I will test 990FX UD7/UD5 too. So far this board is good PR

Thanks Backlash:up:

The only complain so far is no post code reader on board. I have to stick my reader card in the middle of 2 GPUs when run 2X 16Xs

Testing Bios 0506 with X4 955 1134APM

I'm working with Giga on a UD7 I'm reviewing right now. It is a great board with a ton of features..... except for Vdroop. You can see the problem I'm having here. Needless to say that's unacceptable. We'll see what Giga has to say / do about it before I finish the review.

I used to be hung up on that, but the Q-LEDs have really grown on me. How often do you need more info than "it's your RAM" or "it's your storage", etc, etc? Going from the Cross V to the UD7, I thought I'd be ecstatic, but find myself missing the LEDs.

I can't vouch for the vendor (indeed I've never heard of them before), but I found a set of Pi sticks rated for 2000 / 7-9-7-24. FWIW.

Nice Dumo! How do u like the 0506 bios? I think it's more stable gonna try 0709 bios soon

Dumo

0506 seems better in term of clocking up ram TBone.

I will try 0709 on BD...If it ever get released. Lol

I try to get 3000 of HT without any succ.
can you put ur voltage setting (bios screen shoot if it possible) or at least the voltage setting to get ur bus speed and ur HT (3000)
I use the same bios version

Have bought about 3 kits from him till date...shipping is slow, but there is no issue with the vendor. I am running around looking for flares....but no luck till now.

Good to know, thanks!

I don't know if those Pis are equal to the Flare 7-9-7-24 kit I have (i.e. sub-timings), but Flare & Pi are both G.Skill's higher-end sets so it's reasonable to assume they'll perform similarly.

yeah i updating to new bios 0705 and im having severe problems booting with AHCI enabled, i dunno what happened but i cant boot with AHCI on... had to revert to IDE.

any ideas? i had everything working with 0506 and had Amd AHCI drivers loaded and working fine, not sure how it got screwed up. checked device manger. is there a way i can make it load into windows wit ahci? it gives me bootmgr is missing error or the other please insert boot disc or whatever.

man everything was working fine...there goes the saying if it aint broke dont fix it. :(

Board is fine guys, just been turn off by all the arguments about BD on the other threads:(

All my 955s seem to max out @ 5.45Ghz with an old SS...no time for LN2 test.

Will try a few 980s today

Oh, that? I'd recommend either a) ignoring them, or b) do what I do - treat it as a massive train wreck that you can't stop watching.

People always argue about hardware to come, you've been here long enough to know that. It will come eventually and we shall have a lot of fun overclocking them on these Cross V's. That's all we need to know. :)

Would it help OC if I connected up the extra 4-pin CPU power just above the am3+ socket?

Or is that just ment for liquid helium? ;)

any one can help me with setting to get 3000 ht and nb freq.
any help will be apro.

Try 1.3v ....maybe a little more dont go over 1.35v....for CPU/nb setting in bios.

1.25v for ht but no need for ht to be 3ghz lower multi down to 2.2ghz

As the guy above said. But the reason why you dont want your HTT up at 3GHz is because testing has shown that right around 2GHz is the perfect spot for fps in gaming. As you go up in speed, fps goes down. Odd I know, but thats how it goes. 2GHz is still plenty fast and no where near maxing the bandwidth of it.

yes focus on keeping HTT around 2ghz(from what ive learned it doesnt do much)...but main focus and main performance gains come from 3ghz NB

the multi's in the bios will help you target this speed.

what cpu do you have again?

good luck

ill try and post bios screenies later this weekend or monday.

but if anybody has them handy please post em or you can refer to a couple other threads in this forum

chew and flankr have done good reviews
