why do you have your QPI PLL 1.100v [1.8000v] set that high??

I have tried cranking the vcore up and while that lets me boot, i am not stable. The higest i have got is 1.42 or so and it drops to 1.36 under load.

Is your chip a C0 or D0. my chip (C0) doesn't want to do 3.8Ghz for crap (Linpack stable).

To get from 4.2 stable to 4.4 HT on stable on my ud5 just needs a big bump in vcore. At 200 x 21 I need 1.275 in bios for stability, at 210 x 21 I need to bump it to 1.393 in the bios to pass 20 runs LinX. I also go QPI from 1.24 at 4.2 ghz up to 1.3 for 4.4, you might need to loosen the ram timings a bit or bump the vdimm depending on your memory. I also have llc enabled & EIST disabled

hey thanks for the info.but still, im not using turbo when im trying 210x20.thats what is confusing me,ive upped the vcore from 1.20v to 1.30v
so im sure if it can do 4200 w/turbo w/1.20v,4200 w/o turbo should be doable w/1,30v.is there any other voltage besides Qpi/vtt that i should change for higher bclk?ive tried qpi/vtt from 1.30v to 1.34v,could it be i need to go higher?ill keep working on it.thank you :up:

Has anyone used the F10D BIOS on the UD4P, how does it fix abnormal CPU temps? Is it worth updating to?

I think it fixed the abnormal temps in the BIOS, not through the OS environment. I was using it and everything ran great. It's like F9C and doesn't cause any issues when entering Safe Mode or anything like that.

Also, there are some new BIOSes that got released (credit to stasio):

ARG, all of a sudden i am getting 6 gig (4 gig usable)
I see other people reporting the problem but am not seeing the cause. I have my memory at 8,8,8,24 at X8 which at my current BCLK of 190 puts my memory at 1520.
Ideas?

*EDIT*
Ok after pulling a stick out one at a time and booting and seeing
4 gig
4 gig (2 gig usable)
4 gig (2 gig usable)

I then stuck in the stick that appears to be bad, and cant boot at all, and i tried it in 2 different slots.

I guess i have a bad stick of ram?

Wow, that's very low Vcore for 4.2GHz stable and excellent temps - what cooling are you using?

M.Fixit,thank you.in that shot i finally was able
to lower my vcore from 1.206v in bios to 1.200v.
as to cooling im on water,and for the LinX run i used
a vent hose from my airconditioner to keep the temps
down low.the hose blows 5c air directly into my rad.:D
i thinks thats what is helping me with being able to
lower the vcore.:up:

still cant get the computer to boot at 210x20
at 207x20 it boots but crashes while loading windows.:(
but ill keep trying:yepp:

Radaja,

Well, I guess that clears things up in my mind - there had to be a reason why you were running so cool :D Care to elaborate on your w/cooling components?

As for running at 210x20, try with turbo on (21 multiplier) - I have read that 200x20 seems much harder to get working. BTW - my UD5 boots at 220 bclk, and I can get into Vista at 4.62GHz with a little over 1.325v. Its not stable though :(
10-11-2009, 04:07 AM

well its a custom loop that i got from someone and it has a XSPC220 rad
not sure what the pump is, the waterblock is an EK supreme.might be better
if i take some pictures.i think its a magicool res.i think the pump is a
Danger Den DD-CPX Pro.at least it looks like that model.

as for the info ill give it a go 210x21 and see what happens.thanks

So i am just gonna go ahead and buy new ram for my UD5. Is there any specific speeds that are beneficial to overclocking? Ram seems a lot more independent then it used to be on the older sockets.

*EDIT*
I went ahead and bought these from newegg
G.SKILL Trident 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-16000CL9T-6GBTD - Retail
I figure if i can get my 20X200 running, my ram can run x10 right at 2000.

I see you were using the XMS memory- did your UD5 set the correct timings for the XMP profile? I have the CAS7 version of the same memory and my GB Extreme simply won't set the correct timings using the XMP profile, whatever BIOS I use. I'd be interested to know how you get on with the GSkill...

Yeah i never used the profile, i think it set something not right so i always just set it by hand. I could test something further if you want as i still have the stick although one is bad.

Kind of you to offer, but no need really. I was mostly curious about the XMP profile issue. Will be interested to see how the GSkills do, especially at high BCLK ;)

JustusIV,

Many people are finding it hard to get 200x20 stable - it seems to be a common (i7 920) problem. So why not try 200x21 (Turbo On) for 4.2 GHz :D or 191x21 (Turbo On) for 4.011GHz?

Here's my effort

[IMG]http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/4642/linx4200mhz.jpg

This is my 24/7 setting- OCCT stable for 2 hours.
But I cannot for the life of me get this board to post at higher than BCLK 215, using multi of 19 and a whole range of relaxed memory timings and QPI VTT. I've tried the RAM and CPU in an EVGA 758 board (that's not the Classified;)) and for a start that recognised the RAM (Corsair XMS 1600MHz CAS 7) timings correctly (which the GB board doesn't, so I have to set them manually) using the XMP profiel. But mainly, it happily got to BCLK 224 pretty easily (the last bit with Eleet- sadly Easy Tune is nowhere near as good) LinX stable. So I tried exactly the same primary timings (11 11 11 28 88 1T) in the GB board, and still no joy above 215. I guess it may be the RAM sub timings which I've left on AUTO, or maybe the board has a wall.
Anyone have any suggestions?
:)

I tested the F9E and i have the same problem as with all biosses after F7.

I did find out what the problem is. I can use all my old settings exept one.

Thats the Uncore. If i change it from auto to any other setting the system will not boot.

I'm running 195 Bclk on 21x multi. Ram 1560. With the F7 i took the 3315 MHz Uncore speeds. But with all biosses after i'm forced to auto and that gave me 3.9 Ghz Uncore in windows. Way to high even on 1.52v.

And i dont want tot run high voltages. With the F7 i'm running 1.262v for the cpu in bios and 1.18v for the uncore. I have tested it a while back. And uncore voltage bump to 1.5 upped the power usage by 35 Watt. The V-core to 1.5 gave a 55 Watt higher power usage. So i want to stay low this time.

Its quite a stupid bug. I also tried 35xx but that did also not boot. If i put it on auto again it works perfectly :S

Ok so my new faster ram showed up today, through it in and booted great. So i was like ok lets crank these babies up. The only thing i did was change the multiplier from 8x to 10x which took it from 1528 to 1910. The ram is rated for 2000. And it didn't boot. had to clr bios and am back on 8x currently. Ideas?
Thanks!!!

*EDIT*
running 9-9-9-24
thats what the ram is rated at.
and 1.66v
10-16-2009, 01:42 PM

i think to run your ram and the uncore at those speeds you'll need more QPI/Vtt volts.thats just what i heard
though.because the uncore(NB) would be almost 4.0GHz.ive seen some people use as much as 1.50v-1.60v QPI/VTT
for those kinds of speeds

EEK no offense but i want a second opinion cause that sounds SCARY!

Am i the only one with the problem that i cant set the uncore speeds manual with a bios later then F7 ?

like i said just what ive been reading on various forums when people
have trouble running ddr3-2000.most think you can just buy sticks rated
for that speed and just put them in and fire it up and have it work.
im not saying for you to do this but telling you what ive read.and
also it all depends on the cpu,IMC how strong/good it is for how much
QPI/vtt is needed.good luck with ddr3-2000:up:

Thanks!!!

*EDIT*
running 9-9-9-24
thats what the ram is rated at.
and 1.66v

You did remeber to set uncore to min 2 x mem mp ?

There are som basic rules that applies to the relationship between the multipliers on i7. If you set your memory mp to 10, the uncore mp must be atleast 20. On a 200 bclk mem mp 10 will run your ram at 2000, but also requires you to run uncore mp at 20 or more, giving 4Ghz uncore if you are using 20 mp (4 Ghz cpu).
Running this high uncore speed requires high vtt, usually around 1.3-1.4 on a D0 - but it is very cpu dependent.

I've got a kit of Mushkin Redline 998691 and am trying to get it stable at 2000. It can pass memtest at 8-9-8-24 timings along with 9-9-9-27, but when I boot into windows and try to stress it with linx it bsods. The only thing I have adjusted is my VTT upto 1.36, otherwise it won't pass memtest. Does it need more VTT? I've tried the ram at 1.64-1.70 and it has given me no improvement. The only other voltage that has been adjusted is the CPU one, which is 1.300 for my rock solid 4.2GHz oc. Any input would be appreciated. I thought I saw a redline thread somewhere, but I think it has been a while.
10-18-2009, 03:28 AM

It is easier to test ram stability at lower mp, try 19. If you pass LinX etc with 19 mp, it is probably uncore that gives you problems at 4.2. Vtt helps with uncore.
It can also be that you need to up the vcore some, because higher mem oc can requiere higher vcore due to the imc.

In general it is much easier to run your ram at 8 mp with tighter timings vs 10 mp and relaxed timings, performance is almost equal.

Cardnut mind you these bsod messages, Lsdmeasap shared with us, for any help

0X00000050 << Incorrect Memory Timing/Freq or Uncore Multi

EEK! Good read thanks for the link, but i just might run my ram slower :)

Quote:

DRAM speed must be in a 1:2 ratio or less to Uncore speed which in turn must be in 1:1 or less ratio to QPI link speed (8:9 Uncore to QPI or lower is preferred as the more you approach 1:1 the more unstable the system becomes).

Ok so after reading re-reading then reading like 10 more times that article. I kind of understand things a bit better however i cant boot with an Uncore multiplier of 20 or 21 it makes my windows restart, this is well under the 4.0ghz it can handle. and if i understand correctly that would allow my ram to run at 10x191 for a speed of 1910
I see everyone else running this with more of a 16mp whats the deal?

Hey guys, im having a hard time on my Gigabyte UD5 board. It just cant do 240BCLK, everytime I but 240BCLK on the Turbo Mode turns itself off, why is that? Do I need subzero cooling? Im on water right now..
This is driving me nuts, my 920 should do 5GHz with ease but this board is holding me back :(

http://www.upload.ee/thumb/230486/240FSB.jpg

and SuperPi 1M, upping by 1MHz more BCLK the Turbo turns off, up to 240MHz is stable though.

Weird issue.
You do realise that using high PCI Express frequency and such extreme vCore are dangerous long term, though?
And I believe your CPU just cannot handle it tbh... Need cold I guess.

I'v had several GB Extreme/UD5 mb's, all of them go to around 210-215 on stock bios values with my cpu's.

The first thing I need to adjust to get further is IOH, I usually set it to 1.16-1.18 from stock 1.1v.

PCI bus should also be set at 102 or 103.

To get past ~218 or so I usually need to play with IOH Clock skew, reduce cpu pll, and sometimes give IOC core a little ekstra.

http://img.techpowerup.org/091019/4332 Linx small.png

Setting for above run was (by memory):
CPU clock skew 500
IOH clock skew 750

PCI 103

QPI/Vtt 1.28v
CPU pll 1.4v
IOH 1.18v
IOC 1.18v

The mb is not modded yet.

+1 for bios settings. My UD5 would break 222blck. My CPU will also do 5GHz+ but board is holding me back. I just killed the board and buying a new one. If I can buy another UD5 instead of spending $500CAD on a classified I'll be happy.

PlatoonSgtElias, you're a freakin animal & it's awesome. I've booted into windows @ 235 x 21 for 4935 but didn't dare try running any kind of stability test (or any load whatsoever).
You're just on water? How many rads do you use & do you keep them in a fridge or something?

FTW - Animal? lol, im human :P
Umm I cant boot into win above 230BCLK, somehow it dosent recognize my HardDrive then, weird.
I use the watercooling that you can see in my sig. I benchmark on the balcony, well my PC is there, I close the door and bench in a warm room :P
Anyway, I finetuned setfsb and got to the point that 235,6MHz is ok but 235,7MHz it will drop the TURBO. Tryed to use EasyTune6 also but no help. So im at a loss, anyone know why is this happening? :(
Btw, what volt is normal for 4GHz on a good D0 24\7? Mine needs 1.3000v in bios and is rocksteady then without turbo, if I turn turbo on 4200MHz its not stable anymore, that kinda sux, this cpu should do 4GHz with 1.1v but I think this motherboard is just not up to it (N)

Human, but still an overclockin animal. I would love to get cold enough to throw that kinda vcore at my chip & see what it could do (planning to order my first DICE/ln2 pot this week).
I use 4.2 Ghz for 24/7 OC, setting vcore @ 1.275 in the bios with llc enabled (qpi 1.26V). In windows I get 1.248 idle & 1.216 loaded. Haven't run 4.0 for a while I believe I was at 1.237 vcore in the bios. All chips are kinda different though, yours may need more but it still takes it & puts out, some just have a wall no matter how much vcore you throw at it. I'm hoping mine just takes the voltage & keeps going faster like yours does.

I'm using the Corsair XMS3 1600MHZ CL7 (ver. 2.2) too, and the actual Vdimm drops on my MB (DFI UT X58) too. 1.665v BIOS-set ends up as 1.64v BIOS-report, 1.64v in SG (DFI's monitoring SW), and 1.65v in Everest. It has been running stable with this Vdimm on it's rated speed, but raising the tRCD makes it more stable, including on this HyperPi32M run @1680MHZ 7-8-7-21 1.65v and CPU @4.41GHZ(210x21) 1.32v.

I have been playing with this kit, and it seams to run much more stable with tRCD one notch higher without loosing any bench-number, but I could never get it stable with 1.62v at these speeds.

You are welcome :). I have never taken off the cooler to look at the chip, but as far as i know all Corsair ver. 2.2 (including this one) are Elpida BBSE chip.

I have only been playing with BCLK210 and 211, and tested CPU and RAM stability only at 211x19, 210x20 and 210x21, and never got a chance to play with all the options for the RAM stability @1600MHZ. But I have seen others to run some kind of stability test @1600MHZ 6-7-6-18 1.635v with these sticks.

For some reason I absolutely cannot get my FSB or whatever its called on these boards over 180 Mhz.

Currently I have 1.275v on both the CPU and QPI, default on IOH, 1.6v on the ram.

CPU is running at 3780 Mhz, ram at 1440 Mhz, which I know is not stable at 1600 due to having 6 sticks.

When I try to increase the motherboard to 185 Mhz with 1.3v on the CPU and QPI volts, plus 1.18v on the IOH, it BSODs within 5 minutes of a quad orthos stress test of each CPU core.

Hey Guys I got a question. How come it takes longer to boot with 19x200 (QPI Link: 3600, Uncore: 3400) than my 20x180 (QPI Link: 3240, Uncore: 3600) setting above? Evertime I turn on my PC i get the beep boot right away with 20x180 (QPI Link: 3240, Uncore: 3600), but it takes around 5-7secs for it to boot with 19x200 (QPI Link: 3600, Uncore: 3400).

Is that normal? If not What should I adjust to get rid of that slow boot?

Thanks in advance!

I think my problem arises from my QPI Clock Ratio and Uncore Clock Ratio. Someone correct me if i am wrong here but i since i run a 16x uncore i have to run a 8x memory multiplier.
If i got any higher then 16 uncore i don't boot.

So this is a weird situation.. I just got this EX58-UD5 board.. fresh i7 920, d0 stepping. Flashed it to F9e and took to overclocking it. No matter what I tried, it would fail Linx within 10 minutes, or OCCT within 5-15. Only time it didn't fail was if I set Small Data sets in OCCT, meaning it was only stressing the CPU.

Flashed it back to F7 since I suspected the new bios was the issue. Tried 150x20 (x21 with Turbo) and all of a sudden it passed OCCT's auto 1 hour. Tried 191x20 with Turbo to hit 4 Ghz and it also passed the 1 hour!

Got all excited, left it on for a longer test but it failed.
Settings are: Vcore 1.3, QPI/VTT: 1.275, DRAM: 1.66 with rest on Auto
Tried setting the others to 1.14, with 1.5 PCIe and and ICH I/O. Tried CPU PLL, 1.3, 1.8, 1.84..doesn't seem to make any difference. If I turn vcore or VTT up, it fails faster!

Turned off Hyperthreading, temps dropped from 80C at max load to ~70C.. still failed all the same.

Now running with again, Vcore 1.3, QPI/VTT at 1.275 and DRAM at 1.66. Running 6GB of OCZ Reaper 1866, at 8-8-8-28 2T timings and ran memtest on them, they passed fine so I don't think it's the ram.
QPI set at 36x, Uncore tried 16x and 17x doesn't seem to make a difference, Memory is at 8x. Options are set at everything enabled except for C3/C6/C7 State Support.

So, should I be happy with my 1 hour of OCCT passing with all 8 threads going full blast. It should be 24/7 stable, considering I'm never going to stress the system that much, right?

Any suggestions on what to try? Small Data Sets seem to be handled fine, I only ran into issues with Medium Data Sets, so I think the Vcore/CPU is doing fine, and it's the board or memory that's holding it back.

Ok, seems that my problem...that I posted above ^^^ is ok now. It boots quicker.

Okay, found the problem I think.. ran MemTest overnight, it reported errors. Will have to RMA the ram. Any suggestion on a good replacement?

So is there actually anyone here using these blocks then??

I'd really like to see pics of peoples rigs that are using them, as I want to see how they have their loops laid out, the thing that I am concerned about is whether I am going to be able to use a compression fitting on the port nearest the ICH10, as it looks although it lines up with the GPU when it is in the first PCIE slot, but I have only seen pics of the mobo outside a case with the blocks on, with no cards in it, so I am not to sure..

I guess even if it is close to the GPU, I can just use a rotary 45 fitting in there.

Would still like to see some pics though!!

I am also interested in hearing if there are any newer BIOSes worth moving to. I'm on F5 right now and would like to move to a newer version for the new version of AHCI, but don't want to lose anything on the OC side. Any suggestions/thoughts?

Guys, I plan to run the max of 3.8Ghz for everyday use cause of the weather where I'm located. Which would be faster? Lower multi and higher BCLK? Or 19x200?

Thanks

Higher bclk, yep.

xzulu - I have the same GSkill Trident C9 kit you do. They have Elpida BBSE IC's and they do DDR3-1600 6-7-6-20 1T easily on 1.535v

Yeah, I just installed the EK kit on a UD5. I wasn't going to go with the Mosfets originally, but went with the flow. :ROTF: Although I'm not sure going watercooled was the greatest idea - using a template from this thread I was getting 180 BCLK fine with the stock cooling and Intel stock heatsink, but with the whole thing EK watercooled I can't set it over 165 BCLK no matter what I try, it just won't boot. I'd love to know what I've screwed up by putting the cooling on... :mad: I'm forced to try now for minimum voltage rather than max speed, which is OK, but...

The loop works fine for me with standard tubing, no fancy couplings. I'll try to post some pics later for you.

Ok, thanks! Will do some testing this weekend. Cheers!

@CryptiK

Hey dude! How's it going?

I can seem to make them even boot at CAS7-7-7-18 at the setting I have posted above. Well, I'll try them out at DDR3-1600 6-7-6-20 1T on 1.535v this weekend. Hopefully it will work out fine.

Nice to see you that you're still active! Cheers!

@CryptiK

I just couldn't wait...LOL!! I tried running them at DDR3-1600 6-7-6-20 1T on 1.535v no go....QPI/VTT at 1.30v, vDimm at 1.56v....

By the way I tried running it before I go to bed at a lower multiplier and higher BCLK...18x212 DDR3-1700.... Here's what I got....will do more testing maybe tomorrow....
