prime type loads with 1.96-2v DRAM (to get uncore at 4500mhz and mem at 2000mhz) and 1.62-1.64qpi/vtt, 1.66vcore...cpu still Oces at exact same settings. I wouldnt run these 24/7 or even close to it...but benching I have had no problems with those volts.
how do you get 1.35 for the qpi vtt? my bios only allows changes in .02 intervals on even numbers... 1.340 1.360 1.380 etc..
fyi, my 200x19 config passed with flying colors... so I backed my qpi off to 1.340... (from 1.360)
The Feser quad is working out very well, thank you for asking.Quote:

On the GB extreme bioses....F3 bios qpi/vtt goes 1.32, 1.34, 1.36, but all F4 bioses, and F5e which I am currently using goes 1.315, 1.335, 1.355, and I am using 1.355. As to why the change...have to ask GB on that one.Quote:

Thanks a mil for this little guide it's been quite helpful, im a bit confused though as to why some cpu's need qpi/vtt higher than others isn't the qpi/vtt a voltage that allows the boards to boot at higher bclk, or is this voltage setting communicating between the board's bclk(fsb) and the vtt of the cpu? sorry for some reason i think qpi is like FSB on previous chips and vtt is cpu termination voltage, normally these two wouldn't be together.Quote:
Originally Posted by rge

According to this up to 1.46 i think im still in the purple area. When i set the votlage settings to auto the board adjusted to 1.42 qpi to get to 213 bclk but it wouldn't adjust higher than that if i tried a higher bclk.
21 x 191 rock solid
20 x 200 no way
They are both 4GHz... WHY WHY WHY?
yeah, makes no sense, but many have seen same thing.Quote:

If using 23 (turbo) or 21 multi I can use roughly 7 notches lower vcore for the same mhz than using the stock 22 multi.
That is assuming in your case it is not also the bclk holding you back...but you could also try 19x211 and see.
I dont think anyone has explained it so that it makes sense ...to me anyways...but no question the issue is there.
Yes, I too can`t make 20X200 stable with the same volts as 21X191. 20X200 needs 1.44v load:down: and 21X191 needs just 1.36v for the same clock.Quote:

Hello !
I tried a lot of things with my i7 920 and EX58-UD5 but it seems I can't boot (the screen never turns on) with BCLK >= 187.
Here are my settings for 20*186 (ok), but 20*187 fails (19*187 too).
QPI x36
Uncore x14
RAM x8
8 8 8 21 1T
LLC : On
VCore : 1,4v
QPI/VTT : 1.36v
IOH : 1.2v
DRAM : 1.64v
QPI PLL : 1.2v
ICH Core : 1.2v
CPU PLL : 1.88v
I tried even higher voltage but it just does not turn the screen on. The only way I found is to set QPI on Slow Mode... Do you think I should try a different setting for something ? Or test something ? I would like to know if the CPU or the Motherboard is the problem...
At the moment, my 24/24 OC is 21*181 (=3.8Ghz) with VCore 1.375v, QPI/VTT 1.34v, Uncore *18 and RAM*8. I already tested my Ram @800Mhz 8 8 8 21 1T 1.64v so I don't think it is the problem.
BIOS : F5g (same thing with F5C or F4e)
Thanks for any advice :)
I can't do 20x200 either - something weird about that.Quote:

I am sure the Bermuda Triangle is responsible.
It is likely your cpu, simply got a low bclk one. I will assume you have a Gigabyte mobo, since you posted here...and ?UD5.Quote:

My guess is it will fail, or make it to 188 or 190, then fail...your practical limit you have probably already found, just got unlucky with cpu lottery regarding bclk. But you can try those settings just to see. Also can try F3 bios, I know it is not bclk limited, as their are some bioses that are, and I am not familiar with ones you are using...you have diff GB mobo than me.
Soooo... winblows had an update for me this am... well, three, but one of them was for "realtek ethernet" drivers... which promptly broke both my nics... I was able to roll the driver back easily, but wtf? anyone else get and have issues with this update? it was for vista64.
Again one of the reasons I turn off automatic updates and select them myself, in fact my XP64 has never received an update...with Vista it's required

finally got my cpu to 4ghz stable, 21x191 got me there with 1.392v at 100% load.:clap:
Me too, i can`t get stable with 20 x 200, but 21 x 191 is stable with lower vcore. :mad::eek::mad:Quote:

I had a strange crash today. I was playing DOWII and the system locked up. It was running 3.8 GHz stable for a week now.
But after that crash i could not boot anything above stock speeds (CPU MHz)
I think its fragged somehow. I will try to flash the bios to see if that helps but i think something broke down. Max temp where 60c. V-core was 1.35v in bios witch will give 1.28-1.3v load. VTT @ 1.22 nothing special there. Ram voltage 1.64v.
Its eighter the CPU or the board got fragged badly.
You could try taking the bios battery out and leaving it out overnight as this sometimes re sets the board to factory condition - which may or may not do the trick. Worth a try though.Quote:

does is matter what kind of i920 i get or are they all gonna oc the same
I am so frustrated trying to figure out whos values to u, there are so many post with all the bios setting, i am looking for a descent i920 oc to 3.8-4 ghz, on air.

As you can see I am using mostly auto settings and really only changing the multi to 19x, Bclk to 200, Turbo off, and Vcore to 1.33125. Everything else is auto. I hit a real wall trying to get to 4.0 ghz from both a temp and BSD/POST perspective. Only switching to the F5 series Bios made this possible but I am sure I could go higher if I go down the water cooling path as SteveRo did.Quote:

I hard set my mem timings to 9-9-9-24 1t and disabled pretty much everything in the "advanced cpu settings" area.. these settings may or may not work with your board / cpu / mem but it should help you along the way... if you intend to leave HT on, you'll likely need a little more vcore than I am using.. like 1.325 or so.. maybe higher even.. you'll have to test it out. your mem might like a little more vdimm also.. I see lots of people using 1.66 vdimm, but I didn't need to run mine that high.. ymmv
good luck!
you guys are freaking so awesome man, i mean i just freaking love you guys. I will apply the settings as soon as I get the memory. thanks again doggies.
how f5g working out
I have a new toy to play with over the coming weeks.
Need to insulate the mobo and cpu first, planning on going subambient, at least for testing.
Flat out and sweating I expect the boreas to get cpu temps down close to single digit C at idle and ??? at load.
I will probably start a new thread over in the tec cooling forum, first pics :) -
SteveRo, interested to see what it will do for your clocks and vcore requirement, keep us posted.
I have been on F5f bios for extreme since last night....all memory secondary timings for my memory are same as F5e, vcore requirement for 4.2 is same, same stability on prime, dont see any noticeable cosmetic differences. I can only assume some bug fixes, dont know about any resume fix since my computer never sleeps, just the monitor, but it works as well as F5e did, so will keep it on mine.
haha SteveRo that is really nice, I can't wait to see the results.
How do I flash my bios without a floppy with Qflash? I've tried it and will not detect my usb stick.
anyone ?
thanks
The usb probably needs to be fat32 formatted. :)Quote:

Not for the Qflash utility. Just put the bios file on a usb drive formatted with fat32. Then boot into the bios, load the utility, select the file and it does it all from there.Quote:

I asume MFT doesn't work on GB's solution, but even then the scores are crap for a ramdisk (acard 9010).
Is the GB solution really so bad?
Ok maybe the drive was not formatted as FAT32 from factory. Will try that today.Quote:

So is anyone using the AHCI for their drives, or is it not worthwhile? I have had it both ways, not sure there is really any performance bonus to speak of. I know that the AHCI bios detecting drives BS is getting on my nerves, why the hell can't it remember what drives are connected instead of making my boot time 15 sec longer :mad:
I haven't had a lot of time to play around, 180x20 went pretty smooth, but getting to 190 has been a mass of BSODs. I've never seen this many blue screens trying to tune a board. On all my other boards the stress testing app would let me know there was an error, this board just gives a BSOD or reboots itself :( It's kind of frustrating, tuning is a lot harder when the machine hides information from you. Maybe I am having more trouble since I am using 6GB with HT still turned on, it seems a lot of folks are only running 3GB.
