It seems like USERs of this thread(UD5,EXt) have turned to UD7 ................ :up:
No Complaints m8's ...................... its all for g00dness :yepp:
Just released bios for UD5 & EXt F12 seems to be STABLE than F11
I flashed my UD5 to EXt ............. better than before :D
check my sig guys
I need a spot of help, can someone point out to me where I can measure the RAM voltages for the X58 boards? Specific model being the UD5. I measured everything I could find but didn't spot anything that was close to the RAM voltages at the time.
My UD5 managed to cook the memory controllers on my 920 and the CPU is now almost useless, I'm not very happy and it has proven to be a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: of a time to figure out. Given I stayed within the 0.5v Vtt/RAM difference recommended by major sites I need to confirm what voltages this board is really giving....
Since the UD5 and the Extreme are the same:

Hi! I'm new to Gigabyte. Didn't read whole thread (170+ pages :eek:), but if I understand correctly UD5 and Extreme are almost the same, right? What I mean is that I can cross-flash BIOS, no?

Yes, it can be done (Voids Warranty if you have issues though), you must also find the correct tool to do so with
Hi All!
I have EX58-UD5 with 12 gig corsair dominator.
BIOS: F10, cpu: i7 950.
The problem is I can`t get it work with the ram running at 1600mhz, only 1066.
I can only use bios optimized defaults, but thats below even factory defaults.
Could anybody help or suggest an in depth guide to set BIOS for this configuration please?
I`m noob to bios settings and don`t understand most of the terms like QPI, uncore, etc...
thank you!
set v-qpi to 1.34v and retryQuote:

this is set by optimized defaults.
I only tried to set the uncore and SPD to 3200 / 1600.
I boots without error, but after the self test nothing happens.
Blank screen.
Which of these is v-qpi?
Could you be more specific what is the name of the setting please?
I don`t have a clue what most of these things mean.
thank you!
My Adata 12800 aint stable at 1600MHz also... I mean I get to windows and all but it needs horrible volts maybe 2.0v to work stable. But on the memory it says it works 1.65v.. I have 6x3Gb ADATA in my PC... so whats going on? Do I need to raise the qpi volts to get the memory stable?
first flash the last f12 bios!Quote:

Last night my HTPC´s Laing DDC pump failed and system did shut off at 3 a clock, about.
Morning I did wonder what happened and tried to reboot it.
EX58 Extreme´s diagnostic LED display did quickly stop to C1 and screen was black/blank.
Tried clr cmos and everything, no go.
Different memory modules, one by time, differend slots, same thing.
Then I removed CPU and it works fine with another board.
Now I´m starting to replace that damn pump and then going to try again.
Any suggestions?
And F12 is good bios.

1. I'm trying it right now. It's OK, seem a little more stable then F11, but don't take my opinion for granted, as I'm new to Gigabyte (2 days with F11 and 2 days with F12 :D ), just comparing it with my good old DFI.Quote:

After each reboot board become more and more unstable. After returning to previously stable settings, it's still unstable. Shutting down and cold booting make it become stable again.
DFI has one option to choose if board should cold boot after each BIOS change and save, but didn't found with GB. Is there any? Seems like it does a cold reboot after changing voltage options from auto to manual and vice versa.
I have experienced this as well, particularly with memory timing adjustments.Quote:

There is option "Exit Setup Shut down: Mode 1" on s.1366 boards too.Quote:

Now with Gigabyte it looks stable @ 4.4GHz. We'll see... :rolleyes: (and try 4.5 :D )
I won't sell DFI just yet, cause this GB board with "auto" options is good to learn what engineers think is needed for higher clocks and I'll try it on DFI, maybe I was missing something or doing wrong.
And about flashing to Extreme, it looks like we'll just have to try. :yepp: I don't mind doing it.
I presume there is no problem returning to UD5 BIOS after testing?
Previously (Older BIOS) no it was not a problem to flash back to UD5, now with the new BIOSes it is and I am not sure which BIOS the changes occurred in. More specifically, I know F11 Extreme gets stuck in UD5, so if you flash to it you will be stuck @ Extreme so I would assume F12 also. Flashing back to older Extreme's after the fact and making the backup an older one as well has no effect either.Quote:

The real question is, is there any advantage to flashing to Extreme in the first place? I've not seen the BIOS on the Extreme to know what is different.
Sometimes yes, sometimes the extreme may have new features before the other models, or may have a more stable BIOS. Generally speaking though, no, there is no real advantage to crossflashing from UD5 to Extreme other than just to say you are using UD5 @ Extreme. I know a few who did it just for the image, which you can manually change a few ways if that's all you want it for
They are the same currently anyway, exact matching BIOSes I believe.
Figured as much, thanks. I'll stick with UD5's F12 for now and just tell people I am Extreme :p:
That keeps your warranty safe too!
Of course you are Extreme already, you are here of course aren't you. They should already know.
I will post back here later next week if I can get an answer about my above comments on this
Hmm... After all that you said, looks like there is no need to crossflash.
My rig is doing very good right now anyway, but the ultimate test will be 2 days of folding one BIG work unit (if you know what I'm talking about).
I have a question for you guys who know:
I'm now @~4.4GHz (191x23, x20 UnCore, x18 QPI, x10 MEM), vCore set to 1.4375 in BIOS, after drop it is 1.392 (LLC Enabled) and VTT 1.44V. Trying to lower it to 1.425 vCore and 1.42 VTT.
CPU heated up to 84C last night during testing under LinX @~25C ambient (It's OK, CPU should be lapped).
Interesting thing is that I have never seen it going over 81C on DFI with voltages from 1.408 to 1.472 and was never fully stable.
What is going on? :shrug: I have doubts that there is a problem with my DFI's PWMIC, that it just can't deliver enough current, so I switched to GB for testing purposes.

Me too, there is no need for torturing rig for hours and hours for no reason.Quote:

If those settings by Andrea deluxe don't work, then your memory is probably faulty.Quote:

It could also be that you need more CPU VTT cause of more stress on memory controller due to all slots used.
I checked inside, it`s so overcrowded.Quote:

What about CPU VTT?
I guess I go back to optimized defaults and
set uncore to 3200 and ram to 1600 and
try to lift CPU VTT until I`m stable.
What is CPU VTT called exatly? I find
CPU Vcore, QPI/Vtt, CPU PLL at load line calibration.
What is the highest safe value I should try?
Thanks for reply!
CPU VTT is called QPI VTT on GB boards. Intel's specs say 1.35V, but usually people use up to 1.45V for everyday use.Quote:

I am not sure what version he linked, but I have two different versions and neither will work. Once flashed to EX it will not go back, even if flashing a old EX BIOS.
Ohh hey, we are not talking about FlashSPI, we are talking about SPIFlash which is something totally different. Please be careful in whatever you are trying to do, you will VOID your warranty should something go wrong.
^^^ @Lsdmeasap It will go back to UD5 ................. i myself have done this many number of time (yes im not faking that)
Soryy if it was not working
i have linked the correct one ...... check again
U have to do all this in DOS
write like this C:\SPIFLASH EX58EX.F12
once its done allow it to backup the ext bios to backup bios chip ,then it will function like ext NORMALLY
Yes, I have done it many times in the past as well. But since BIOS F11 EX it will not go back to UD5
I know all about it and how it works, of course, SPIFlash I mean. I crossflashed a few boards UD4P, UD5, and went back to normal version several times, but recently crossflashed a UD5 to Extreme F11 and it is stuck with extreme now. I tried F4-10 EX, and then tried to go back to UD5 with each and had no luck, with both versions new and old SPIFlash that I have.
Sorry to have confused you, I meant neither will work since I have a board that is stuck at Extreme. I think they changed something in the new BIOS to stop people from crossflashing, which made it be stuck with the last board flashed into it with the new BIOS changes.
I was thinking I would have to short the backup BIOS out, with an older EX BIOS in the MAIN so it would recover or I could manually put back a older BIOS into both. The older ones work for sure I know, this is the only time I have ran into this issue since F11 EX
simple solution to the problem:
UD5> EXTREME=OK
EXTREME>UD5=NO
Simple!
use spiflash and flash an older EXTREME F8 bios on a UD5@EXTREME.
After you have an extreme f8 bios on a ud5 reflash ud5 bios using another time spiflah.
^hello I myself flashed First it was UD5 f10 > UD5 f11 > EXT f11 ( f11 was not stable )> back to UD5 f10 > now EXt f12
I don't know why others can't ........... but mine is working like a charm ,with EXt f12 currently on board i can flash back to UD5 f10
I did it ........................
Still curious if I should flash to F12 Extreme BIOS or not, rather not deal with issues flashing back if it is less stable than F11 UD5 that I'm using now.
Is there an easy way to save profiles so you can use them after you flash? I've got 4 or 5 nice profiles that I've been working on for quite some time and wouldn't want to have to start from scratch or write down a bunch of settings :p /lazy
So you understand what I said then Andrea? Did you have the same problem?Quote:

So you got it stuck before too? Then flash UD5 @ EX to F8, then you can flash back to UD5?
F11 is what I have one stuck on right now, I thought I tried F8 but I may have missed it becuase I was mad and in a hurry, but I do know I tried F4 and F6 for sure, F10 as well.
Well you would not want to use one profile from another BIOS anyway, but you could easily write down your settings as a good starting point.Quote:

Best to write down what you need, or not crossflash.
If you did not like it, when you flash back to UD5 (If this is possible using Andrea's mentioned F8 way) then you would have all your profiles back again anyway. Provided the UD5 you flash back to is a saved BIOS with all your profiles in it already.
i have flashed all the bios without problem....Quote:

Ya, it very well could have been my file or USB, but the UD5 files were fine on the USB but I guess that doesn't mean anything. I was in a hurry and mad, so I didn't try all options.
Once I get time I will put them on a FAT partition and see if that gets it flashed back. It's not a big deal anyway though I am fine with Extreme, I just thought it was something they changed since F11 EX BIOS, but I guess not since you guys say you have flashed F11-F12 and back to UD5 without any problems.
If you don't mind sharing your BIOS settings, please do.Quote:

I have been using the F12 BIOS and recently added a few hard drives. In order to accommodate all of them, some of them were hooked to the JMicron (White SATA Ports). They all formatted fine and work like they should, but Everest shows no SMART info on them. The screen where the info should be is grey, while all HDs hooked to the blue ports report like always. There is nothing wrong with the new drives, and I also hooked up a drive from the blue port to the white one, and it stopped reporting SMART data.
I had to go as far back as the F8H BIOS, to get SMART data to report anything, and even then it was only the temp. I am now on F7, and I still only see temp.
It would be really nice to have a new BIOS like F12 that had working SMART for all SATA ports.
I am open to suggestions or help. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Just flashed my bios from F9d to F12 and with same settings have lost some blck. from 226 down to 221. Ill test some more with vcore to see if its worth me sticking with f12 or go back to f9d.
and while im here. does anyone know the safe working temps for nb on the xtreme board. thanks.

But when I run something really stressful like OCCT Linpack x64, the machine just shuts down instantly and reboots, no BSOD or anything. I've tweaked every BIOS setting, both up and down and nothing even makes an improvement. I was faily certain it was the MB causing the problem so I swapped in my old X58-DS4 and it's currently running 180x25 4500MHz with the same voltage settings I used on the UD5, fully stable in OCCT Linpack. Anyone have any ideas? I don't think I can RMA the board since it works fine at stock speed. Personally I think something is wrong with the power delivery circuitry for the CPU socket, or perhaps it's not up to the task of powerig a 980x at high clocks in the first place. Thanks for reading!
try f6c!Quote:

Some boards seem to come with better or cleaner voltage and some worse. I would take Andrea's advice and try the F6 bios.Quote:

I'm running on 4Ghz atm, it works ok with simple tasks like browsing, superpi,... but when I try pcmark vantage etc it crashes..

It's a bit more stable, but still crashing. what else can I try? Idle temps are ±40°C, about 70 before it crashes when stressing it.
The 920 got CPU Stepping C0/C1
Try uncore x17-18, and depending on your CPU you may still need a bit more QPI/Vtt and or Vcore.
Are you getting a BSOD? If so what is the code? (0x00000000)
BSOD Error codes and what they mean:
0X00000050 << Incorrect Memory Timing/Freq or Uncore Multi
0X00000124 << Incorrect QPI/Vtt Voltage (To Much/Not Enough)
0X00000101 << Not enough Vcore Voltage

anyone know what changed with f13c on the extreme?
So is it worth it to upgrade from one of the first initial BIOS's that I have on my board? Pre S3 resume on overclocked machines. Aside from that fix?
Andrea deluxe,
GA-EX58A-UD7(UD5,UD3R),should be X58A.:D
What is the "performance enhance" setting and what should it set to be for overclocking? I would imagine going to Extreme to tighten settings up for RAM, but seems to me people keep recommending standard?
exactly.... on my p45-ud4p i could run standard or turbo i had trouble with extreme at some overclocks.. On my x58-ud5 all i use is extreme.Quote:

Doesn't seem to affect stability (or speed) as much as some boards/BIOS. I get my OC and primary timings stable at Standard, then switch to Extreme and see if it is still stable, usually good for a little boost in memory bandwidth but not all that much else.Quote:

Though with manual tweaking you can do much more. :p:
I've had this mobo for a bit longer than usual... Yeah I get the upgrade itch, usually not for a valid reason...I just get it... I've had a thing for the P6X58D Premium since before it was even released, but sadly my UD5 is still going strong. Sucks, I have no reason to upgrade.
So dependable....
Anyone use F6e on their X58A-UD5? Any difference?
have a similar problemQuote:

Hi guys,
I have the Gigabyte X58A-UD5 and bought the EK water blocks for it. However the two moffset blocks don't fit the X58A version.
Do you think I could cut the stock cooling pipes just before the moffets heat sinks and leave them cooling the moffsets as they are, and then have the main EK waterblock cooling the NB, SB and SATA controller?
Would the two moffset heat sinks on their own provide sufficient cooling?
Cheers
Any update for GA-EX58-Extreme?Quote:

is 40c idle ok for a i7 920 at 1.2v , running it at stock clocks and stock heatjunk
room temp around 27c
Sounds about right given the circumstances. Respectable really given the higher than average ambient heat.Quote:

ok i was wrong , ambient is 24c~ , my load temp max at 64c , and lowered vcore to 1.00v
i cant get it stable at 0.8v !
X58-UD5 latest bios
hi everyone im just wanting to know if some peapole are having the same as me.
I can get cold boots at stock speeds (even at auto) but now i have my i7 920@3.5ghz using 1.125volts in bios i have not had a cold boot yet.
I dont understand it if i go any higher in core speed i get cold boots again wtf is going on does any one else have this
thanks :)
Same here, have been thinking about replacing my GA-EX58-Extreme. Though it does seem to be acting cranky of late (looking for an reason :ROTF: ).. I've had my 920 C0 stable at 4.2 a while back but down clocked it last summer due to room temps.. this last winter I tried pushing it back up and it wouldn't stay fully stably at anything past 3.8 :(.. Got a 980x reciently and it's been cranky on that board.. can't say i've put a lot of time into OC'ing it but had it up to 200x19 pass IBT max settings 10pass, OCCT 1hr and prime for about 4hrs.. then next day it started blue screening :(, so I dropped it back down a bit till I get more time. (also had it "stable" at 160x27 for a while too...then started acting up again) Temps stayed below 60c load.Quote:

Had a bit of a talk (ok bumped up the voltages) and currently have my 980x stable at 200x21.. bios F12. Highest temp during stress testing was 68c.. (memory is holding at 1600 cl7,7,7,24,1) but looks like I still have some room.. will push it a bit further next weekend I think :)Quote:

You have the open multis to play with, especial when your clocking your mem so low.
It wasn't cooperating when I went over a 27 multiplier when i tried it with a lower bclk but that was before that Hd went out..so that may have been the issue. I'll be working on uping the multiplier now..Quote:
