******Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4 Discussion Thread******

Imo misconception with "why I can't boot up with BCLK 104?"...Yes, most of the time (if you use) post code reader will stuck @ C1 or 4E and your UD4 will reboot endlessly.... you wasted that expensive LN2

How bout try BCLK 100 and use easy tune 6 in windows (the mobo maker invented ET6 for a reason)...If you use a good elpida hyper based ram and your 2600K can boot up @ 59X then set BCLK 100/2133/59X in bios then use ET6 frequency slider to go up till max benchable setting your system can go.

For now, overclocking SB basically is to find a 2600K/2500K than can go 59X and mobo should be the last piece of hardware that we have to worry about

If I well remember, mafio tried 3 kits of hypers on this mobo, with no luck: on the asus mobo, it never arrived to post.
On this giga, they arrived to post, sometimes, but no more else.
What kit of hypers did you use, with which bios, dumo?

Its Dom GT 2000 C8, those old TR3 Iron, but it needs 1.8+Vdimm/1.2+VTT to run 7-8-7-24 benchable @ 2133+ with F5 bios. Its too much headache:(

I like MIVE because its smoother on memory clocking and boot up, but it killed my first 58X chip:( Never trust its pwm for high Vcore on extended benching usage afterward

What board do you run now, Iron?

Lol, I just bought used Dominators GT, the ones with psc, not hypers, you're message is not encouraging :D
Anyway, right now I have a dead cpu, so I must rma it and, togheter with that, I was thinking about changing our old p8p67pro B2 in a Gene-z, by adding some money to pay the price difference.
The rog series have indeed soooooo much support, let's hope the gene-z would be as solid as the little pro. :)

P67A-UD4-B3 - F6e is out.

tryed now....

work very well

improvement:

LLC upper voltage in idle is lower than other bios (great)
memory copy up to 1000mb/s greater
aida64 photo worx from 67000 to 69500 (wow)

Z68XP-UD4 - F5a is out.
Edit:
and P67A-UD4-B3 - F6f

This should be new:

flashed and have the same performance of f6e

but how change the performance that newer setting?

Maybe CTRL+F1 ?:shrug:
or this is for Z68........?
Edit:
try to rewrite the DMI data and Load Optimize Default after flash BIOS.
Btw,
I think in F6f BIOS,GB Taiwan put back LLC....Auto/Disabled/Enabled,so you can use DVID and LLC Enabled again.

whats with LLC back to auto/enable/disable, is f6e not good then or is it just to be there to be found if needed

Read properly above,F6f BIOS have now back LLC with 3 levels (Auto/Disabled/Enabled),as before.

thats what i sad -.-'

GA-P67A-UD4-B3 - F6f

-LLC work with DVID
-19.Sep 11

Btw,
here is same but modded F6f with:
1. Intel® RAID ROM 11.0.0.1124
2. Realtek LAN ROM 2.41

fantastic.

now llc work fine..

i have set llc level 4 and set 1.330v and i get:

1.344 idle
1.356 load

Fun!

thx stasio

performace of memory write ,read,copy is great, and the bclk is finally not droping to 99,xmhz its now 100,3 :D
didnt tryed levels yet, i am going to solder wires to condenser and read ii wtih unimetar

Yeah,seems all beta BIOS's after September 14 are getting good performance.

great f**ng bios! ( f6f)

I agree. F6F is allowing me to run 5.0GHz with 1.41v (1.42 loaded) which was impossible before now. I think they're starting to get the BIOS straight and turning this board into a great overclocker.

Thanks for the modded BIOS stasio :up:

it's mean NO-VDROP ?

yep

I really like the F6F BIOS, but I still can't get the board to overclock without using the DVID method for adjusting vcore. If I set the LLC level to 4, the vcore to 1.380 it gives me around 1.404 idle and 1.42v loaded...which is exactly what I need for 5GHz. The problem is that these settings don't pass 10 seconds (literally) of LinX. If I set the vcore to normal and use a DVID offset of +0.055 I get the exact same voltages as above, but I'm able to run 20+ passes with LinX.

has anyone else seen this? I've tried with all C-States disabled, enabled, and auto, PLL override enabled and disabled, Spread Spectrum Enabled and Disabled...but nothing works.

Thanks

Have you compared the temps with both settings? If the temps are lower, but voltage readout is the same (without the offsets) then looks like something is wrong...
Even more important, did you test the voltages with a multimeter? If you test with DMM, then you would know if the board is reporting the wrong voltages or not...and this is important to find out.

Because the old level 4 had massive vdroop, but this one has vrise, but according to your test with LinX, maybe something is really wrong with the voltages, and the vdrop is the same as it used to be back when people had bad vdrop with the lower levels?

i am saying if they follow teh Sniper 2 BIOS as a baseline they will do just fine.

@ all = coz i'm ex UD4 user
i'll buy ASUS p8p67 pro, here's different on BIOS



DIV MEM up to 2400
