Hi All.
My last test on 980X, using Cooler Master V8:D

Can you post your bios settings that you used to get 4.7ghz stable. I can get 4.6ghz stable but am having issues with 4.7ghz. Thanks
Nice core speed, But definately fix your ram speed and IMC speed.. I can hit low 8's with my i7 930 @ 4.4 Super PI 1M, You should be smashing my score..Quote:

It has been done for years on previous platforms...and I've been doing it on at least a dozen chips 24/7 up to 1 1/2 years. It is NOT a problem if you don't do hilarious stuff like running >1.4Vcore 24/7. Keep in mind, most boards don't even have an intermediate level 1.
Anything beyond 1.35V is likely to lead to overheating on air anyway.
Yo Amurtigress,
I donīt argue.
But it is a matter of fact that level 1 is safer than level two. Disabling the LLC sets the VDroop following Intel specs. Itīs better safe than sorry. I donīt know how much voltage :Damian: is going to set on his chip.
Are you ready for a quick hint?
How much VCore and Vtt should I use to get a BLCK 167MHz*24 stable?:shrug:
For 3750 MHz (163*23) my system needs 1.25 V (=real 1.216V)
Mem. should run at 2000 MHz then
Sure.Quote:

Thanks Andrea deluxe for the BIOS update :up:
There are a lot of templates with bios settings posted if you read back through this thread. All chips require different settings so you will hve to play around with yours and see what works. Noone can give you the exact settings for your chip. You dont have to find a template with an i7 960, you can use 920 930 or other bloomfield, you have a higher multi to work with but the other settings will work the same.Quote:

Did run run any testing yet to see how the F7u works?
I am still thinking about updating to the latest BIOS:shrug:
I'm wondering what kind of bug was it exactly? :confused:Quote:
Beta F7U
Fix: Audio Bug
Why not? If you're up to some playing go ahead :)Quote:

Yo mate!
You are right- sometimes I do like playing with my system. :D
But believe it or not I had some issues with my audio since I updated to BIOS F7r. I blamed the creative driver for it at the first time. Now every issue is gone - since I have got the F7u running.:)
Fritz: What bug exactly?
I am running F7u now, and I got my chip stable at 4 GHz. Yet with more core voltage. 1.3125V as opposed to 1.2875V on F6.
Looks pretty clearly like an effect of the changed LLC in F7...
Overall the F7 BIOSses have a tendency to just hang when the board is supposed to start initializing the extra controllers, and the POST as such is faster in F6.
Not to mention the odd disabling of the USB power for mice and keyboards every two seconds when updating the current settings screen
The sound didnīt come up synchronously with the video.
I am happy that the problems are gone now:yepp:
So bios f7u is working nice?
This is the longest beta bioses I have ever seen before the final F7 come out.
They kinda look like the tridents, im not familiar with these, have u purchased them yet or ?Quote:

I was thinking of just trying 5.0ghz to see if I could get a boot up and run a few benchmarks. What do you think would be my best option would be to achieve these goals.
Bump up both multi and Blck, as it yields best benchmarks , super PI scores etc, Keep pushing just dont bump your vcore to high.. Remember the 980x dont need to be 2x your memory, roughly about 1.5x faster only..
An option would be a a Phase change unit or Dry ice... If you can chill your water that would also make a difference (some guys place a portable airco blowing onto the rad...
Has anyone here tried for 4.8ghz on water or higher? I am going to try the aircon thing on my rads lol.

How cold can you get your room?
If you can get ambient temps way down (<10C) it might be worth a try.
Settings I would go for - something like - 25x200, ht off, mem at 8x (6x mem has problems for me for some reason), uncore at 13x maybe even 12x.
Start with cpuv at 1.6v or just a bit higher assuming you have a good chip.
Keep a close eye on your temps and don't run at xtreme cpuv for extended periods, replacing 980s is annoying and a bit pricey.
I ordered this board from Newegg on Monday, is it guaranteed that I will be getting a Rev. 2 board instead of a Rev. 1? :confused:
Anyone running this with an i7 930..I'd like to get an idea of a good base map to start oc'ing from...
Andrea,thanks for update from TT forum!Quote:

I have a similar rad setup to you and maxxed out at just over 4.7 with water. Waiting for an SS setup to be made for me to see what more there is. My Vcore rose dramatically to above 1.56 after I went past 4.6. It is still running fine though at 4.5 24/7Quote:

This is the 2nd 930 I've run in the same hardware setup, and both chips will prime happily overnight at as low as 1.248vcore. I've bumped it up to see if it makes a difference, but it hasn't (other than hotting up the proc.

Can you post your bois settings for 4.7 and 4.8 I will shoot for that this weekend. Thanks again for your help

hey guys i recently purchased this board for my new build. now whereas the whole build has a long way to go before its completed, i tried to switch this board on today just to see if it would post or not. installed the cpu (i7 940 with stock heatsink), 1 memory module in the second slot (first white) and a gpu (xfx 5450). I get one short post beep and the post code display reads FF but i get no display. could this be a gpu issue or am i missing something. Ive connected a spare xigmatek 500w psu that i had lying around. please help

Anyone here got rev 2.0 board???
any different overclocking (8+8phase)
http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/p.../3527/3246.jpg
I'm still on F2. Tried F6 but got blue screens every day. This was on a non overclocked system, with exactly the same settings as what I had with the F2 firmware. I have now put it back to the F2 firmware.
I'm guessing the new firmware had problems with my memory. I have a 920 as processor, and will not put in a newer CPU later. I would like to overclock my system to 4 Ghz or so later on.
I got the impression my USB ports are not optimal (when I want to copy of folder of 500 Gig from one HD to another, it will probably stop somewhere in the middle because it says it can't read a file/folder, but when I retry it works fine. Also, if I plug in a HD via the USB port that's next to my wireless USD network thingy, and I turn the HD on or off, sometimes I lose my Internet connection. )
Do any of the newer FW's resolve any USB issues?
Is there a changelog or anything available someplace on the X58A-UD5 F6i BIOS update? Gigabyte doesn't usually post beta BIOS's to their site unless there's a bugfix.

I have a sorta noob question regarding a Gigabyte ex58 ud3r non a series motherboard.
I have a xeon hexa-core cpu and am trying to get a decent overclock but i can't seem to get the bclk past 220.
Is there something I need to tweek in the bios to get it running past 220, or do i need to upgrade my mobo?
And if so any recommendations on what motherboard i should pick up?
I was considering either the classified or the rampage 3.
Could be ur mobo mate, try flashing to the newest bios but alot of people get stuck at around 210-220 blck on the UD3r's.. If i was gonna go for a new motherbord definately be the Rampage III extreme..;)Quote:

Is it RMA time? Sometimes my ethernet doesn't work and have to unplug the cable and plug it into other port than it picks it up again. It happens in both Linux and Windows and i've updated the drivers from manufacture website.
Second problem is sometimes on a coldboot it says voltage settings are wrong but once I go into bios and punch in the same specs it works flawlessly but couple days from now it would bring back the same error.
My GA-X58A-UD3R is doing the exact same thing (2GB available in windows). The new BIOS update fixed this problem except... now whenever I cold-boot I get a message "Recovering lost DRAM size..." and my PC reboots and then boots normally.Quote:

It very well could also be the memory kit itself, I have seen plenty of people RMA and get the same exact kits that work perfectly when they got the new memory back from RMA.
I have also seen PLENTY of people say they do not have bent pins, and be 100% sure of this, yet when I finally got them to post images I would find 2-10+.
So you may want to take some images of your socket as well and let someone have a look just to be sure this isn't part of your issues.
Yeh been through the bent socket before with dinos, everything is sweet.. even tryed reseating a few things over n over still no difference! Its weird though shows 6gb in cpu-z and in bios but in windows only says 4.5gb free really weird.. Ive tryed up to 1.45 vtt with low nb frequency even high and low dimm voltages, im sure its the board..

I'm using the FB11 BIOS for my GA-X58A-UD3R rev2. I guess I should remove the CPU and check for bent pins. If I find any do I just use tweezers or something to bend them back or should I just take it back to the store?
Any help is appreciated.

I've already tried everything in those posts. I'm not going to bother checking the CPU pins, because if they are bent there is no way I am going to fix them, I shouldn't have to repair a brand new motherboard just because of some manufacturing defects.
I'll just take this back to my local store and pick up a few Mushkin sticks and a Rampage III Gene.
I don't know why I bothered with Gigabyte & G.Skill anyway, should have stuck with my gut feeling. Not only have I been having this problem with this board, but post times are very slow, the on-board RealTek is horrible (static microphone and random cracking sound). Very disappointing.
Thanks for your help though and good day!

BTW if anyone lives near BestBuy they have these X25 80gb SSD's on sale for 199.99 + you get a 30.00 BestBuy gift card with the purchase.
In my opinion the UD7 still has a slight advantage over R3E.Quote:

In my opinion for overclocking Gigabyte is the best!!
I prefer RAID 0Quote:
