Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I've been following this thread for a while and wanted to let you know that if you're waiting for the EX58A series, you're going to have to wait a few more months, unfortunately. This is what Gigabyte support told me:
Date: 10/29/2009
Answer - 820376
Answer : Dear Customer,
The release date is in January 2010.
Thank you for choosing Gigabyte products
Question - 820376
From : JW
Sent : 10/11/2009 22:47
Question : Can you tell me if the new EX58A series has been cancelled or will still see a release? If it will still be released, can you tell me roughly when it may see a release date? I am very interested in buying some of your high-end, 24 phase models (EX58A-UD5 or EX58A-EXTREME) and am hoping these models aren't pushed back until next year for Gulftown's (i9) release.
what about ud4, ud4p, new ud5 <- with 24 phases?
Manual GA-X58A-UD7
Also BIOS F2 is out.
http://www.yourpicbox.com/images/obuWbeYsu10521.jpg
Is there going to be an x58a-ud3r?
I can't wait either .... This MB is going to look sexy in my new build. Now I wish they will release a 5970 with a blue pcb but it probably wont happen .... it would look sexy in my case.
LOL WTF? :D
You mean as in Aussie outstations?
Gosh, I hope the info I was given was wrong. Does this mean that all EX58A versions are coming out soon, or only the UD7 with the others in January?
Gigabyte could make a killing with these boards if they released now during the holiday season instead of next year.
X58-UD7 has shipped out from Taiwan this week, and should be for sale very shortly in a store near you :up:

So do these overclock better then the EVGA Classified?
Hey Fatguy.....
I see your Gigabyte hating thread, are you hear further that? If so, why???? I seen you do some amazing things with your Gigabyte boards and was sorry to see you get so upset about things.
I may have been able to try to help you resolve things with Gigabyte, but not sure now with the thread you made as someone may have seen it there and could be very upset.
EVGA Classified has it's place for those who like and or can afford that, but it is for sure not the best board out there, or the end all be all of motherboards. I see many complaints with it as well, this follows any board, that is why there is always complaint/support specific threads for any model of board.
How these overclock we are not sure yet until we see some results. They do however have USB 3 and SATA 3 onboard and do not need a hard mod to pass the 222 Bclk wall of previous models.
Not trying to jump on you or anything, I just hated to see you end up hating Gigabyte like you did in your thread and was sorry to hear you did not contact me before you got so upset so I could see if there was anyway I could help get things squared away for you.
I have/had no intension of bashing Gigabyte in this thread, it was a real question because I am interested to see how well their new boards overclock. I have done heaps of research and question asking in regards to my gigabyte problems, nothing of which fixed the said issues. I not only mad the thread to bash Gigabyte, but I was interested to see if anyone else has ever experienced similar problems. I also know the Classified isn't a perfect mobo, however it has never given the problems my gigabyte ones have, however time will tell. I'll say sorry to Gigabyte IF several of my mobo's (other brands) all start doing similar things. Thats good to hear they won't need the hard mod to pass 222bclk. But really I have 3 mobo's sitting around doing nothing at the moment, I can't RMA them, can't sell them and they are reliable enough for a PC, (plus that dam 9400GT that can't do anything).
Ahh ok, well I just wondered after I read your other thread so I thought I would ask.
You pushed your GA Boards very hard, what did you expect? I mean I didn't think you used them in normal ways right? Only for extreme overclocking, and maybe then afterwards for normal use? Maybe they were harmed in that aspect of things?
Why can't you RMA them?
I have 3 Gigabyte mobos, all P45's. The DS3P was never overclocked at all, it was used in my mum's work station PC. It was by far the worst of them all. The UD3P started to play up before I even got my SS phase change. The UD3R I have to say has been pushed very hard, but still the other two haven't and they still behave like the UD3R. By far none of my boards have been pushed like the Classified, benching 5GHz i7 HT with 1.5vcore+ for hours straight for many days. It has held strong, its been under SS, Cascade and LN2. I can't RMA because technicality it does still work (post).
Well just because it posts does not mean it works, I would RMA and tell them in full what you are experiencing and explain that is not what you paid for. They should RMA for you, tell them it will post but does not fully function properly
Are you using Memory or do you have memory from the QVL to be sure it fails with that as well, since that is what they would test with?
Lsdmeasap,
Are the other EX58 boards coming immediately after the X58A-UD7 or do we have to wait until January? I would prefer the UD5 over the UD7 because I am not comfortable with water cooling, but if I had to wait six or more weeks I wouldn't.
According to Manual,you have Hybrid Silent-Pipe Module.

http://smiliesftw.com/x/boweek-1.gif
I wasn't aware of this.
For UD7 or an Extreme board, you do not "Have" to water cool as shown above, it is just optional. You can use the Hybrid cooling pipe or nothing extra at all if you wish.
As for the others, I can't say yet, but I can say it wont be at the same time as UD7 should anything come about.
Well, to anyone in the UK looking to get one of these UD7's, you can now pre-order them on OcUK, they are going for £264.99.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=5&subcat=1283
I wonder why each time I contacted Gigabyte UK about these EX58A series boards, they told me that these wouldnot be retail boards, they even told guys at OcUK the exact same thing to, yet here we are, 2 months later, the boards I enquire about are made available?!?!?
I'm quite tempted to get one, but at the same time, I don't know whether it would be worth my while, moving from a current UD5 to UD7, when I think about it, there really isn't much reason why I should bother changing boards, but at the same time, it is always fun having new hardware to play with!!! :D
Will this motherboard have the same bandwith issues the P55A UD6 has when using either USB3 or SATA 3? Will there be similar revised X58 boards released from competitors?
The X58A-UD7 and P55A-UD7 (in particular) don't share bandwidth. However, any other P55A aren't showing very visible signs of issues sharing the PCIE Bus. At least, not enough for me to get all bent over. They seem to OC a bit higher more easily this round.
hmm looks very purdy, can't wait till it's in Oz :-(
Looks like tomorrow mate :up:

i was wondering:
Does it really have a different chipset (X58A instead of X58)?
Cause most shops and the gigabyte website say it is just a X58 chipset...
on first sight it seems just an ud5-extreme with extra chipsets for 2 sata3 ports and 2 usb3 ports
the thing is: i only need about 2 or 4 sata ports (sata3 would be nice, but it is not like i'll use it for now) cause I'll get an 8 port pci-e raid 5 controller
and also usb3 would be nice, but it alone is not really worth the extra 75 dollar compared to the normal ud5...
So if this ud7 does not make any difference in overclocking (i7 920 on water that is...) or other stuff then sata3 or usb3, then I don't think it is worth the extra price for me...
sorry if i'm not 100% up to date... I just came back from 1 month Thailand...
"Fixed PCIe with ability to boot over 222BCLK
Better power managment"
what has changed to accomplish these 2 changes?
cause those seem the most interesting to me...
is there any chance that they get fixed in the normal ud5 as well?
In Malaysia already 1 week in the shops.
All X58As have the PCIe fixed. In the EX58s, there was an option to change the PCIe but it didnt actually do anything unless you hard modded the board. These boards pretty much come with that mod done, so when you change the PCIe, it actually changes.
The boards have a higher phase, and cleaner power, and therefore, should overclock better, and be ready for Gulftown.
I am also almost 99% sure they do have the revised Intel Chipsets, I know some of the UD5's lately had shipped out with them.
I will check on this later tonight and see if I can get a for sure answer for you guys.
Damn, this board makes it tempting to finally make the leap to I7. Seems like a great board, punching loads of useful features as SATA 3 and USB 3. Must....resist....!
Yea it does some other stuff too
http://www.gigabyte.us/FileList/WebP...812_smart6.htm
theres Gigabytes link. I like the Smart Quickboot and the Smart Quickboost the best, but the other things look handy.
I'm assuming the revised chipset is the Rev B3 (or rev 13) chip which many past models with a recent manufacturing date already have. Any word on when we can expect other x58a boards?
Asus board is out.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131614
Thanks, I'm aware of that Asus board. Though I was referring to Gigabyte's other x58a offerings. Apparently, Asus didn't implement the turbo throttling in that new board. If that's true, I may try out this board as it seems to be available for quite a bit cheaper than the UD7.
I have confirmed the new UD7 does indeed have the revised chipset (X58 B3 Stepping).
The new UD7 has the "333" features, Smart6, Some new buttons, a revised Hybride Heatpipe, socket changes, PCIE Mod is already done at the factory so no hard mod is needed, and the revised chipset.

I'm tempted to order one but I can't find any info about the watercooling fittings ?
Do they use e.g. 1/4" standard ones now or still some uncommon ones ?
(I am using 8/10 tubing with mostly 1/4" fittings as you can guess)
From Manual:
Quote:
For the waterblocks on the North Bridge heatsink, we recommend tubes with inner diameter of 7.5mm and outer diameter of 10mm. After connecting the tubes, make sure that the tubes are attached to the waterblocks securely and tightly and there is no leak.
The current UD5's also have this revised chipset to, the boards are still rev.1, but the way you can tell the difference from the old ones and the new ones is the last PCIE slot on the newer boards is the same blue color as the first 2 PCIE slots, whereas on the older UD5's the last PCIE slot os orange.
MIPS make a really nice replacement waterblock for these boards that allow you to use normal fittings.
http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/at...st-bonus-1.jpg
Well, it was made for the old Extreme, but they look as though they have the same cooling solutions, so I would image that this block would fit the UD7.
At Newegg Now. $349.99 plus shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...13&Tpk=ga-x58a
Wow, that is quite the "premium" price markup there, for a revised chipset, and a new cooler....
Thanks too for the information.
I am going to try the original block first using Teflon & Screw Hose Clamps to fit my 8/10 tubing. First time I won't use metal manual connectors... /crossing fingers.
Well, can't resist and I have the opportunity to get a 3835 batch i7 920 at this moment (supposedly 4.5Ghz 24h/day if not better).
Just some rams for this naughty board. Probably GSkill Trident.
Ordering all that tomorrow. And let's watercool the ATI 5870 at the same time :p.
Wish me luck ;)
So these look to be in stock in a few places. has anyone bought one yet?
I'v got my UD7 last night, testing it now. LLC now has 3 modes, Standard, Level 1 and Level 2. Standard equals the old "off", Level 1 equals the old "on", and Level 2 gives you higher vcore on load. Testing with 1,4v set in bios @4.6 gives 1.376v-1.392v cpu-z idle, and 1.408v - 1.424v cpu-z load. Very happy that they made this third option available.
The socket has casing from Lotes, suspects foxcon for the rest, but not sure.
The bios that came with the mb was F2, and seems very good.
Max bclk I'v managed so far was 21x236 with pifast bench (on water). Forgot to include the cpu-z Mainboard flap, sry.
http://img.techpowerup.org/091128/pifast 1711.jpg
Testing more ...
Not sure what you mean by tripple check, but its the same boot sequence/time as on ud5/extreme.
Looks like it might be time to start an X58A-UD7 users thread. :D
Nice BCLK, this is what i wanted to know, thanks. :)
Latest BIOS is F2b.
I agree. I just ordered mine from the egg to be here tuesday. It's gonna be hard to beat this classified, but at least i have some good numbers to compare. I like the small things about this board. The extra USB voltage should be nice. My G19's LCD doesnt like a 5ft extension. My last gigabyte (EP45 UD3P) was i think my favorite board ever. Gigabyte has sure stepped it up lately in my book.
does anyone know if we are to see refreshes of Gigabyte's current X58 lineup or if they are coming out with new boards all together (like the UD7)?
so is this going to become the official users thread too? :-)
I bet it does!
Sorry you missed this thread lately, we should have PM'd you as much as you have posted on this one!
So did you order a UD7 yet?
I ordered one from the Egg today since the 10% Bing discount came back.
So $349.99 plus 11 for 3 day shipping less $35 Bing discount. Net was $325.
Want to see if this thing can get an i7 920 over 222x21 with HT enabled running Vantage and 3Dmark06.
The R2E can only do 218 BClk for me on all the R2Es I've had.
Thanks for the info...
I just found this board for 258 euro, which is again a little bit acceptable almost (45 euro more expensive than the UD5 and cheaper than the UD5-Extreme??)
So I am considering the UD7 once again (although it has waaaaaay too many SATA ports)
Thanks a lot for this very usefull information!
Do you know if stuff like the pci-e mod is also done on these revised UD5s?
Ordered from from NCIX today. Hoping for 4.8GHz now that I won't be motherboard limited
http://smiliesftw.com/x/eek5xt.gif
BIOS GA-X58A-UD7 - F3a is out.
Mine is IN TRANSIT TO[I] LOUISVILLE, KY, US, NEXT DAY AIR SAVER. although the estimated delivery is blank, I should get it tomorrow. I'll post some results tomorrow night.
http://www.zercom.eu/index.php?p=35&...1&s=1&a=192788
doesnt seem really in stock atm though... (they claim 1 in stock, but they're not really sure :p)
Where do we get it?
Gygabite actual F2..
Thanks
I ordered my GA-X58A-UD7 today :up:
Hi stasio
Thank you very much for the Link :-) Faster then G....
Finally ordered one UD7 that is 'really' in stock (previous order got delayed).
Also bought the Holy Grail batch of the i7 920 D0's: 3849A832
* Tests incoming next week *
Just got mine. Installed and running at first attempt settings which is 4200/1750-12GB (175*24). i'll post back later after i figure this bios out. So far i'm impressed. The board sure feels solid. Must be that xtra copper. Hardly no flex. I hate that the ad--on nb cooler takes up the pci-1x slots. I wanted to be able to do 3-way sli and still keep my xonar.
So far i cant get stable above 4200mhz. Lets hope its just early bios or (most likely) lack of bios knowledge. I've used many templates from the X58-UD5 thread as well as the settings i was running on the Classified with this CPU and Memory. So far nothin has worked from the UD5 thread. 24x175 for 4200 with 12GB @ 1750 cl8 is my best so far. Got a long day tomorrow so testing has officially been suspended for tonight. I'll run p95 over night with my current settings. C'mon new bios lol. It does recover from bad OC settings a lot better/faster than my classified did.
Nice Clocks!!! Any chance of getting your bios settings??? here's a template, just fill in teh blanks :) Thanks so much!!

With that much ram, you are stressing the IMC way too much. Either remove 6gb, or lower latency to cas 9 and up your VTT. Also, make sure your B2B is between 4 and 6.
You can start with the VTT and B2B, if that doesnt work, try cas 9, and if that doesnt, then pull some ram.
You will probably need about 1.4VTT.
Also, even multis are never as stable as odd ones. Try using 23.
