Why would this be happening?
CPU-Z voltage reads 1.312 and moves to 1.360 and back again.
What do I do??
what vcore are you trying to set? Does it change in cpu-z when there is a load or just randomly?
tried setting it to 1.37 up to 1.4
When I have it set to auto it moves in CPU-Z in windows, I can't get into windows if it's not on auto
Should I try higher?
edit: Tried 1.48 and booted to Windows, CPU-Z reads 1.44
trying QPI/VTT voltage next
edit edit:
If I change the QPI/VTT voltage when booting it only shows 4gb ram...

I have seen it said, how official I do not know that if you keep mem v within .5v of qpi volts you are ok, but again I have not seen anything official on this.
So - what this means for example - is that if you run your qpi at 1.335v you should be able to run your mem at up to .5v above that - so 1.835v.
But again this flies in the face of the 1.65v rule that we have all heard from day one. I have run at 1.84 for oc up to 10 hrs with no harm (yet).
@ GAR:
Your signature states:
Since I have the same CPU and Cooler except my board is the Extreme version which I believe makes no difference, could you send me your BIOS settings, since I´d be content to run my CPU at 4GHz and in this way wouldn´t need to do a lot of testing myself.Quote:

OK thought I had mine stable and then I rebooted :(
Very strange thing I could reboot 5 times just fine and then the next time the overclock beeps go nuts.
I can change a few things and it will boot up just fine, then go back and change to 20x200 and it works great. Then I could reboot a few times and
all of a sudden it does the same thing.
Anyone else getting odd stuff like that with the new Bios F6a?

i have had similar problem with other motherboards, but i found out that it was not fully stable to start with.
f6a is not bad, but my gut says Gigabyte is gonna kick off a new bios soon.
I did linX overnight 8+ Hours, before that I had rebooted a few times for Virus updates etc. with no problems.
Then in the morning after I shut down linX and checked my mail, surfed for a bit and rebooted then it went all nuts.
Right now I have it backed down to 3.8 and I am going to play around for a few days and see if it does it again.

change HDD to first boot, adjust hdd priority
take off the splash screen
put in ram timings and voltage manually
rest of the settings are basic as u tried previously,
this time lower the base clock to 190, and slowly work your way up working on the vcore, qpi/vtt, may be even cpu pll.
for testing you can go start the vcore a little higher then tighten slowly while checking the stability.
i have noticed that my 920 tends to require a little higher voltage then some of the others on here.
PLEASE BAN ME, or put me on probation for 2 weeks, i have the most important exam of my life coming up for graduate school and i cannot stop coming here and tweaking my board. I need help, I am too addicted to this

I'm considering putting together my i7 920 - FPO/BATCH # 3841A 437
I'm a believer in Gigabyte after being an Asus sorta Loyalist. I really thought they made quality boards until reading a few posts in the Maximus II Formula thread, which is what I'm running my Q9650 on :shakes: (450fsb tops with it so far) I'm actually considering a new UD3R board besides a motherboard for my i7 - Now, from the track record.... how does this UD5 board hold up to its' UD3R 775 siblings legacy?
nice work!! yeah, at load the liquid in the heat pipes evaporates more vigorously thus increasing the evap and condensation effect and cooling a lot more efficiently. The TRUE is one kick ass air cooler.. I kind of wish I had held out to pick one up but they were so out of stock when I built my machine, so I got the CM V8 instead.. which has turned out to be a very good cooler also, but you can't do the push-pull fan trick with it.. well, unless you want to use a lot of zip ties. ;)Quote:

Anyone know why The 4x slot and the bottom 16x slot are Orange/Peach colored?
I looked through the manual and I seen nothing about it.
I'm assuming there is a reason behind this.

Also tried making an air duct to pull in fresh air.
In the 14 hours I tested a lot of things for fun, i didn't take extensive logs of everything, since i was interested in only what worked best. It is way too much to post all the details, i have to get back to studying, so i am going to post my final choices.
TRUE (TR 1400 rpm fan pushing, Xigma Tech XLF-F1253 pulling)
OCZ Freeze (best way to put on put a tiny droplet, half the size of a grain of sticky sushi rice or a quarter grain size of a indian pakistani long grain basmati rice)
Procedure:
put the paste
align the TRUE perfectly and dont u dare move it even a tad bit.
put two screws cross from each other, tighten all the way so u dont risk moving the HS while getting the other two in. once the first two are tight move on to the next two, tighten all the way.
now try to spin the HS just a little clockwise the anti-clock ending up in the same position. toss on the fans.
i added two additional fans a 230mm on the door, it fit perfectly, same fan as the HF932. Another fan was added along with a 5.25-3.5 cage in the front, so it make a nice air tunnel straight across front to back.
sorry if i was unclear, i am stressing about my studies, i need to get back, i will check u guys in a bit.
For temp i am using real temp, didn't bother installing ET6
Its day time now and my idle temp has risen to 40-42, guess not fully idle because i am in window.
In bios i am getting 24-26 for cpu.

if i would be able to run crysis and some other graphic intensive games then yeah i would be interested in adding another card like 4870 or even the 4870x2.

From my experience tuniq, noctua, even zalman 9700 can give a similar temp when idle but under load the TRUE destroys them. at 1.4185 set in bios my cpu under 99% load for 2 hours wont go over 64-69.
another newer HS which performs on par according to hardocp is the http://www.prolimatech.com/products/megahalems.html
this thing is cheaper and the design looks wicked.
Cooler master have another monster v10 i think it costs twice as much as a TRUE. i have v8 cooling my Q6600 its very good. i wonder how good is TRUE CU with coollaboratory liquid pro 2xultra kaze
almost below 9

Fantastic clocks guys. My board is out for delivery right now! I cant wait to see what I can get out of is.
I still have the same question if any one can shed some light on this. The Orange/ Peach colored PCI-E slots. Anyone know why they have that specific color?
trying to hit 5ghz...again...but running into ?cpuz 1.5 bug unless weird TDP limit issue. Booted 23x216 (4968) 3x and 3 different cpuz dumps...but cpuz says 4958 every time. I got 23x217 to boot but cpuz crashed before dumping but it to was off in calculation as well. 23x214 and below calculates correctly:shrug:. 10mhz is too big for spread spectrum differences...have never seen multi kick down at idle like that from TDP limits and cpuz is reading different than everest/realtemp, also dont understand the exact same error 3x:shrug: This is with computer outside, water temps is 1-2C (have antifreeze in loop).

Hi
First off thanks for everyone who posted here - my first overclock and I got to 21x190 on bios F5g :up:
I flashed BIOS to F6a tonight and whilst it has cured the double post issue I can no longer get to 21x190. 21x187 seems to be the best I can get, has anyone else seen a similar effect going to F6a?
I upped Vcore to 1.425 and QPi/Vtt to 1.385 (1.40 and 1.335 on F5g) but that hasn't helped.
How does the UD5 do in comparison to the Extreme? Bout to make a decision on an i7 board today or tomorrow, thanks :)
how was the stability on last setup? any priming?Quote:

@SteveRo - wish I was brave enough to take my CPU voltage to 1.55 :clap:
First time poster, thanks for having me. Yes, I have been following all the posts for the past few months, and its great to see lots of smart folks in one place.
Anywho, I had my i920 on a UD5 overclocked to 3.8 for a number of months and was running that for normal 24x7 operations, until I did an absolutely boneheaded move of using @BIOS to update the BIOS back at v4. :doh: stupid me.
Now, unless I leave the BIOS at "Optimized Defaults" I simply cannot get an overclock on my rig without my machine entering a reboot loop and defaulting itself automatically back to stock settings. I have been waiting for the magic BIOS update to cure my troubles... and have been using QFlash for every flash since (I'm now at 6a), but still to no avail. My rig simply wont accept any even minor bump to any setting without entering a reboot loop and resetting to default settings. :(
I just reseated my chip on the weekend just in case as previous posters described bent pins (I didn't have any), but reseating it didn't make any difference. Does anyone have any ideas? (aside from ever using @BIOS ever again)?
strange - I use @bios all the time - its all I've ever used and no problem at all.Quote:

Now, the only thing I need to figure out is why my 3x2Gb OCZ Gold memory will not run at 8x190. 6x multiplier and auto sets the voltage at 1.5 and timings at 8,8,8,22. It's supposed to be 8,8,8,24 1.65V at 1600MHz. I tried to set the voltages and timings manually but it doesn't want to know the 8x multiplier.
Anyone got any ideas to help me please?

Nice bclk....I wish my chip would do 220...I am pretty sure I could hit 5ghz if I weren't bclk limited to 217 max, and that is only with very high vtt/qpi, IOH, etc.Quote:

But my guess is you are doing something different, or you are using auto and auto value may be different.
Thanks for the quick reply, I really cant figure else what it could have been. The only other system change is that I dropped in another harddrive since then, but I have a 650watt PSU and am only running a single 8800gtx, so I cant imagine that im out of power head room to push an overclock.Quote:

what is your uncore multi set on - needs to be at least 2x your memory multi, preferably 2x plus 1 click up - so - 17? and then at 17 or 16 if you must - uncore must be below approx 4000 or it will not boot.Quote:

Thanks RGE. OK, when I get home from work tonight I will try to post all my configuration settings for an attempted minimal overclock. As mentioned though, it seems like even the most minor change in bios causes an instability problem. But I will try to put something together.Quote:

Wow... another good idea. Cool. Thanks SteveRo. I will also give this a try.Quote:

I know what everyone is thinking, that 9GB is a bit ridiculous, but I do video editing with 1080p AVCHD files on Adobe CS4 and the memory makes my work purrr along very nicely. Now I just have to strike a happy balance with CPU clock and how much memory I will be able to support with my 650Watt Enermax Infinity.
But anyways, thanks SteveRo... a lot.
EDIT: Back up to 9Gb RAM and at 3.33. The RAM will limit my top-end of course, but I think the main issue was actually adding that other HardDrive which overloaded that one rail.
EDIT: Jumped the gun on the last edit. Weird, but i was trying for 3.60 and couldn't push it. Now it refuses to overclock altogether again. I didn't perform stress testing at 3.33 w 9GB, but was able to boot to Vista and post on this forum. Now nothing again. Perhaps its RAM. Will try to pull out some DIMMS again and go from there.
forgive me if this sounds obvious.Quote:
