Yep, C-N,
agreed - start to feel it the same way- my friend wants to have the SB as well, so I m going to buy another P67 MB- an UD5 , and try this ES on top of it before those 2500K s arrive - just for teh comparison...
CYA gonna report back :up:

Has there been any word on gigabytes UEFI support or is it still an unknown??
it will come later mate. The current boards support it with a bios flash basically.
Sin just mentioned uefi will be on these boards in the UD7 thread, sorry thats all i knowQuote:

tRC is a bit tight requiring a tad too much vDIMM but better performance on better voltages is real welcome.

7.9.7.30 1T @ 1.58v is more like it & hardly any difference in bench!

Ok guys, i have somewhat vague question. Supposedly i get this mobo. Can i SAFELY buy this memory and will I be able to use its XMP profile w/o any issues ? It is 1.65v memory. I just want to know if i can go ahead and order it right now.

Dont 100% know about the XMP profile but 2133 runs fine & I bet those chips are the same as my new ones which as you can see work so I would say yes they will work real nice.Quote:

Nice chip CN, I love the v required for that speed. Very nice 3DM06 score. Just got my Gskill 17600CL7D kit in about an hour ago for this board which will be here tomorrow and then its Microcenter this weekend and I am set. Looks like the 2600K here in the states will be about 280.00 U.S. according the email I just got from them which is actually cheap. I am getting a little bored with my Xeon 3570 anyway:D
Thanks bud, I only put the 6950 in about an hour ago & its awesome. Going to run it stock for a bit then 6970 BIOS it up :D 2600K price looks great it'll be £250 here in the UK.Quote:

Can you run them at 1T Command Rate at 2133 mhz ? Im ordering them right now... I hope it can fit megahalems + 2 fans + these tall memory heat sinks...
ps: Now i only need my 2600K and mobo. :D
More then likely yes. I run my perfect storm set at that speed sometimes and always at 1T no problem with other boards.
Ye they run, havent tested stability. Bandwidth was about the same and latency was 1ns bettet.Quote:

The 6950 is a hot card for sure right now and with a quick flash will only get better. I have a 480 on its own remote loop in my torture rack system that is decent. Your 06 score is very close to mine with my xeon at 4700mhz.:cool:Quote:

Most times I get low Gflops the cause is low vcore & LinX wont load the system properly. I mean you hit the button & it runs fine but the cores dont get as hot as you have seen before & the Gflops are lower.
I consider my rig stable & still my Gflops fluctuate maybe as much as 2. I wont go into technical reasons but basically ensuring you always run the same amount of RAM by either letting your rig rest from a fresh boot or running Linx for 1 run to flush & free all the RAM before running your 20 or whatever runs should ensure more consistency.

Hello, guys,
I m a bit puzzled here being somewhat experienced from before, but..
I ve had the chance to "try " this mobo instead of ASUS P8P67A DL - the ASUS d go to my friend MP :D
I have searched the F5x file on HWBOT- named xxxx.F5X - iI ve renamed the extension F5x to xxx.bin , but Q Flash s giving me the " invalid BIOS image " -did I miss something - the files are 4096 KB allright both the same ?? :confused:
Thanks ..:welcome:
Yes, use @bios in windows use the version from tweaktownQuote:

EDIT: managed to flash it with the new version of@BIOS, the fix just works for the D2s , so I ll have to wait for it / I got an ES now /
BTW the board recovered itself and I ve got again the BIOS F2
You can once you are happy with a bios flash/update the backup bios. Its in the thread somewhere just hit alt & f12 at the post screen.Quote:

On POST, just press and hold Alt-F12 till the mobo prompts you if you want to flash the backup BIOS with the main BIOS, press Y and it's done.
THX guys, on 10th there ll be 2 2500Ks waiting for me , I ll report back :) nice weekend - edit: tried to hold ALt-F12 during POST on BIOS F4 and F5a , all I had was just "flashpoint " and reboot- gotta get rid of F2 on the backup BIOS chip. BTW on the manuel there s written that " for the sake of safety users cannot flash the backup BIOS chip-)"
Do it as soon as it posts and make sure quick boot is disabled
well done on the 2500's
Just got the UD4 version of this board, im really liking the matte finish on the pcb, this is one bad ass looking board.
Got my UD5 last night and I really like what I see so far. Now its chip time.:D
Gotta wait till sunday to grab the CPU's, my local frys has 5, i will be at the store before it opens, to ensure i get one, i hope they price match micro center.
Why does it have to sets of BIOS old type and new type UEFI BIOS? I thought everything was going to just transition to UEFI?
thanks c-n, you seem to know it all :cool:Quote:

Great to see lots of you getting the ud5 and chips now and look forward to some results.
I'll tidy the thread up a bit and move these little tips etc to the front when i get back from working away.
On a side note as im away from my pc i need a little help from someone with a running ud5, please pm me if you will do me a little favour... Its for everyones benefit.
Just ordered my 2600K and UD5. Will pick it up Monday probly. Is the latest BIOS F5x for the UD5 ? UD7 and UD4 already got F6x...
UD5 not sell in my country
line up to UD3P then skip to UD7
Ebay?
My 2600K is ready for pickup this morning.:cool: My store sold out in like five minutes. Its going to be a great day.
What's the absoluty MAX vCore and VTT for 24/7 ? Temperatures?
Waiting for results guys !!! I can't wait for my stuff tomorrow ! I'll be putting the latest bios right away as soon as i install the OS. The problem is tho i wont be using the complete Defaults of the bios, it will have to be switched to AHCI due to my Intel SSD for it to properly install the OS, i hope this little option wont affect me flashing to the new BIOS through Windows.
I am cranking some out right now as we speak and should have something up in about an hour. So far this chip is really fast and 5G was simply retarded easy to get on this UD5.:D
I switched to AHCI right off and booted from my SSD no problem. I've even flashed twice now.Quote:

Ok here is a few quick runs after setting up. This is at 5040mhz at 1.40v core bios and a slight increase in Qpi/Vtt from auto, other then that nothing else has been changed. I set the multi at 50 and increased bclk to 101 for a clean break of 5G resulting in 5040mhz. This chip is on water using a remote PA 120.3 rad and EK HF block and the temps are super low. The ram is not my RipjawsX set which did not get here yet but a 4G set of 17600 Pi running on XMP profile1 with timings left in auto for 2132mhz, ram at :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty 7-10-10-28 timings. No tweaks yet and 5G was easy even with the original F2 bios on this board. You where right CN this board simply flys and is very friendly to work with just like the last Gig board I used, fantastic stability. I am still getting things ironed out but so far all I can say is this chip is certainly faster then my 920 or 3570 at the same speed pound for pound by way more then 10% and runs about twice as cool. The UD5 is very impressive so far. Testing continues.:D
Hi, quick question please ? I'm using the latest @BIOS and latest BIOS (f6x for my UD4). I can flash it fine from windows, but during overclocking whenever I BSOD, the BIOS says there's a checksum error and reverts back to the shipping BIOS F3. I realize there is dual BIOS on this board, but how do I flash both sides so I don't have to keep doing this ? I've gone thru the manual to no avail, and found somewhere to hold down ALT-F12 during post, but that does nothing. Do you have any advice here?
Thank you.
Sorted, use a PS/2 keyboard and ALT-F12 works great as Bartman via C-N says. :-)Quote:

Make sure to pay attention to my tid-bits on Vcore(VCC) and VTT(VCCIO), these are most important for overclocking, other voltages can help too.
Here is a table I put together from Intel’s product data sheet; it defines the processors maximum voltages and maximum amperage- These are OFFICIAL Min and Max Values:
http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/553/processork.png
VCC: Commonly Called Vcore, the voltage supplied to the processors inside the CPU. This voltage is a large part of Sandy Bridge overclocking. Now from personal testing, and weeks and weeks of headaches and hard ships, I have a few things I would like to share about this voltage.
I say maximum voltage for Vcc/Vcore is 1.50v for 24/7, 1.55-1.60v for extreme benchmarking, please stay below to 1.6, and don’t use any type of Load Line Calibration past 1.55v. Please not that high temperature teamed up with high voltage will kill your processor faster than anything else, it creates a perfect environment for processor degradation.
I am keeping a limit at 1.45v for now while I play around. This chip is certainly more then I expected.:D
Did you disable Turbo in BIOS ? I mean does your multiplier stay at 50x at all times ? Also do you plan to update to the new F5x BIOS ?
[s; BTW you got an awesome chip !
Should stay at 50, so far the p67 boards i've reviewed dont seen to be dropping multipliers..Quote:

Hi guys,
Does this motherboard come with mounting screws? Most of the reviews i have read don't mention it.

or do you mean stock heatsink screws if they are held by platstic pushpins or screws (it's the latter)
No, they are not, why the hell do people keep posting the same?Quote:

There is not such thing as safe voltages for SB, you overvolt it, you take the risk. The same as with OCing the rest of the components...
I meant to mount the mobo in the case. It's about 3 years since my last mobo purchase so i couldn't remember where i got my mounting screws from :).Quote:

Go to local PC store,most sell mixed bags of PC screws for like $3.00..Quote:

actually cpuz and aida64 will report weird voltage for gigabyte boards :) cpuz will usually says 1.1 or less vcore while aida will give you 2.8V vcore ( hahah your chip should had been fried if that is correct ) ...LOL
Hey guys, I just built my system but i have a problem with my memory. I can't set any memory timings at all ?! When i chose X.M.P "profile1" from the mobo it puts the memory to 2133 CL6-6-6-20 2T and that is not my X.M.P. memory profile and it is not stable.... My memory is made for 2133 CL7-10-7 - 27 but i cant not change the timings at all with the F2 bios. I have recently put the F5 BIOS and it is the same thing with it. Can you specify which settings i need to change ? When i leave it on AUTO it puts it on 1333 mhz CL6-6-6 ...
ps; My memory is G.SKILL F3-17066CL7D-4GBPIS
PS: Can you guys link some overclocking guide ? Im not doing something right... When i change the CPU multiplier it automatically change its voltage. I set a voltage in CPU coltage menu where it says [AUTO] i change it to 1.35, restart and nothing changed... Its still at w/e voltage was before... What is going on ?
Disregard my previous post. I sorted the memory...
The problem i have right now is that whenever i get a stable clock - 2 hours of Prime95 + LinX stable and when i decide to shut down the system, it doesn't want to remember its overclock and reverts back to Defautls when i boot it up and i have to set everything again...
ps: BIOS F6a
Managed 5GHz with my No1 chip- fully stable is Prime with 1,488 @BIOS
LLC on level 1 - for IBT is sufficient VID 1,46 in BIOS -BIOS Fx

The new bios rocks for my ud5 though I have no dual channel for ram which is strange.

My 2600K can now run at 5300 HT on at just 1.475v all day long and go up to 5600 so far.:up: I need to try a few more things regarding the ram issue before considering the number. For me at least this board and chip are simply awesome together and the new bios gave me a huge jump. I will have some pics up in a little bit.Quote:

The f6a is the best so far with my board. Your going to love that 2600K and UD5, get your happy face ready.
So F6a is the best bios update at the moment?

Strange issue, i had a similar issue on x58 if i set my ram too tight/fast. It could also be the chips imc.Quote:

Looks like you are doing real well cant wait to see some results and get home in a few more days to try out f6 :up:
ok so just stability testing with megahalems before going to the chillers. :)
could do 48 multi at 1.4v cpuv, needed 1.415 for 50 multi
below is 50 multi testing at 1.415 cpuv bios F6a.
just getting started - all is well so far! :)

man either this CPU cooler is crazy nice or you boys have some seriously low ambients
that is very cool
My board is still not doing dual channel and after checking the socket for pin damage with a digital mic and not finding anything I would have to say its rma time. However it works fine in single channel so here is some single action I did last night. I think I have a new single card record for 3DM06.:D
Very nice results guys! :up:
Have you ruled out the cpu imc? Try another chip first if you can.Quote:
