just picked up the little brother to this board, the UD4. Very nice so far, and for the record, Mushkin Redline Ascent 12800 CAS6 works perfectly at 1.5v :)

Just a quick test........I was actually testing/loading an 850 watt PSU so this is most likely not max. It was preety much shoot from the hip quick settings that I knew would pass.......not bad for its first time out of the box :)Quote:

Ahhh so you have your hands on the new gig board, ok i wait to see what else you post.
I could always buy it and post some numbers. I just have less then great ram which i need to remedy quickly. The OCZ gold series could have been better IMO, but not bad for the price. What RAM you guys using again?
Edit: Looks good Chew*, Your Ram makes me ill.. lol
Im using Corsair GTS 2000 cas 8 4 gig, clocks pretty well, not sure what Chew is using im sure he has all kinds of memory, i only have 1 pair.
here is an optimized BIOS, suggest if you overclocking use this one

i use corsair 1600c6 with chew* optimized memory timings could fly
DDR3-1740 CL6-6-5-18-1T
well done , chew* :D
Chew: so, u can say, this board is better than older MA790FXT-UD5p?
hey man, would you have a newer bios kicking around for the 790XTA-UD4?Quote:

It has many features I requested that could not be changed due to hardware limits with older board. One of those being finer voltage increments.Quote:

If all the slots were Blue on that board that would be just PURE SEX.:yepp:
I will put this board through its paces shortly for you guys in another thread in the near future.
ATM I am hammering out some more memory on AMD.
LOL i just flashed to this bios it's called HC3 hicookie :ROTF::p::DQuote:

Just grabbed one of these too. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=900672 got that with a megahalem.
Hey does this board have some kinda cold bug? I can change bios's and it seems to get lower temps from which I can boot and work from. Seems like the F2 doesn't want to post after -70c and freezes up in windows. The F1 bios seems to be good to around -110c on my k-probe. =o\ Any insights?
The modded bios from hicookie is there some one ho has it because it is not in the link anymore i am getting the board tomorrow
that bios was not very good for me
i ended up reverting back to F2 and found better speed Riska and matched the current W.R. in 1M SuperPi with lower CPU clocks :)
Ok thanks man great news i am going to bench ln2 on it i the weekend and have a 965C3 week 44 and a 965C2 week 32 and they both do 6300mhz+ 3d on my Msi 790FX-GD70 so i will hope this board will do better
the new ud4 along with 965BE was on sale for $200 at Fry's Electronics on Christmas day.
AMD Overdrive doesn't appear to work with the F2 or hicookie bios.
Well Hopefully Gigabyte rectifies this problem with a New improved Bios update cause I just got My motherboard Today.
work for me ;)Quote:

um I purchased this Board with the understanding of this being Gigabytes Top of the Line enthusiast AMD3 board. IS there going to be Proper Strong Bios support here. I mean I do understand this Board is less than 2 months OLD and so bugs need to be worked out etc.. My last 2 boards were high end MSI's and that company always had updated Bios.
whats wrong with the bios?Quote:
