Thanks mate
He's in Paris at the moment for the moment mate, just hold on....
Oh sorry didn't know that so far!
Possible without risk? No, it's a modification. Hasn't seemed to affect normal use for me after benching.Quote:

Word of warning, that resistor is small. Very, very small.
Hi guys, my UD3R rev 1.6 has a :censored: BCLK wall at 215MHz, I can do everything 3D, memtest, linx, prime, occt ecc...fully stable but with 216MHz doesn't boot up or freeze immediately :mad:
any suggestion is welcome.
i know how to overclock the intel i7 920 to around 4.2ghz on my x58 giga extreme....but wont go much further any tips? also what is the advantage of increasing pcie voltage? or mhz??
this dosnt work for ud3r i popped my north bridge heat sink off and the lay out of the transistors dosnt match the pic..does any one know how to do it on a x58-ud3r (rev 1.0)Quote:

Thanks for your help so far!

Well, I tried this mod a while ago and failed miserably. I have plenty of resistors but do not have the skill or equipment to perform the modification.
Currently I do not have the resistor in the old or new position. After popping it off, I was unable to solder it back on.
Anyways, on my UD4P, my first PCI-E x16 slot is dead as well as the orange x4 slot right above it. When powering on my rig with either of my 4890's in the first x16 slot, the computer turns all the way on, but the monitor never shows any video. However, the second x16 as well as the third, full length x8 slot all work flawlessly.
If I was to have someone finish this modification for me and solder the resistor into the new space (marked with green on HiCookie's image), would the functionality of the first PCI-E slot return?
I've been afraid to clock my 920 back up there because I don't want to break the board any more than it already is. I took enough of a gamble running it without the resistor in the first place.
Which kind of tweezers shall I use? Any pictures?
As fine point as you can find.Quote:

Ah...ok!
Is a thread there? Concerning this mod?
Do you know any german modders?
I created a thread in the wanted section asking for resistors. I found out about this mod through the forums at Tweaktown, did my reading here, then turned to OCN when I lost the resistor. It's been quite a journey.Quote:

Feels like a waste with my i7 under water, a full cover EK block on the chipset and mosfets, and running at stock clocks...
Also, my second 4890 is running at x8 since the first x16 slot is dead. Not that that makes much of a difference, it's the principal!
Bump?
If it's any difference, the board has been to 4.8 (228 x 21) and back for some pi runs... which is weird since I failed the mod.
its okay, if you loose 0402 resistor ,that one is 1kohm.Quote:

hicookie, what would happen if we just shorted the point where the resistor goes or used a pencil? What voltage does it control?
Interesting point of view, so!:idea:
Kayl lost his resistor too, but had no problems with his board :shrug:Quote:

I have a weird problem now.. got my extreme modded and it wont show more than 203bclk, wtf :o and upping pci-e from 100 to 105mhz wont boot... now wtf is this... have i missed smth? My UD5 works perfect, 220MHz pci-e and 235 bclk but whats this about..?
When i but 210MHz BCLK it shows on boot 203....
edit: Problem was that wrong chip was soldered to wrong place :lol:
Anyway I still need the F9X bios, can someone please pm or send it to movieaward@hotmail.com THANKS! Because F8X is still the FSB problem, on EX58-EXTREME!

This is new Giga ex58 called X58A-UD7, max BCLK=225 in any 3D, cooling by single stage(-50 idle). Same cpu and memory might 235 and more on Gigabyte EX58EXTREME, EVGA Classified, Asus P6T6 WS Revolution. Need hardmod or new BIOS(motherboard aren't mine, so i don't remove stock mobo's cooling )?
hardwall with a X58A-UD7 is at 238. up the pci-e to 108 , decent amount of VTT and up she goes!
Anyone tried doing the mod by only placing a 1k fixed and leaving the other in place?
Also do the resistor pads (one closes the NB specifically) circled in green go to the 4th resistor of the closer bank? I messed mine up a bit. I think its still ok just need to find a different solder point is all ;)
thijs I understand. I try to change pci-e 107-108-109, and qpi voltage 1.51-1.575, ioh -1.2-1.3, ich -1.2-1.3(auto), same voltage give me bclk 235 on another mobo's(EX58Extreme, EVGA E760 etc) My motherboard very strange )
Damn guys!
Anyone should do me the mod here in Germany! I know my board could run very high!!! 19x226 is primestable and 21x220, too!

You should consider several factors, most blck best time, on the other hand is the pot you use homemade overlapping layers 1 and pass just once.

Excellent result Friend, 235 bclk x 20 in greater bclk better, and your configuration to almost 1885 MHz and 7-6-6-15 help much in the record.
I overclock to 30Cº :eek: in Caracas , and I run out the dry ice, it gave me time to squeeze more memory.

CARLOS*A1,
This is for the Gigabyte board, there is a separate Classified thread in the intel section of the forums.
bassplayer,
I stuffed my mod up too, I had similar problems as you did. I sent my board back and got it fixed up for around $90 AUD.
hey guys,
just got my UD4P.
Can do 225BCLK without the mod:
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1035507
Problem is: I also have not the skills to resolder that small thing. Desolder is no problem, but to place it on the other pads is too difficult for me. any tips how to do it best? problem is, the small thing doesn't stays in place. maybe kinda glue it on pcb and then solder:confused:
hi rne
i know it looks scary when you see it and hicookie was laughing at me on MSN when i started @^@#&^@#@(#*&@ swearing a little :rofl:
but what i did is i pulled out an old board that was dead and practiced a couple of times and found it very easy actually....it's all in the process and how you do it
so what i did was i took the smallest flat screwdriver i had...really small one and i push on the side of the resistor with even force to dislodge it......it should come off pretty easy....now be careful not to lose it. It is super small. What you want to do once you've removed it is use your screw driver and try to position the resistor on the new position as per cookies instructions and with one hand press and hold down the resistor in position with that screwdriver from the top............grab the soldiering iron with the other hand and solder one side...now you can let go of screwdriver and solder the other side ....that it done :)...just practice a couple of times on the other board
if you lose it make sure you find a 1K resistor from another board (i lost mine lol)...
Yeah i practiced on an old 9800 Pro.

Think i will mod the board this evening:D
I pushed from one side with the soldering iron against the smd and then it popped off. After that i took a toothpick to get it in the right direction, pressed down and soldered one side. Exactly what you did mate:up:
:D:up:
weigh up the pro's and cons. My UD5 did 225 without the mod, with the mod it did 234. Worth it ? only you can decide. Personally I didnt think it wasQuote:

i think its worth it if your stuck at around 215. Nice clocks btw :)
When you are benching with dice and you have only i7 920, every mhz bclk more is worth to gain:up:
+1 :up: Only chip I can afford.Quote:

Now PCIe 115MHz is no problem. Before 103 was the limit. So one thing besides more bclk is better AM3 Score :D
230seems limit with x36 QPI Multiplier. Maybe with slow mode there is sth. more in it. QPU 1,55V, IOH 1,3V. PCie 115 (120 no boot). Any further tips :-)
Squeezed one more out, but 231 suicid is max on air.
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1037878
End of march, i will do some tests with dry ice. Think ~5MHz BCLK more should be possible with cold.
Hi hicookie, I was wondering if you have a modded bios for EX58-UD4P F12 bios, its the last bios released and its not easy overclocking with it. I am now using the latest F9e you posted and my overclock is once again stable for 100+ LinX runs with all memory at the exact same settings, LinX also finishes about 1 second earlier for every run than on F12. Processor is i7 920 D0 batch 3913B007.
Thanks.
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...920_4sec_805ms this was my running on 240fsb on UD3R
I ever used ex58-extreme which BCLK never more than 228. I did every way to raise PCI-E to be greater than 103 but it wasn't.
Now, I use board X58A-UD7. I can raise it higher than 103 MHz and BCLK up to 242!! on water cooling

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/6667/49ghzresize.png
you're making the owners of this mobo cry..hahahahh
haha sick bclk on water only too jeez
Finally got to try some DICE on my modded ud5 & i7 920. First time using dry ice & I ran out before getting any actual benching done, but I did manage a superpi 1m @ 240 x 21.
What is the max bclk that can be reached on a modded ud5?
Edit: after posting the question I saw that hwbot had done the new revision & found my answer.

To all others: Yes, the PC was on my balcony while the door was closed and I was comfy in +26c :P Outside was -10c i think.
Must look If I have some pics...
Some: http://www.upload.ee/thumb/255033/P1090090.jpghttp://www.upload.ee/thumb/255035/3.jpg
When it was on the balcony I had 3xVolcano12 fans blowing on chipset, VGA etc..
I think I have no picture when I was benching with the rig at that moment but I will have some newer ones soon cuz I have a 5970 now and tweaking the hell out of Win7 right now
This thread is very interesting. I wish I found this a few months ago. I must have lucked out with my board because it will do up to 228bclk fairly easily with only a small increase in PCI-e (it exhibits the same 222 bclk wall that most others hit)
On a UD4p, and F8 bios i was able to get my BLK to 224 with the PCI-e @ 101, 226 with 102, 228 with 103. I managed to boot into windows at 231 with 104, but beyond 228 with up to 105 PCI-e it was hard to get stable enough even to run bench marks and a couple times when the system would crash my graphics drivers were corrupt. Now I know I probably should have shot for a higher PCI-E frequency since its safe for a GTX200 series. The only problem is that I am on air, and even in my garage where it was about 0F/-18C when I did the testing the CPU was too hot to stress test >4.6ghz, and was quite warm gaming and benching past 4.7, so high cpu frequencies are out of my league. Since 220x21 is pretty much my thermal limit for testing 24/7 stability I wouldn't need to run over a 220 Bclk but it would be cool to know if things were stable and safe to run like that in case I ever went with more exotic cooling.
Now I'm wondering if increasing my PCI-e will help stabilize 222x21 for 4.66ghz. After about 8 hours of prime I get a x124 BSOD regardless of QPI/Vtt and QPI/PLL voltage, and I tried adjusting every other setting with no luck (voltages/skew/clock drive/memory timings). Either all the time the chip and/or board have run unstable trying to get 222x21 stable has caused it to degrade or I've hit the limit of my hardware. It still runs 24/7 stable at 210x21=4.4ghz with 1.3v like it did when new, though.
124 BSOD normally is QPI/Vtt, you sure you are pushing it hard enough? High Bclk needs high QPI/Vtt (1.4-1.5+), IOH also helps.
Yes. I'm aware 124 is generally Vtt, and below 220bclk that has always been the case. I have tried 1.2-1.46 Vtt and 1.0-1.44 QPI/PLL. BSOD's come sooner >1.4v QPI. 220x21 is stable with 1.36vcore, and I tried up to 1.45vcore and 1.6-1.9CPU/pll to rule out the CPU cores, although x19 and x20 will remain stable so it could just be the completely stable limit of the CPU itself.
The only instability I have noticed is >211x21 my system will freeze after 12 days, around the same time it did the time before. However, it will pass 48 hrs of Prime small FFT, then 48 of large FFT then 24 of blend+video card stressing. It will hang whether I'm stessing/folding or the system siting idle for those 12 days. I spent from July to October last year trying to figure this out. 210x21 has lasted nearly a whole month of uptime before windows update rebooted it :mad: so that seems stable.
At this point I'm convinced that I have hit the limit of my hardware for 24/7 stability. I'll keep my 210x21 and be happy with it. If i can have my system up all week folding, and Saturday night play 6 hours of ArmA 2, and go back to folding for the next week, that is stable to me. If 220x21 didn't run towards at Intel's Tcase limit of 68C while folding I would definitely spend more time figuring out this 12 day freeze issue.
I'll start a new thread if I end up getting better cooling and want to get >220 as stable as 210. But I must say i'm impressed with being able to bech and game at 228, and boot into windows and run limited benching at 231. I really lucked out from what I can tell.
Wow! Super stoked guys!!
Just dropped in this 980X in my UD7, and on first boot I could boot from BIOS with 230 Bclk, on water. I didn't try higher yet because I have been busy.
Pushed to 235.07 within a few seconds, seems like this CPU will be GREAT under Dry Ice, I can't wait to try it out!! I think within the next day or so I could easily get 240 or above, on water, so I think I may be able to get 250+ on Dry ice possibly?

Will push Ghz soon and see how far she can go on water. This is the best chip I have ever had I think, and I was told it was kind of a dud, well for LN2 anyway.
I know More Ghz matter to most people, but I have a thing for high Bclk's so had to play around with that a bit first before anything.
This beats my previous dry ice runs at -68C by a lot, with 3 different CPU's (920, 965, W3520) and my UD4P (Modified) I could only get 238-239 Bclk, with a TON of hard work, time, and dry ice. And this is only on water day one with CPU, so nice!!
Now I just need some 2000Mhz CAS 7 memory and I will be set!
Anyone know the current X58 Gigabyte Bclk record? I see 242 in this thread, not sure if I have seen higher anywhere else or not?
hey guys, sorry to bring up an old thread. but hey I have an old mobo :)
i have just got 230 bclk with no hardmods with only cpu under h20. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1559946
i will push for more. but with this thread I was understanding that the wall was in the 22x range?
I am a novice with this pushing hardware stuff so any tips to push further would be nice. Thanks :)

Special BIOSes from this thread are not needed, if that is what you meant. Those were just to allow PCIE Freq to be set higher in the BIOS after you do the hard mod, otherwise if you do the mod you can use any BIOS and set the PCIE in windows with SetFSB.Quote:
