Nice bclk and uncore! Any chance you could post settings for that speed? I'm guessing skews became crucial at that speed, I've managed 220 stable.
i love this board also.doing some quick tests to see what vcore
is needed for 4.5GHz on my new 980x,and so im impressed.:D
i know its not stable,i'll run blend after i hit the lowest vcore.

i love how this cpu at 4.5Ghz just demolishes all the everest benchmarks.
will do some benchmarks soon to see how well the chip does:up:
and then i will experiment with the unlocked multiplier.see if it requires
less vcore for similar frequency using a higher multi and lower bclk.:D
congrats radaja awesome chip :up:Quote:

well here are some benchies at 4.51GHz
with cinebench,i still dont know why it reads at 4.3GHz like the 920's using the turbo 21 multi.but i have the 980x set to 21 and turbo off?

Wow, that's nearly 20x better than an i7 extreme 965 on the AES bench! Even these lower end UD boards seem to push out some amazing stable clocks. Mine will be under water asap, ned to see what this i7 can do. So far (on stock cooling), I've managed 3.7GHz with 1.152vcore and (I think) 1.39vtt. This is with 218x17 and has scaled 100MHz with 0.05v, so if it continues to scale uniformly (particularly on h20), then I should be looking at 4.1GHz on 1.25v, 4.3GHz on 1.35v, and 4.5GHz on 1.45v.
I'll post a screenie shortly...

Two weeks ago!!
Got it under water within an hour of getting it home. Alas, I was at work, then out to watch the England match followed by some drinks, so I just ran a stability test with the pre-saved 3.7GHz profile as above:
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...037GHz1744.jpg
After I got back (and admittedly a little drunk, but capable), I ran into this:
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...205x211640.jpg
Well chuffed so far - a 9.5sec SPi1M stable system - I knew these i7's were good, but wow, so efficient! Vcore isn't tuned down, but just want to run past the large FFT tests and save this profile, then see what more I can get out of this beauty!
Can't pass from second run on linX even on STOCK SETTINGS GOD DAMMIT!!.
But i can reach nice scores on 3Dmark 06

Hi guys, my problem with 24/7 oc wasn't the MB, one of my sticks of ram have problem :(.
this weekend i will ry to post some 24/7 but with 2x2GB for the moment, also i'm looking for 3x2GB kits from G.Skill, trident or ripjaws maybe.
Regards from Chile.
I get a nice config for 24-7 :D.

Nice CPU clocks, but I'd like to see someone push some Elpida Hypers on the UD3R. I can't do jack with either my UD3R or my UD7.
wow, just 1.27v for 4.2GHz! And such a low QPI/VTT as well!
I'm going to settle for 4.2GHz too, nice round number, and still works out as a much faster system compared to my Q9650 at 4.4GHz - and to have a sub 10s PI 1M stable with lower volts all round is nothing to complain about by a long shot!
Anyhoo, here's a shot of my stab at a good PI run at just 4.76GHz - still waaay too hot to try anything harder, my water's running luke warm when idle :(
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...HzPI1M8596.jpg
Temps are definitely the limiting factor, I'm on air reaching 80ºC running LinX at these settings, outside ambient close to 28ºC, room temp...34ºC :eek:
Venomous X is a great cooler but isn't miraculous! :shrug:
I just bought a ud3r (rev 1.6) and set it with an i7 920 and a Zalman 9500led cooler.
After a lot of reading and less effort, i achieved what you see in the attached screenshot.
I only changed
QPI/clock ratio (x36)
Memory multi (x6)
uncore (x13)
vcore 1,17500v
all other voltages are stock
I am satisfied with 3,8ghz.
I don't like to have my ram underclocked though.
I have a 6gb Adata kit rated at 1333mhz - 8-8-8-24(1,65v-1,85v). As you can see from the ss, i have my ram at 1200mhz - 7-7-7-20 with 1,5v ram voltage.
With the above settings if i put a multi of 8, then my ram will run at 1600mhz, that is way too high.
Can you suggest me any other combinations of multi/bclk that will allow me to run my ram close to stock frequency and timings, without raising my voltages a lot?
or maybe
As we speak about a gaming rig, do you think that i should leave it as it is, because i will not notice any differences by raising the ram frequency ?
Thank you!
Astrachan - try this to help find ratios: http://overclocking.gogar.com/corei7.cgi
What is the difference in Rev 1 & 2 of this board please? I can't seem to find out any information on the web.
Thanks!
You can found here,just read the thread.:ROTF:Quote:

I only have the Corsair H50 for cooling but Im hoping for a decent OC anyways 0) I would like to keep HT and Turbo Boost on tho. HT is not that important but I like the idea with TB alot so I will see what I can come up with.
@Anemic,keep us updated with your progress.if you have any questions
theres a lot of folks here that can help you out:up:
i will have a new W3520 soon so i hope i can achieve a nice 4.5GHz OC
with it like my 920 and 980x.im sure it will be a breeze with the x58A-UD3R
this board has never let me down,great OCer for sure

Anyone test G.Skill PI's 2000mhz cas 6-9-6-24 on UD3R?...
i'm testing on Xpower now and runs like hell D:
Back from Xpower to UD3R and Thermaltake Frio on it.

Really nice MB, but is ugly for me, specially when you came from Classified 760 :P...
Regards from Chile
Just swapped in a UD3R V2 and had some major headache. Everything i touched was no post, no boot, or unstable - i already thought the board has a problem. Well, until i found out that this is oc for dummies... :D.
It works fine by leaving everything on auto and just set the ratio to 2:10, vram to 1.60v and pulling 200x21. The G.Skill 6GB F3-16000CL9 are running at 2000 MHz 9-9-9-24 1T. Vcore on auto settles at 1.36v for the 920 D0 which is perfectly fine. Maybe i can keep 1T at 4.3 GHz, i'll try this evening.
Happy so far... :cool:
I've been a little busy over the past few days just tuning the board to ideal 24/7 settings whilst staying within the usual heat/volts threshold:
http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...680100ST-1.jpg
EIST is enabled and working perfectly, and really does give temp temps as low as 30°C if idle for long enough! :cool:
Now testing at 212x21 which will give me 4.45GHz stability, but it seems to need a big jump in volts around this region. Ambient is a little warm at 27°C so when it cools I should have the headroom to hit that 4.5GHz mark.
All this is with the latest F6K bios which works just as well (if not, better) than the other F6 revisions.

Thanks for he heads up on the bios Andrea - will update asap and report back.
On another note, is anyone experiencing major lag or corruption whilst using the jMicron eSata? Having a bit of an issue on my backup drive atm, and and a little concerned about my drive or board being fudged. When copying big files, it'll start off all guns blazing and speed is good, then drive activity will just stop for a minute or so, then continue to let about 10MB of data through between 10-30 second pauses...
Listening back to audio recordings seem to stutter and pause, playback is stuttering the same when seeking back to same place, so my cause for concern grows about some of my data.
Bloody Jmicron controller seems to be behaving weirdly, and their site leaves little to be desired. Marvell don't even have any SATA drivers available, but took the time to upload a video bragging about their SATA3 performance. Luckily they sem to be operating fine.
I've upped the voltage on the ICH and IOH to see if things improve, although I fear my drive may already be hosed. I was just about to embark on a 750G RAID1, and 1TB RAID0 setup too :(
Luckily I do still have backups elsewhere so I will update the bios, and report back.
*edit - turns out F6m is a bit pants for me. Now trying F5 properly, if it yeilds nothing better then I might stick with F6k.
*edit 2 - MY eSata problem was to do with the stupid Jmicron drivers - If you're using the eSata on W7 x64, do not install the jmicron eSata drivers, just stick with the default windows ones (and make sure you have AHCI enabled in bios or you wont have proper hot-plug support). I'm just glad my data is safe! :)
Please provide some feedback so I can finish tweaking and post a full set of results.
My main question: What should I try doing with the voltage settings to keep it stable @ 4ghz, and lower the vcore (and hopefully temperatures) ?
I am having problems tweaking voltages. It will not go past 4ghz using auto, and I would like to lower the voltages and get lower temps by tweaking it manually.
This is a stable 4.0ghz using auto voltage:
http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/7458/autovoltage.jpg
Temperatures @ max Load:
62C 2.8Ghz (133x21) Auto voltage
68C 3.3ghz (150x22) Auto voltage
77C 3.6ghz (164x22) Auto voltage
78C 3.8ghz (173x22) Auto voltage
88C 4.0ghz (182x22) Auto voltage
I can't believe the auto voltage works up to 4.0ghz...
Manual Voltage: (I fail at lowering temperature drop... partly because I am just learning what each of the new voltage settings do)
78C Corsair H50 3.8Ghz (200x19) Rock Solid.
86C Corsair H50 4.0Ghz (182x22) Bluescreens after a while in OCCT.
Core i7 930 /w Corsair H50 + push/pull configuration venting out of the case.
X58A-UDR3 revision 2 (FA bios)
Corsair DDR12800 8/8/8/24 (set manually as per rating... but it never reaches 1600mhz so I don't think the timings are too tight)
Geforce GTX480
Corsair 128gb SSD
Corsair 950w PSU
ASUS Xonar DX
Dumb question: What is the differences between a UD3R or UD7 (and other MB's in GB's 1366 lineup?) I have 2 UD3R's and a UD5 but I can't really tell any differences in them, specs look about the same and it seems like the ud3r and ud7 differences are all in the PWN system and the cooling. UD9 has upgraded PWM vs the ud7 and nf200 quad sli and an astronomical price tag (thats an easy one to tell the differences :D)
The phase/power delivery, the onboard LANs ( I think UD3R is only 1), the cooling setups, and the PCI/PCIE layout's differ for each as well.Quote:

Unless you force-flashed the UD7 F6x one?
*edit - I've just noticed FVA and FVB on tweaktown, what's different about these I wonder?! It's nice to have such a big choice though!
GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noisesQuote:

My P5B did it, along with an AsRock, and about 6 different P45 boards. The powersaving features cause the inductor coils to whine which I'm sure a lot of us have been familiar with in the past. The Gigabyte P45 boards seemed to have the least noise, but my UD3R makes the worst I've heard since the asRock! During Idle, and with nothing open I get very low noise, while playing a BD-R / avi it screeches away and under full load it's virtually silent again. This is of course with EIST & C1E enabled which cause the vcore to vary and inductors to whine.
So I'm assuming the 229 bclk was a UD7 bios flashed to the UD3R?
EIST and C1E are not the cause of the whining, it's when the user turns on D-VID (Dynamic VID). DVID turns CPU voltage down when it's idle and up when loaded, this is why the whining might appear when using a powersaving program as you said and you are completely right about that.Quote:

@subaruwrc
so where is the f6X bios?or did you mean f6n or f6j?
hi
i was thinking about f6 series bios, this is with f6i
and no, its not a ud7 flashed to ud3r
The thought did cross my mind that you meant x - as in any number, but as there was already a UD7 Bios named F6x you should see where we were a bit mixed up! :)
Nice bclk anyway Subaru, what's your max speed like? Volts for 4GHz & upwards?
Yes, I should have explained that better - you do indeed need dynamic VID enabled to get the noise, which is what I use on my 24/7 - 4.4GHz setup.Quote:
If the user don't use this function and set a constant VID then the board will be silent.
sorry about that, didn't know about UD7's f6x biosQuote:

for the core clock its not easy to answer because my cpu is hot as hell even lapped so i cannot bench it for maximum stability e.g. at 4ghz cause i easily hit 90c+ under linx. my max benchable on air is 4.3-4.35ghz 1.4v 4c/8t 3dvantage/06
i have a glacialtec f101pwm on it which is waay weaker than it needed, so i cannot tell you exact mhz to voltage combos above 3.6ghz.im currently using her at 3600core 4c/8t 1.21v load 3600 uncore 1800 7-8-7-20ram 1.33v vtt 3600mhz qpi. these are safe voltages and can be lowered..
damn guys some serious overclocks
radaja you bastard stop showing off that nice CPU :D:p:
today I pretested my little hottie cpu on air
tried to find the max core / uncore / ram mhz 2k6 stable because i will need it for future gtx285 testing

Any major difference between X58A-UD3R v1 and 2? I know with the EP45-UD3P only the 1.0 and 1.1 versions were good.
I had a ud3p 1.6 and was up there with the rest of them, I would have gone further with ln2 just like the rest of them, so that's a myth.
The major difference with the v1 and v2 boards are the phases, but not sure about 1.0 and 1.1.

For those that have a rev 2 of the ud3r, what bios are you finding best?
That chip seems to be running lovely for you Radaja, temps are very nice too. I'm 100MHz off 4.5 for my 920 D0 and still looking for more but am probably at my heat/clock limit. Which bios did you use?
Last BIOS from Gigabyte is AWSOME!!!, finally can run XMP of my G.Skill PI 2000mhz cas6 :D.
This week i will test some stability and higher clocks with tight cas :D
thanks,just sold the chip.i was on bios F5 stillQuote:

R you guys still using earlier BIOS on UD3R? Has anyone tried the Fb16Bios for UD3R?
Iv been having some issues with my computer but I dont know if its the board or what it is. I got a Xonar DX sound card and sometimes the sound gets all laggy for like 3 minutes and then its fine. Sometimes it comes back but usally not if I dont restart the computer. Also, the SLI option in the Nvidia controllpanel dosent show (even tho I have two 260s)! I had it working and it was great but then the drivers just "dissapeard" and I had to reinstall them. I guess Im going to try to uninstall and reinstall tonight...Weird!
I know that newer bios revisions for the rev1 board fixed 'audio stuttering' in some peoples cases - I never experienced it, but may help if this applies to you - try F6m from the gigabyte site if you run a rev 1.
Its rev 2 but I will update bios anywas. Says it has "Improved audio efficiency". Did you update yours from Windows och the Qflash utility? My Qflash cant find any drives and no bios file =/
Has anyone else used all the x16 slots on their X58A-UD3R? For some reason 3 of the slots are running @ 4x instead of x8. I was under the impression that when all slots are used the all have x8 bandwidth however for some reason slot 3 is only running @ x4.
hi i noticed thres not even single Gigabyte X58A-UD3R :s at 4.5ghz linx stable thread ud7 and ud5 there is plenty .and not even here with results over 4ghz with 20+passes with all memory on. my highest linx stable is 21x180 .so this is not any good board i think
fully stable. 4.5 is quite a push for most chips (stable anyway). I can bench up to about 4.78GHz but bclk is probably the limiting factor. 230+ is do-able, and I know more is on dice.
p.s. F6 bios is out - improved CPU & PCI-E x8/x16 compatibility and memory.
Trying it now, no better at o/c for me but not really any decline either.
I did flash to F6 and I got blue screen many time, the error was related to memory management and it did trash my Windows (W7 x64) that I had to reinstall it, and during the installation Windows installer did throw another error.
I flashed back to F6M and all is good again, I don't think that F6 is managing the memory well that it might end up corrupting the registry.
Please report back if you face the same or a similar problem.
Rev 2.0 problem here: My Westmere-EP A0 stepping chips Can't OC at all with either FA or FB bios! Just +1mhz in bclk and it won't post, FA bios is totally broken and the bios hangs in the MIT screens with FA. This is a slight problem because I just bought 8 of them not even thinking about revisions (my Rev 1.0 boards work great!!)
Anyone else have these problems or have a solution?
Solid BIOS on F6m, isn't neccesary upgrade to final F6.
Regards from Chile.

Q3NC; I also installed a 980x B1 retail into a UD3R Rev 2.0 with FA bios. Went into the M.I.T. menu and the bios locked the same as the Q3NC's did with FA bios. It was late so I haven't had a chance to update that Bios to FB and try to see If I could change the Bclk with better results than the Q3NC L5640's. (project for tomorrow; i'll update if I get better results with the FB Bios.)Quote:

Thanks for the help! :up:
:D man, i have Q3VC, Q3QQ, Q3QR and Q3NE......but no Q3NC, but since sameQuote:

*Edit: The Fc1 Bios is up and running with a Westmere-EP A0 on the testing bench at bclk 205 and looking pretty good so far.
Just ordered Gigabyte X58A-UD3R probably going to get version 2 , I hope this isnt the same thing as the ep45-udp3 1.0 and 1.1 cause damn did my g kills go to waste , also is it recommended to get any cooling on the bridge
thanks for you instant feedback:up:Quote:

Hi guys :)
Has anyone found the read points for the rev 2.0 board for Vcore VQPI and Vdimm yet?
My DMM is feeling neglected ;)
I noticed your bclk in your sig, Very nice!! :up: Is that your 24/7 setting? Also could you share all your voltages? And what cooling? Did you have to do anything special to the stock chipset heatsink or just put a fan on it (I peeled the gigabyte covers off of mine)?Quote:

And the full results are in after alot of testing. The Fc1 is working great; completely stable @ 205bclk. Bios takes an extra .02v vs the QPI vs Rev 1.0's but as Biker pointed out that seems to be due to the Rev 2.0's undervolting the QPI more than the Rev 1.0's which seems true since the CPU's are equal. And with the different PWM systems its really comparing apples to oranges anways to expect the bios's to volt equally with a tollerence of .02v.Quote:

Your maroon username suggests to me that addict is the most likely and I also suspect that the moniker applies to more than 11 X58A-UD3R's :rofl:
unhappy ud3r camper here...guys what the heck is the key to running over 213 bclk with this darn board? Should I be cranking my PCIE to 110 or higher? My board seems to go completely haywire over 213, and forget about booting over 218...its prolly user error, just need to know what settings i should be focusing on
QPI>1.4v
Skews 150/150 helped me get over 220 (as well as PCIe, but only needed 103/104).
IOH ~1.3v
Keep uncore & memory multi low.
Use odd CPU multis for better stability.
Hope these help :)
QPI/VTT undervolts by at least 0.07v (0.07-0.09 on my 3 rev 2's) so if you set 1.35v in bios you will get 1.275v real...
Also upgrade to the FB bios if you have not already... FB is much more stable than FA...
(make sure you take note of your settings - a bios update wipes all your saved profiles on this board...)
tried, no apparent helpQuote:

2)ive raised and lowered pretty much every voltage
3)raising PCIE to 102, 105, 110, doesnt help at all at least not at the 215-219 range which is as high as ive tried with that PCIE range.
4)raising the skews to 100, or 150 doesnt help
stable linx 20 passes with all memory
i like my board too now ;) . i was having too high uncore x18 the x17 solved it and its linx 20 passes with all memory stable now
bigger uncore frequency makes very big difference on superpi times etc. when i use x17 uncore vs x18 i can overclock more stable but cant get any real perfomance more
And the numbers keep growing... 13 or 14 x58a-UD3R's now (I lost count :shrug:)Quote:

Letting them sit for a minute or two helps, some times i've had to swap CPU's and clear cmos and do a voodoo dance then they work again. I've had this happen at Overclocked settings as well as at stock settings. And this is with Rev 2.0's of course.
*edit for picture snapped milliseconds before automatic reboot. The bios settings were stable for days at 100%.

I just got a new UD3R REV 2.0 (now upgraded to Fc1 bios), to replace a dead EVGA Micro, and I'm having trouble going higher than 210 bclk.
Could anybody provide me some tips:
Which voltage should I be increasing more for >210 bclk? Once I hit 211, I start bluescreening in windows. My voltages right now, as set in bios:
QPI/VTT: 1.375
CPU vcore: 1.35
CPU PLL: 1.6
ICH Core: 1.32
IOH Core: 1.3
QPI PLL: 1.3
21x19
Uncore: 3780
RAM: 1680
--
Ultimately I am hoping to get to 220x19, if at all possible.
Could be the board's IOH chip holding you back.
look at my sig for bsod codes and how to correct themQuote:

so I have looked at ud3r and ud7 thread not sure where to post , as i have x58a-ud5, so i decided to post here as they mostly the same bios.
looking at some of the posts, guys is hitting under 70c with 4,4ghz on air cooling i just cant seem to get that on my h50.
using i7 920 Do 3849A826
setting im using:
vcore underload for 4.2ghz 1.24v (ht on)
for 4.4ghz 1.344v(ht off)
use level 1 llc
taken from cpuz
vtt:1,23v
ppl: 1.8V tried 1.5
ram : 1.6v
ioh: 1.2
bios:f6k
rest of the settings is just bit higher then stock.
so i am hitting 70c on 4,2ghz with h50 push pull sickles flow r4 90cfm fans and cm scout case ,with r4 fans also.Running prime 95 large fft.
4.4ghz gets to 76c+.
so i was wonder is just h50 that is crap ,or the cpu?
considering im running extremely low volts for 4.2ghz it seems weird.
any help would be grateful, i am getting tx4 thermal paste in few weeks time, using some deepcool stuff at the moment.
