in general, the new layout bios have a new vrm driven...
the oscillation of the current is a different from other old bios....
the current with same setting as old bios are too low in idle and in a more situation too high in load...
anyone who try older setting with new bios and surpice..... BSOD...
hi.
I didn't try new bios yet, but if you leave dynamic vcore alone and use fixed vcore with LLC enabled, that should work fine with overclocked chip I suppose?
Even with older bioses I have had trouble keeping stable with dvid active and LLC enabled with anything over 200 bclk i always had to use fixed vcore with LLC
Same. DVID never really worked for me. Using an i7 920 @ 200x20.Quote:

Ideally, DVID should only be used at stock with SpeedStep active and with Vdroop enabled to ensure that undershoot and overshoot boundaries are within specifications (both Intel's and complimentary to the VRM). Outside stock conditions, there are no guarantees it will work as you want it to.Quote:

I'm using F13h for few days and no problems so far, but it seems to be slower in browsing and changing values with new layout in M.I.T. section... Other than new look no real gains over F12 in my case

hi everyone this might sound like a noob question but i have the gigabite-ud5
the thing i wanted to ask is every where i see this bord it has
2x pcie 16x in blue
and 1 pcie8x orrange
but my mobo has 3xblue pci slots is there anyreason for this
or is it me been stupid
thanks guys
Where have you seen an UD5 mobo with just 2x PCI-E slots?
All UD5 boards have 3 PCI-e slots.
thats not what i mentQuote:

and i dont know why
I guess the ES boards / samples for reviews had one orange PCI-E slot. Mine has also 3x blue.
here is the pics so you can see what i meen
my motherbord is on the left with the brown work surface
I wouldnt worry about it. It is probably just early sample of the board for reviews, that has different coloring.

Hey gents,
Just wondering if anyone's experienced a corrupt GUID for Firewire after a BIOS flash? I keep getting the following error message in my console log:
FireWire GUID ffffffffff0020ed is invalid!
Compared to the address written on the sticker that shows the NIC MAC addresses and the Firewire address, this is completely off.
I did a bit of digging around, and it seems people are able to fix nvidia based boards using awdflash /nvguid:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.. I tried awdflash and it gets stuck at "Please wait" and it does no detect a flash type.
Any help would be appreciated. I've contacted Gigabyte support but they have yet to respond.
guys can someone help me here get past 205 bclock with the extreme..just bought these parts recently to try out..using the F13h beta bios..i just want to see if something is wrong or my chip(Batch 3910A) just capped off its limit..

here are my stable setting for 205 bclock resulting for a 4.3Ghz..as you can see the VTT is just 1.35v if i raise it to a higher value it just gives me BSOD with error 124..so i just lower it down and it becomes stable..now my goal is to check whether its the MAX bclock i can squeeze coz when i tune it up to 207 or 208 it just boots but to no avail cant run benches or any apps properly..
Thanks in advance to who can help..

Anyone having issues with F13i taking an age after verifying DMI before it starts?
Hi mate please be careful with the model numbers u are quoting... There is no such thing as EX58A model noQuote:

Yes Dino,right....I told him a few times about naming model numbers,but....:shakes:Quote:

So, I went from F9E to F13h and then F13i. I definitely noticed that F13h is less stable - the same settings that are stable under F9E are not under F13h. I just installed F13i, so I will update once I know more.
One huge difference I have noticed though, is that F13h and F13i have a tendency to "lose" a DIMM of memory while overclocking. This goes away when I set my system back to stock speeds, which makes me wonder if I'm losing the DIMM because the settings I'm trying are too much for the system or if it's an indication that one of my DIMMs or motherboard is faulty - any one have an idea (I apologize if it's been brought up)? I noticed right away that F13i has a new routine built-in that tries to recover the lost DIMM. After three tries it worked, but it took forever to verify the DMI Pool - it's annoying, but not a huge problem.
my test 960@4,2ghz 1,264v-core bios f13i
and test now @4,4ghz its work fine
http://www.abload.de/thumb/42ghzprime1264v3veol.jpg
So, after settling for 195x21 for a while (since it wouldn't do 195+), I pulled the i7 920 out of my GF's machine (she wasn't overclocking it, after all) and tried that out. It does bclk of at least 200 - awesome. However, I'm running into an issue getting it stable. I can get into windows just fine, I can even run about 40 minutes of LinX, but for some reason some games run really, really slow and then crash out to Windows. The weird thing is that some games work just fine. I can play the most demanding sections of Crysis for hours without any issues. Left 4 Dead 2 and a few others, however, won't play for more than a few seconds AND exhibits terrible performance right before crashing out to the desktop.
Upping the uncore multiplier from 16x to 18x seems to fix the choppiness and buys the system an extra minute or so of stability in-game, which I found to be strange. Dropping the CPU Multi to 18x alleviates the problem altogether, resulting in a perfectly stable system. A CPU Multiplier of 19x exhibits the same performance/stability as 20x. Moving from F13h/i to F12 seems to have increased stability a little, as well. I haven't gone back to F9E, which has provided the best overall results to me so far (I plan to do that tomorrow). Basically, I'm looking for some advice in regards to getting past this hurdle. I've tried a VTT as high as 1.4v and VID of 1.376 together so far, but given that I get ~40 minutes of LinX with just 1.36, I'm not sure increasing voltages will even help. It seems as though games that partially load all four cores together, rather than fully loading one or two of them, are the ones exhibiting stability problems, but I haven't been able to confirm this completely.
I've also upped the PCIe frequency to 103 (doesn't boot higher than that), turned of PROCHOT, increased CPU Clock Drive to 1000mv and clock skew to 200ops, and disabled load-line calibration. None changed a thing.
Here are the settings I'm using - does anyone have any ideas as to 1) what might be causing the choppiness and/or 2) some idea of how to get this system stable at 20x200?

Andrea deluxe why is your friend modding bioses to REALLY old Intel Raid bios..............gigabyte bioses are always up to date with those in particular....please don't confuse people with that and also the model numbers mentioned as well!!!!!!
just want to know if there's someone to help me regarding my previous queries here..
TIA..:(
New BIOS is out.
Thanks!Quote:

*By the way anyone running this one?
Just like to say Hello! to everyone here as I'm new to the i7 system. I have been trolling around here for about a week trying to learn from other people's mistakes and victories. So far I have found the O/C of my 920 D0 fairly easy, but not without hiccups. I also learned not to use UD-5 Auto settings as it over volts the :banana::banana::banana::banana:z out of everything. In particular the QPI/VTT which I had on auto and when I went into ET6 after doing some stress testing realized the board had set it to 1.53V:shocked:, my CPU VTT was at 1.1875, so that is quite a difference. I have subsequently lowered to a stable 1.295. Next step is to go for 200 bclk, as I have read anything over 190 bclk needs alot of voltage? any other recommendations?
P.S: Could someone give me a step by step on how to make my esata work please, I have tried everything.
Damn this thread is DEAD !!!!!!!:shocked:
I guess it's up to me to keep this going then!!
Here's another snippet of where I am now. I am not using LLC and the voltage is creeping up, especially after 175 blck. The ram on the other hand has to be considered a steal at what it goes for on line and what I'm able to run it at. G-skill does it again, G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ great kit. Does memory timings impact QPI/VTT greatly? is my quest for faster timings increasing my QPI/VTT? How how can I go with this OC if I'm already at 1.395 QPI/VTT and 1.54 Ram VTT? Thx
I've flashed it today. No difference in overclock. It has new layout, but the downgrade is that it has Intel RAID driver 8.5.0.1023, and before that I was using a modified BIOS f13c from this post: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=4427 , and it had Intel RAID driver 9.6.0.1014.Quote:

F13k will be flashed tomorrow :).
As far as F13J, i was surprised that the cold boot problem with detecting only 4Gb out of 6 is solved. On same voltages and overclock (24/7 stable settings) with previous BIOS-es I've had 2 GB of ram missing every once in a while until shut down PC and power it again to detect all 6Gb, but with the new BIOS that bug is gone, and I didn't re-suited my CPU or made any changes on the setup.
I am glad to hear this. For a while there, I was wondering if there was something wrong with my RAM! I might actually flash to F13k now.Quote:

Wondering if I should start messing with some of the secondary volatges in the bios. When do you find you need to start adjusting them?
When it's all said and done, this mobo ( EX58-UD5 ) will be fondly remembered as the one that just works...
For me it's so stable, it's boring...:rofl:
Yup, pretty much. If you like really busy threads, get a new motherboard with a buggy pre-release BIOS ;)Quote:

Umm......... I thought the GA-X58 and GA-X58A-UD5 were the same, lol. I have the latter. I gotta say though this has been absolutely the best board I have ever worked with. Perhaps it's from doing a bit of research before I bought that helped.Quote:

I feel like they are different boards. Technically the EX58-UD5 and X58A-UD5 to me are a little different. I think the x58a-ud5 replaced the EX58-ud5, but i cant prove it.
I believe the only difference is usb3 sata3 and pci over 103 for 225+ blck for the any X58A-UDx
the power phases of each board are different too depending on the revision.
The f13k is ok, but the oc menue is a bit sluggish.... finaly fixes the problems with my g19. :)
I've not managed to get on with any BIOS after F6. Can't get any of the latter BIOS to boot at anything over 160Bclk. I've tried everything I can think of, same settings or starting over has made no difference. On F6 I can run 4.3ghz linx stable.
Is there something obvious I'm missing?:shrug:
Make sure you disable keep dmi pool and make sure you load optimized defaults after flash. Im Running 4.5ghz 24/7 stable on f12jQuote:

I do like the look of the new BIOS, just wish I could get it to run with a decent speed.

I have used the above settings on every BIOS after F6 and none will boot above 165bclk!:shakes:
Any ideas?
The only thing that stands out to me is your memory timings... try 8-8-8-20 or 9-9-9-24 to see if it boots. Are you using those voltages at 165+ bclk on newer bios's?
The vcore drops to 1.36 in windows and droops to 1.345 under load.
I've tried all manner of memory timings which have made no difference. Yeah QPI seems to want to be high, AUTO sets it at 1.5+! Tried 1.35 and got BSOD in lynx.
What is the BSOD # 101? 124? or E3 or similar, this can tell you whether it's a CPU or QPI/Ram issue.Quote:

Is there a thread outlining what BSODs to look for and which component they are tied to? That would be amazingly helpful.Quote:

If it's BSOD 101, or a two digit ie: E3 or similar than it's your CPU Voltage. Also, to get stability I found that QPI/VTT isn't always what's needed, as a matter of fact too much QPI/VTT will harm your OC as much as not enough. When playing around with the Uncore, I found that the x16 multi required a little IOH Core bump, as a matter of fact, every time you bump your your Uncore, bump your IOH Core. As an example: x16 Uncore multi requires 1.18 IOH Core on my rig, to go to x17 multi I find I need 1.26 IOH Core, x18 multi requires 1.34 etc etc.........Now, increasing your IOH Core does raise the temps somewhat but at the same time helps you lower your QPI/VTT. If you look earlier in the thread I had my QPI/VTT @ 1.335 and once I discovered that messing with IOH Core helped me to stabilize the system I was able to lower it to 1.2950. Another thing for testing I have found very usefull is Hyper Pi run 32m with 16cores, if you go through it around 25min to finish and don't get "not exact in round" than your QPI/Vtt and mem are 100% stable, I found that here actually in this thread, very useful tool for testing mem and QPI in windows. I don't remember who had suggested it, but thanks if you're reading this. The other thing I use is IBT for testing the CPU cores, usually never run more than 5 instances, but for final I will do 10. Obviously if it passes than it's ok. If you get varying Gflops between runs, I have found messing with your CPU PLL helps, as in my case I lowered mine to 1.7V. Great board and platform to work with this board is, and the X58 chipset. GL have fun.Quote:

if setting are really out of wack 124 and 101 can reverse them selves
Any other bsod other then them codes are most likely low or not enough vcore but can be qpi/vtt voltage.
F6 Bios is out, not much difference that I can see other than quicker boot times and had to bump CPU Voltage a bit. This link is for the GA-X58A-UD5 Rev 1.0. Good Bios so far http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...d=3304&dl=1#dl
Thanks for the help guys but it turns out my problems were related to a dodgy PSU. Over the last week I kept getting sporadic reboots up to the point where the damn thing wouldn't even post! New PSU and everything is working perfectly....even on the latest BIOS!!! Weird that a dodgy PSU could cause BIOS issues but hey, I ain't complaining now it's all going well. Time to do some proper testing now :).
Some members as above even don't know that is EX58 Gigabyte thread.Quote:

Just for clarification, the games crash to desktop - the machine does not lock or BSOD. I get no other error message other than the standard "such-and-such has stopped responding yadda yadda." The machine works fine after that other than looping audio.
i find that 3d stressing is much harsher than pi testing, yet prime 95 stresses very well too. other than that i have no clue other than 3d errors caused by the oc. did you push up the pci-e bus?
5 rounds of linx is not enough imho. Try running 10 - 15 rounds.. You may need more vcore. Post your currect settings that are failing.Quote:

One thing that is odd, the BIOS wants to set my uncore multi really high - x19, so I tried bumping it a bit and an uncore of x17 seems to actually help a lot. I tried x18 with IOH at 1.3, but no dice. I've left it at x17 for now. Also, keep in mind this is a C0, not D0 CPU.
I raised the vcore a few notches to 1.425 and it runs through 10 instances of IBT with maximum memory usage just fine and ran through 16-core 32M in Hyper Pi twice, one after another, and yet it still crashes after a few seconds in some games. I've never had a machine do this before - pass much more intensive stress tests just fine and yet be completely unstable in a game.
looks and sounds like it be gpu/driver problem maybe. Try running some other games or 3dmark vantage and see what it does.
I thought that too, but it works fine at stock. Also, I lowered the CPU multi from 20 to 19 ( for 3.8GHz) and it works fine. So, it's definitely related to the overclock, it's just weird to me that a game like GTA would be a better indicator of stability than Hyper Pi and IBT.Quote:

Yes, that was what I took from the situation, as well. At least I've found that raising the uncore multi from 16 to 17 and raising the IOH Core to 1.18v allowed me to reduce the QPI/VTT and CPU PLL voltages. They're working great at 1.32v and 1.8v, respectively.Quote:

Well, those settings have worked for me in the past - helped stabilize an overclock. So I gave them a shot, and they don't seem to impact performance much. The C0's do take extra fiddling - the early ones, especially (this is a week 38 CPU - one of the early batches). I will probably set them back to normal at some point to see if this OC is stable without.Quote:

I finally just got my self the coolermaster H50 to cool off my i7 920 i am now in need of some help :) i have my setting at default at the moment so i was wondering what setting can i go for that should get me some good reults and be stable?
My CPU batch is #3838B556 and it is a D0 i am using a X58 UD5 with the F9E bios.

hey thanks for the settings i updated the bios and put in exactly those settings but it didnt boot for some reason, after saving those settings it restarted and just stayed there with the graphic card fan at max i had to restart the computer and it gave me that fail safe boot because of the overclock.

Try those settings. for my cpu that is too much vcore and vtt for those settings. If you can boot and is stable lower those as low as you can.
BSOD error codes
0x00000050 << Incorrect memory timing/freq or uncore multi
0x00000124 << incorrect qpi/vtt voltage ( to much/not enough)
0x00000101 << not enough Vcore voltage
Tryed those settings acebmxer did exactly the same thing, restared the computer and didnt even boot just stayed there with the black screen.
Add more vcore , u prob gonna need 1.4+
I just tryed that also didnt work doesnt even boot, should i change Bios? im using F12 from Gigabyte like Andrea deluxe told me to put.
Some other setting must be wrong then :\
Have you been messing with your ram by any chance ? Try to loosen the timing on your ram and see what happens.. Maybe apply a bit more vtt , disable turbo performance and any c states and/or speedstep .. See what happens .. Try using odd numbers on the blck?
I have The Exact settings acebmxer gave me that are 3 posts up check it out :)
Thank you
Doesn't matter , every computer overclock differently ... You have to play with diff settings till you can run stable ;)
Try to set ALL voltages except vCore and vDRAM on AUTO for the first time. If it boots than you have to set another value for some of the voltages (probably VTT). If it doesn't boot thank try with other memory divider and other timings. Performance Enhance put on Normal. For 24/7 Expert mode doesn't mean anything. Those modes set up the memory sub-timings lower and gives boost only in Everest memory benchmark so "relax" your memory. CPU PLL voltage "have" to be on 1.8v. When you on air it's better to set it at 1.7-1.8v but when you go on subzero cooling than is good.
I remembered when i had my stock cooler i had some trouble with the memories so what i did was intead of giving the emories 8-8-8 24 i have it 9-9-9 24 and it booted perfectly so at the moment i have this:

Yup , you have to find the sweet spot for the memory and the OC on the CPU , just gotta balance it all out .;) with what you have now it looks great!! If your gonna up your CPU OC def gonna need more vcore and more vtt , but watCh your mem as well .. Adjust in small doses and run LinX for 20 passes for stability
