Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has modded the FC final BIOS for the UD5 rev 2.0 with the latest Intel/JMicron/Realtek ROMs, or if this BIOS already includes such updates.
Good question...anybody?? Reason I'm interested is my WEI dropped to 6.5 from 7.8 (OCZ Vertex 2 120Gb). This is on the Gigabyte sata channel, haven't put it back on the Intel to retest yet.Quote:

Retested on all ports (for comparison) and the WEI has increased to 7.4 ....regardless of blue/middle white/ bottom white Sata channels/ports.
Now why it took moving to another port to increase from the 6.5 - I don't know..but now get the same rating as stated.
I have done no tweaking for SSD, just a windows install on AHCI...oh.. this 930 is OC to 4ghz if that matters.
New beta BIOS is out.
Can anyone tell me if the UD5/7 will do the 4 pci-e slots @ x8-x8-x8-x8???
I don't think either the UD5 or UD7 will do that. But you should check out the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9. However, hold onto your wallet and be sure to be sitting down when you scan for a price on that little darling - LOL!
From what I can "cipher" it ought to do x8-x8-x8-x8, and I sure as hell dont want anything with a board NVIDIA chip on it, had enough of that with a P5N32, NOT gonna go that route again. Dont think I need a $600+ board to run 4 5830's either, but cannot get anyone to confirm the UD5/7 will do the pci-e lanes like that....
yes all four will do 8x8x8x8x
Thank you!!!!
Hey guy's, a little off topic to start with.Quote:

Anyway, back on track, and it's probably been there for awhile, but I've noticed the Dynamic Vcore DVID option, but not sure why it's "disabled", there must be another settings required to activate/enable it.
Is it required, or can O/Clocker's do without it ???
I was having a really good run with my OC settings on the UD7 v2, @ 4212, but 2 days ago, had my 1st BSOD, but it was a really hot day, approx 95 F ambient, so I bumped up the QPI a notch. (1.355v)
Running 1.4125 vCore in BIOS, showing 1.392 - 1.408 in CPUz, underload, could I go a little higher ? LLC 2, Spectrum off, etc.
Cheers
UD5 and 7 will do that by spacing is bad, wait for X58A-OC board it will have proper spacing and fit your requirements ;)
Well ive been away for a while so im kind of looking for anything new and what i can do to improve my OC.

hi, what's the best bios for ud7 rev 2.0 now? the FD1?what do i need to have big stability?
GOOC was my fav. You need to do lots of tests for big stability.;)Quote:

if it is, i will ask you about what BIOS is the best for Rev. 1?
and when will the new X58A-OC board be out?
best regards.
try the EX58-UD5 they have a lot of UD5 rev 1.0 owners there :) i have no clue to be honest
roger, thx ;)Quote:

is possible to cross-flash ud7 rev2 bios on ud5 rev2???
with my older ud5 i crossed the extreme bios.... LOL
how? I don't think you can, but there is GOOC BIOS for both boards rev 2.0.
i used a special version of: spiflash without id check...Quote:

Good to see everybody else is taking about cross-flashing.
My good old GB UD7 rev.1 is running with a X5650. It's doing fine, but they have stopped updating BIOS, apparently. Is it possible to cross-flash the GB UD7 rev.1 to a rev.2 BIOS?
what ever gigabyte undid after this bios for the UD5 rev2.0 the clocking sucks.Quote:

Using DVID, & LLC2, as well.

You can give it as much volts as you want as long as temps are good and it's stable.Quote:

It took many, many attempts at rebooting to finally get the old BIOS to restore from the Dual-BIOS feature on the UD5 board. Do NOT use the Fe2 BIOS unless you want a disaster. I see now that Gigabyte has removed the Fe2 Beta BIOS from its web site. But if anyone had previously downloaded it - trash it immediately - don't use it!!! Best regards. TheBeagle
i think maybe they are trying to implement the new 3TB+
Yes there was issue with AHCI mode.
New BIOS is out.
Could someone please help me?
I'm thinking of buying this board but before I do I wanted to know what version firmware the Intel RAID controller is running & what version the SATA 3 firmware is running?
Thank
the SATA6G firmware is always top of the line on GB boards and always updates with new BIOSes. i remember the UD5 rev 2.0 i had had firmware that wasn't even released yet.
You might have more luck at tweaktown forums, or PM LSDMEASAP on these forums.
Does anyone have the conversion chart for these BSOD Error Codes:
0x00000124
(0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA80156FB028, 0x00000000BA000000, 0x0000000000400405)
Thanks for any valid help that can be offered. TheBeagle
Here are the codes that I have:Quote:

Thanks DTR. I was running my i7-980X at 160 x 27 and it was bombing out about halfway through decoding a blu-ray movie. So I upped the Vcore to 1.40v and set the QPI at 1.34v. That seemed to do the trick. Many thanks for the reply posting. TheBeagle
I have my 930 at 4Ghz easy - 1.28v ... but it will NOT go higher, not for hell. With the x6 multiplier for the Ram, I can pretty much keep that out of the equation.
Well, to be exact, I can get to 4.2Ghz, but temps are +90c within seconds of Prime95 /HT enabled - but it takes 1.375 vcore to do that (1.35 @ 4.1Ghz). And this is watercooled. Tried reseating the heatsink several times thinking that could be it.
Kinda given up now and sticking with the 4.0Ghz.
disable HT and and push it to 4.5ghz :up:Quote:

I know HT only gives 10-15% advantage, so I'm thinking 4.5Ghz is the way to go. What say ye all?
Depends on the game played and what chip you are using. In general I would have to say the 4.5 HT off will be more beneficial. Do some benchmarks and see.:up:Quote:

excellent work, the X58A-UD5 rev 2.0 chugging away i see!
Still going strong... Would not boot up past 232 bclk :shakes:
But still i was liking the results.
Hey guys,
So has anyone tested these new UEFI BIOS on a UD7 v2..eg FD8 ??
Just wondering if all the O/C features & settings are still there ???
Cheers

1.675 vtt?
why so much does your chip have a bad IMC?
It dont like anything over 220 bclk only need 1.355 for 215 bclk 8xmem 17x uncore
Does anyone know of a fullcover block for the UD5 rev 2.0??
EK makes them for the UD7 but IDK if they fit the UD5. You can email them and ask if know one knows here.Quote:

Sometimes it does it 3 times before I see a splash screen. This can mean like 10-15 secs of waiting before I see something on my screen. I'm curious because I tested my OCs in Windows with Linpack for HOURS AND HOURS. Should be stable.
Is there something in the BIOS I'm missing? Like initially the power sent to the CPU isn't enough? I remember my old DFI Ultra-D board had some setting for the VCore but also a setting for startup VID or something for when the system first powered up before setting the clock speed?
I'm just wondering if my system is struggling to post or if its just slow in general for everyone to post.
Make sure you are updated to the latest bios first.
When vcore is set to manual the option below it dvid (voltage off set) can be set. the colum on the left contains your cpus VID take this + dvid = total voltage. Example My 4.5ghz overclock need 1.4v at load to be stable. My cpu's VID is 1.25 so i set DVID to +0.1500. This will also let vcore to drop at idle.
Boot issue set boot order to 1. Hdd 2. none. 3 none. Set hdd order with boot os drive set to first. If you need to boot from cd you can press F12 at start up and choose cd.
You can try enabling quick boot. This well omit the IRQ screen during post.
Make sure OS hdd is connected to sata2_0 port cd drive is sata2_5 port all other hdds can be after OS drive.
Has anyone gotten 3TB drives to work on this BIOS?
I have been using the gigabyte RAID in the meantime for my 3TB array, but I was hoping they would have updated the Intel BIOS with this release.
GB has some software you gotta use in conjunction with the 3tb+ BIOS.
I see. That wasn't what I thought they meant by a 3TB fix.
I am trying to use the Intel RAID bios to run two 3TB drives in RAID 1. I was hoping it was a fix for that ROM. I have been using the awful Gigabyte RAID ports in the meantime, but it's really a pain.
Will using one of the custom ROMs listed earlier in this thread update the Intel RAID BIOS to the point where I can do this? If so, which one should I flash? (My board is a GA-X58A-UD5 rev 1.0).
I would get the latest BIOS they have. I know they released some that helped support the larger Drives.Quote:

If you think latest Intel RAID ROM will see them properly send me a PM to remind me and I can do that for you if you like, but I don't use drives that large so I can't test to verify the new ROM allows you to see larger drives like that.
Hey guy's,
I know I'm in the wrong place, but I would like some advice.
I just took delivery of a new GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, i7-2600K, and 8Gb of Corsair Vengeance 1600 C8 RAM.
Any OC hints for this ??? Probably similar to a P67, maybe.
Cheers
Look for advice here:

Hey fellow UD5 R2 owners, question on the dual PWM headers on the board. Anyone know of a way to controll them individually? Gigabyte has Easy Tune 6 which does have PWM support but I'm not sure a) which header it's controlling and b)how to controll the second one independently.
In case your wondering what I'm doing, I have a Thermalright Shaman with a 140mm PWM fan that I have connected to the bottom PWM connector of the main board.
I have heard Speedfan can operate the other fan headers that ET6 does not control. Also heads up Sysfan_2 header only operates at 5v. So fan will operate at half speed. Someone also said speedfan can fix this to operate at full speed.
Thanks, I checked out Speedfan and it did recognize the fans operating speeds but didn't allow for control(or at least I couldn't get it to work).
I'll tool around with it and see if I can make any headroom.
I'm about to receive UD7 ver 2.0 , and currently have UD3R ver. 2.0 , then I can do Bclk comparison with Xeon E5620 on air . I hope there's an improvement , although my UD3R manages 235 mhz bclk on air / 225 mhz stable .
Here you guys go.
X58A-UD5 Rev.2 Fe5 - http://www.mediafire.com/?gcwyq8kv0nan3b6
X58A-UD5 Rev.2 GOOC.W00 bios mod - http://www.mediafire.com/?nsy6g8kb4vgmb6i
Updated with
Update Intel RAID ROM - 10.6.0.1091
Update Realtek - v2.40
J.Micron - 1.0.7.24
There doesn't seem to be any difference with overclocking on UD3R rev. 2.0 or UD7 rev. 2.0 . Only difference is 12 vs 16 phase power and the dual lan and different heatsinks . From that point of view the UD3R is a real good buy - overclocks like hell .
Any chance of modding UD7 ver. 2.0 bios FD9 LSD ? Pretty please .

Remove the cmos battery for 20 min.
Install the jumper for clear cmos and leave on for 20 min.
Remove jumper and install battery.
On boot up try to enter bios and load optimized defaults.
If still no boot Try with minumal hardare only cpu 1 stick of ram and video card.
If still fail to boot. Remove battery and install jumper on clear cmos for up to 24hrs. (this has worked and saved board from being RMAed)
Hi acebmxer,
Thanks for the info, but I can now add that I actually started the PC with no heat sink, just for a split second (as it's a 980x), and it worked, but as soon as I re attached the Swiftech water plate, it won't...there weird thing is, it worked last week :(
EDIT, just tried something else, I backed off the 4 thumbscrews holding the water plate on, by 2 turns, then powered on, it made 1 short beep, then turned off, then started again with the 1 short beep, and it just loops thru this. If I tighten the thumbscrews, then the thing wont do anything but light up a few of the onboard LED's...............
Cheers
It the system will boot or attempt the boot with the heatsink removed (Highly not recommend!!!) but will not start or attemped with it installed. Could be a couple of things. First is you are over tightening the heatsink Try to lossen it up and see if it starts. There could be a short somewhere with the heat sink or possibly bad cpu.Quote:

Hi acebmxer,
I edited my post after your reply....I did loosen off the heat sink, caused different problems, WTF, I think I'll "mothball" this one for awhile, too complicated to disassembled easily.
Just as well I have a good 2600K system to back up with.
Roll on the 2011 chips coming soon :)
Hi acebmxer,Quote:

OK, what do you think of this problem solving....I have stripped everything off the motherboard, I did your extended cmos clearing, pushed the button and it was the same, so I unplugged the main power plugs, tested the PSU (it's only very new) then plugged in only the 24 pin plug, and it worked, as soon as I plug in the 8 pin plug, it starts the quick off & looping...tried a different PSU, same thing.
I guess the next thing is to take the board right out of the case, and breadboard it, to try & determine whether there is a short to the case.
But I reckon the motherboard is a bin job :( $415, only last's 12 months :(
I think you might have a bad cpu. You can try pullling the board from the case and see what happens. but the fact that you losen or remove the heatsink and the system started to respond. I would test with another cpu if you have access to one.Quote:

Tried with no 8 pin plug, seemed to be OK, as far as the looping was concerned, but still no posting beeps.
Next test, I installed the 980x onto an ASUS P6T WS board with a Corsair H70, booted up just fine, recognised the cpu as a 980x, so thank goodness it's OK.
So, I think I will place an order for a G1 Sniper, and start all over again....at least the Sniper will look GOOD in the HAF-X nVidia Edition case :)
I'd still like to know what made it die :( there's no visible burn, or arcing marks anywhere....
Thanks for you help, acebmxer.
Hello
I need your help and you are my last hope.
I accidentally damaged diode and a capacitor on UD5 rev 2.0 motherboard. You can see where on attached pictures. Can I ask you to send me a photo of the whole back of the board and another of the detailed area so I can see if I haven't damaged something else and what capacitor I need to buy? Or maybe somebody knows exactly what this capacitor parameters are? I found out the diode is BAT54a-7-f (KL2 X4).
