Official statement regarding reports of cancelling P67 chipset projects.
http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.com/Quote:
The industry reports about GIGABYTE cancelling all P67 projects and moving 100% to next gen Intel 6 series chipset models are misleading and unfounded. GIGABYTE will continue producing P67 chipset motherboards until the end of 2011, and the H67 models are expected to be available well into 2012. However, it is true that GIGABYTE is aggressively preparing a full range of motherboards based on next gen Intel 6 series chipsets for the enthusiast, power user and mainstream market segments. These models will boast all the rich features available from Intel’s latest chipset and CPU offerings together with some exciting new GIGABYTE proprietary technologies.
We appreciate the excitement and enthusiasm regarding GIGABYTE’s next generation 6 series chipset motherboards, and look forward to a quick ramp in the weeks and months to come.
til end of 2011 only :(
Hi, I'm currently stuck at 4.8 ghz on my 2600k, need some advice to breach the 5.0 ghz mark
So basically I've pretty much stable at 4.8 ghz, got bsod on idle couple of time, so I had to raise volage twice. ( goes through all LinX etc at 1.356, but bsods at 1.344 on idle after vdrop).
Here's my current settings:
x48 multi
BLCK 100.5 in bios
VTT 1.08 in bios
Vcore 1.34 + LLC 2 in bios = 1.356 idle, 1.38 under load.
1.53 on memory
All c1e etc are disabled. didn't turn on the PLL overvolt mode.
Bios F2
CPU batch : 3050A421
when I try to push for x49 multi, I get UD7 screen and then my PC restarts, claiming that the OC failed. Tried different voltages, that didn't seem to change anything.
Am I hitting my cpu's limit here? or do I need some nice fancy new BIOS. ( btw, I wouldn't mind a nice fancy new BIOS....any suggestions on the best one there is ? )
You may want to turn this on to go over 4.8Ghz.Quote:
didn't turn on the PLL overvolt mode.
inmo use LLC1 much more stable than LLC2 and use F3h BIOS
see some pages back i posted all
this is my solid 5005 HT on 2133 C7 mem prime stable
use PLL try more than 1,8 some chips needed over some exact some undervolted
try more vtt some IMC are weaker than others
take mem out of the problem put them loose to know the limit of your chip

Ok, I'll start with Bios then. and go from there, thanks.
F3h = x50 :D w00t.
Now... I think that's because I enabled PLL overvoltage .... hmmm, anyways.
2 more questions then : what's safe voltage I should stay below for 24/7 use ? And can I keep PLL OV option enabled for 24/7 use ?
I did read couple of times that I should generally stay below 1.38 on vcore, but I have a suspicion that it's a bit concervative.
Ive been running 1.42v since SB was released without any issues. I think the general consensus is try and stay around 1.4v if possible.
Well I guess I'm going to try to stay below 1.4 just to be one the safe side. And judging from my preliminary linX run that "below" well be at x49 hopefuly. x50 seems to want more then 1.4 under load.
So, running with PLL option set on "enabled" been for you guys fine all this time ? ( lol as a student, I'm trying to pace my finances so that I can at least avoid upgrading for another 1.5-2 years, and keep my CPU from failing on me)
P.S. I find LLC 2 to be better then LLC1, it doesn't overvolt that much, and eliminates that wild Vdrop ( seriosly 1.38 idle to 1.34 load is a bit to much of a vdrop, freezes my pc instantly).
LLC2 is fine, as long as your vcore isn't high, and as long as you aren't having a rise over 0.02v. Having a large rise can cause chip degradation by being WAY over the load voltage you truly need for stability, or, causing you to crash at idle/light load, by having too little voltage when idle.
NewEgg shipped the board out today, sent it overnight air. Ill be glad to be back on the UD7.
I was getting worried, I sent them a dead board.
Im kinda glad they had a recall now, otherwise I would have had to deal with gigabyte directly to get a replacement.
Was your old board a B2 or something?
Is 1.45V too much for 24/7 on water?
depends on your temps. id say its fine, just keep temps below 70C.
Hmmmm. Well x49 seems stable ( two quick LinX runs + 2 h in portal 2 + DA2 + 2 more LinX runs). I'll do my 25-pass linx loop tday to see if it will hold, to be absolutely sure. ( 1.404 under load)
However x50 seems to be unstable. ( tried up to 1.428 under load).
Temps in linX : 75 max on cores at 4.9 ghz and 1.404vcore. 77 under linx on 5.0 ghz 1.428 but unstable.
So...if I increase the volts to 1.4x under load...and if it will work.... ( I'm planning to use xtra fans for this one, to keep the temps under 80 in LinX) will that be fine for 24/7 ? Provided that in games temps never hit 70 at all.

5.0 ghz LinX 10 runs. no AVX
I contacted gb yesterday to ask what was up with my rma and they said it had been approved a few days prior. No one told me though lol. Anyway I shipped it out last night.
http://img.gameru.net/th/f7f02.jpg
http://img.gameru.net/th/cfbe1.jpg
LinX 20 runs. Full mem. no AVX. Had to play around with PLL, otherwise bsod on idle.
What do you mean by play around with PLL?
PLL Overvoltage?
What did you do ? what did you change?
internal PLL overvolte is ON. But when you go to vol. control you see PLL set at 1.8 - auto, well I switched it to 1.74 at fist, which eliminated my bsods at idle ( took 30 min - 1 hour to get x0124 bsod screen at x50). well I went back at changed PLL to 1.76....and VTT to 1.10 and gost stable in linX.I've seen someone on overclock.net posting that lowering PLL helps with stability at higher clocks with SB. and so far it seems to be true - no idle bsod, no load bsod. Just out of curiosity I will try to low PLL to 1.74 again, but keep VTT at the same settting and check what happenes.
PLL overvoltage does not raise the pll voltage. This was measured with a digital MM. It does something else, but Intel won't disclose it.
It's more than likely a register in the MSR, since it won't reactivate after S3 sleep. And since it won't work on D1 stepping cpu's, it's clearly not an actual voltage setting coming from the motherboard.
well IDK about raising pll voltage through PLL overvoltage, since as far as I'm concern it's a mean to break through x48-x50 limits. what I'm more interested is to why lower PLL settings help against bsods in idle. I mean technically x0124 errors imply that you don't have enough vcore or Vtt right? ( at least that's what I've read from "ultimate SB overclockers guide" lol). Then why lowering PLL helps to stabilize idiling of the cpu, and according to some people help them lower their vcore by a good .05v ?
Anyway now I'm drooling on a water-colling solution to lower my temps and run LinX with AVX to get 100+ gigaflops.=)
UD7 B3 bios F4a...
When cpu reached limit of oc'd settings it will reboot to 4E post code and started those endless loops that always ended @ 00 or 4E
Cmos reset and battery pull won't reset bios. The only solution is to pull battery and turn on power supply (without turn mobo on) and reset cmos
4E means you pushed too far, which I know you already know :)
That will often reset itself if you just wait a reboot or two, or are you saying it's broke again now on F4a like on previous BIOSes? I know it's OK for sure and will auto recover on F3h, haven't tested F4a enough yet.

GA-P67A-UD7-B3 F3h Mod
http://www.mediafire.com/?ql8uagn1ubvju7u
Update Intel RAID ROM - 10.5.0.916
Update Realtek - v2.39
Please flash at your own risk, BIOS has been tested and is working, enjoy! :D
And before anyone asks about the UD7 F4a RAID ROM loading on it's own screen, this is not due to the Mod's, I tested the original files and they now do this. So Gigabyte has changed something making the AHCI and RAID readouts load on separate pages for some reason.
Thanks for the bios:up: Will try
Yep, with B2 I can predict the reboot cycles but with B3 F4a those 4Es wont reset itself without battery pulled/psu on/cmos reset trick:D
Its not big deal, I liked the board though...wish my 2600K get those 4Es @ 59X:D
Anytime!
Well with B2 board and F3 beta BIOSes, at least F3h and some previous B2 beta's, it would reset for me automatically on a few tries, but I haven't played with F4a long enough to see if it does or not.
I wish I had a CPU that could do x59, or at least wouldn't hit 4E before x54-55!! Best I can do is x53 or less multi with more Bclk, overall limit around 5.3 though :(
If you want I can mod F3h for you, that one auto resets on 1-2 tries at 4E for sure.
That'll be awesome:up:
It will save time when benching with cpu @ the edge of stability:D
Thanks Lsd
Ok, will do and post in the morning as I'm getting offline right now (not feeling too good :()
*Edit
Actually, went ahead and did tonight for ya

Add to previous page as well
Hope you are better Lsdmeasap. :)
Sorry but I have to ask what the modded bioses do? I've read above but it's still not clear.
I've just got my B3 replacement (nice and new....I think) and bioses, for me, are the order of the day.
Do these modded bioses stop me ending up in a 4E restart loop if I push too hard?
yes this is true but some bios with this board hit there end way faster . . . why who knows its the ud7 bios Rubik cube :DQuote:
No, you will always hit 4E error if you push past what your CPU can do
"Lsdmeasap" and "the_real_7" thanx for the replies :up:
F3h here we go :)
Got the UD7 from back from RMA and ran a few 3D benching with different cards to see how it scores. Second score was with sli.
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fb...7.209090107119
Anyone saw that?
Will it be available on P67?
You're not a mod here, are you?
I'm sure if there was a problem, then an admin would have contacted him by now, don't you think?
If he wants to say gigabut, let him say gigabut! Or just put him on your ignore list and move on, man.
Coming soon...?

GIGABYTE Touch BIOS will be available for download from the GIGABYTE website at the beginning of May, 2011.
Keep an eye on this Facebook page or our Blog for the download announcement.
only z68 will handle touchbios? or will it update the motherboard P67?
this is actually for ud5 but i am just posting here as well.... maybe somebody here can help me out ...please .... :)
need help .... i have flashed the bios of my ud5 to a newer one ...board is still the b2 stepping ... while running benchmark, it hang and rebooted ...during reboot the boardis trying to flash to its backup bios but was not able to complete it since another reboot happened...after that now the board will just turned on for 1-2 sec, then off then on then off..endless on/off and will not be able to POST ... is my board dead already? any way to force it to use the backup bios ? is there a way to revice this board? please help as i am in the middle of oc contest locally here and this board is the best i have right now
That won't help him.
He still has to short pins 6 and 7..
Then he has to be able to somehow make it far enough to manually download and flash the primary bios. He must have been overclocked far (maybe with PLL overvoltage enabled) for it to reboot during an auto recovery...
This is why it's essential to alt f12 to copy the main to the backup bios before you do any overclocking. You don't want to get stuck in a boot loop at the same time the bios gets "falsely" corrupted during a failed OC (which on those old bios revisions, constantly tries to flash the backup back to the main).
Don't just tell people to short their pins they have to try the keyboard method first.
He has to short because his board powers off in less than two seconds.
Impossible to use keyboard trick....
I KNOW shorting the mains will work fine if F2 on the backup is intact. The one thing I've NEVER seen anyone do is short the backup in case the backup got corrupted with alt f12 (like DOM's first board did).
To clear reboot loop with 00 or blank post code....
Take battery out, turn on power supply and push cmos clear button several times. It will cleared bios settings
hmmm am also interested in the keyboard method .... anybody here knows how to do the keyboard method posted by sin?
Keyboard method only works if you can get into the BIOS....
Its holding alt F12 before the CPU ID string appears (or before you hear the beep...)
But your board turns off in 2 seconds...
Ahhh ok thanks for answering ...seems like shorting the pins will be my only hope ... I dont know if I can rma this board since this model is not being sold in the Philippines ... the board came directly from taiwan. That is another reason why i need to resurrect this board ... :)
try this:
Shut down the system (don't switch off the PSU). Press and hold the case power button for 10 seconds. The system will automatically turns on (don't let go your finger) and off. Press the case power button again and the backup BIOS will starts to recover the main.
Whats the news on the F8x?
will try this one first ...thanks a lot for all the inputs and help !

It turns out that TouchBIOS isn't a firmware application, but rather a Windows-based utility
tried the keyboard thing and shorting pin 6-7 same result ...is this a dead board already? any other trick that i can try? sorry for disturbing you people but i really need help :)
Has anyone tried the F8x bios....... anyone?
Had the same issue with my UD7 and I ended up RMA'ing it. Not sure about the shorting trick but it happened to me while flashing a backup bios. It seemed to complete the bios backup but then shut down at the end of the flash. Once that happened it would continually reboot and nothing seemed to helped.
Well after this site loaded those pages :cool: I see that it may take a bit more voltage vs f7e/f but eva seems to like it. I guess I will stick with it.
Thanks for pointing me to the right page.
EDIT: Has anyone gotten CLoud OC to work on this board? I can change all the voltages, but only the memory multiplier up top. I uninstalled the latest version (on giga's website) of ET6 and then I suddenly got cpu multi changes. No bclk, no pcie, or anything else...Any thoughts on this?
the liar chose 0.9v for vdimm ...lol
..you need a touchscreen? bs
Does anyone see a problem with running F8x as the primary and F3 as the backup outside of F3's talked about shrotcomings? SHould I go f8x/f8x?
Im loving this board for 3D. Did some more benching today. Got carried away with the vcore in the first screen, LLC2 adds a ton of vcore.
Thanks Dumo for all the help :up:
Nice runs OC:up:
Found vista in my office:D
'05 still look so pretty:)
Next will try with ATI Trays
http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/1...nshot002cm.jpg
F8x was for me the best bios of the B2 revision board ... you can keep it.
About your second question, this bios is less easy to corrupt, i have never get the need to use the backup bios ( something who was happend a lot with early bios ) ... free to you to see if you want keep the old bios in backup or not.
Back to flashing! :)
One more Q if I may...
Giga's Cloud OC. Has anyone tried it? I can only seem to change the CPU multi and memory multi with it. Can anyone else change bclk, pcie, etc with the Cloud OC tool? Either via web or Droid?
Z68X BIOS is updated on TT forum. :D
