I was wondering if you have this enabled? If not ET6 may not be enabling it for you in the bios, so it does nothing. :shrug:
Thanks! Dino did a clean test install last night, and it didn't work for him then either! So it must be something we need to install, or it's just random possibly?Quote:

I know it has to be enabled of course to change Bclk from BIOS, and ya I'd expect it to be enabled from windows via easytune if you change the Bclk, so I think that might be expected result. Same with enabling Multi change in OS from easytune.
I was not able to get it to fail again. I cant find a bios setting or combination of settings to make it fail.
Ok, thanks! Ya, I tried a ton of enable/disable too without any luck.
Since Dino now has a clean setup failing, I think it's either random or something we need to install in the OS that we just aren't aware of yet.
Is there any reason to leave turbo mode enabled when overclocking via the multipleir?
Nope you don't need to unless you want to increase TDP and TDC, but i think the UD7 has no problem with this, like the UD4 does. It seems most people have to enable TDp and TDc and raise it to 200-300 to get higher OCes with the UD4.Quote:

hey so i just tried and I can change BLCk in windows with ET6. I have everything loaded to optimized defaults with blck control disabled, and I am able to change blck through windows. I am trying different combos like cpu pll overvoltage enabled and ratio os change and turbo and votlage and everything.
I have teh same action, blck control will be disabled on boot up, then when i change blck through ET6 it enabled it upon reboot.
i also found another wierd thing, when i set 107.7blck you can watch CPU-Z slowly change blck in increments and then it froze at 105.9, 107.7 blck was stable on my other chip with BIOS F6E, this BIOS is a no go for my better chip and BLCK, max is lower than 107. i believe that BLCK is tied into chip as well as board.
TEvery time you change blck in BIOS the system hard resets itself, i thought that the blck since was fed through the PCH the PCH had to be reset to change blck, i guess this is not true, you can indeed change blck through windows. CPU-Z version 1.56.2(i know 1.56.3 is out) BIOS F7E, and ETS B10.102.1. i am going to try the latest version of easytune.
Latest easytune off GB website works as well.

I might give 1.60v a go with LLC2, but do you get BIOS checksum error after messing around too much? Yesterday when trying different overclocks i got that BIOS checksum error various times causing the computer to reboot maybe 10 times before it fixed its self and it reverted back to F3 bios.Quote:

Don't worry about it, that is what the backup BIOS is for. But it is an indicator that the OC isn't stable. I found that F3, F5, F6X, and F6E were most stable from most to least stable, the others weren't very stable, I am still testing the newest BIOS.
By that you mean F3 was the most stable?Quote:

At the moment i'm running:
2600K - 4.5Ghz
Ram - 1866 9-9-9-24 1T
Vcore - 1.275v
QPI/VTT - 1.080v
CPU PLL - 1.70v
VDimm - 1.58v
I ran Prim95 small FFTs and LinX with 70% ram utilization at the same time and it ran solidly for over an hour. I've also had it that way for over a day now. So i think this is a nice 24/7 overclock.
But now i need to get more out of the chip. Currently i have booted at 5.6Ghz, but i BSOD when i enter windows. I thnk i might push it up to 1.60v with LLC level 2.
I can't seem to crack 5.5Ghz. 5.6 just doesn't work out :(. I'll leave it be for a while and see how other people go and wait for a more stable BIOS before i try again.
Fresh install of W7 64, and et6 is is not showing bclk now. Ill do the rest of the updates and video drivers and see if it works again.Quote:

When I set my bios to 1.305 and use LLC1 boot with 45 multi voltage drops on any stress test the comp locks.
Any suggestions on what to do with CPU PLL voltages and the power saving features is there some that can be useful for day to day ?
Ok looks like two clear bug reports.
1) LLC level 2 is NOT working on UD5--NO POST; LLC level 1 is actually level 2 (overvolt by 0.04). And guys please remember its 0.04 NOT 0.4...0.4 would be something like 1.3 to 1.7v...(a lot of people making that mistake; I would hate for someone to make this mistake in the BIOS and fry a chip).
2) LLC level 1 is NOT working on UD7 (runs, but vdroop is only reduced by 0.01 compared to "standard/auto", but LLC level 2 is (0.04 overvolt).
LLC2 overvolts my vcore by much more than .04 from the bios setting?Quote:

The load vcore seems to be what matters. If the chip is stable at 1.272 load, I adjust the vcore until I get the same load vcore weather Im using Standard, LLC1 or LLC2.
Yeah,in the case of freeze/BSOD or any fault,I also cut the power to the PSU and BIOS give me my setting back.Quote:

Getting some weird issues with either this board or the ram I'm using (8GB Patriot Xtreme 2000Mhz)
I have the same batch as a few people around her L040B307. Seems to be a quite decent batch.
Settings
Trying to boot in at (100x50) 5Ghz @ 1.4V with LLC @ LVL1, VTT set to 1.1V, Ram set to 1.64V
I've set ram to auto timings. Set to 1866Mhz by default after activating XMP.
Turbo off, PLL Over voltage enabled and all power saving features off.
------------------------------------------------
Most times it will just freeze at the Windows Logo on Login, but sometimes it gets into Windows. I tried to install afterburner and I got a BSOD with Error 124.
Looking at those settings, they seem to be pretty conservative for this batch.
I've seem many other use much less volts for the same batch to get higher speeds.
I can't really understand whether it's just the board being temperamental or if it's my ram or both.
I know this chip and board can do well over 5Ghz just need some guidance haha.
Yeah, I'm having major spi32m @ 2133 problems. Not stable by any means. :(Quote:

Hey guys,
Had a question,
I'm fully stable on 5 GHZ @ 1.375 vcore (in bios) with LLC Level 2. (tested with Prime95, OCCT, and IBT)
This nets me 1.398 in Windows and under full load between 1.416-1.428.
Now Reading Sin0822's awesome review of this MoBo. He states that LLC Level 2 is not recommended due to the heat and the fact that the LLC might make your voltage go higher down the road without you even knowing it.
I've used LLC on my Rampage 2 Extreme with pretty much no problem and my temps are from 65-70 across all cores.
So here's my question,
I now know my Chip needs 1.416-1.428 to be stable in windows. Should I use LLC Level 1 and ramp the vcore to 1.47 in bios (which nets me 1.44 in windows) and then when underload vdroop goes to 1.416-1.428? From bios that's still a .05+ vdroop, which isn't that great.
LLC on my Rampage 2 Extreme would pretty much nullify any vdroop.
Whatcha guys think?
no
you are better off sticking to the current setting because you will be operating at much lower voltage at most times, it is better for LLC to overvolt a bit than undervolt if you have a choice
yea stick with what you have, I meant to state that LLC level2 causes a lot of heat above 1.5v and if you cannot handle it then you should go for more traditional LLC Level1, because it doesn't raise voltage as much when amperage is also raised so there is lower final vcore and lower heat.
honestly i just write LLC being dangerous in some cases because of old problems with LLC, right now the way the VRm is done on these GB boards, there is really no problems like transient spikes that can cause harm to the CPU, i think i am going to edit that part of my article a tiny bit to clear it up. i use LLC Level2 when OCing.
^^This.Quote:

The warning about LLC2 is that you're applying too much voltage to the chip to begin with, in order to make it stable, and the temps...combine that with the stress testing and you get degradation. 1.5v on air and trying to run prime is NOT a good thing...
SO are going to see a new bios or its the same interface? :)
taken from this link : http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.com/20...echnology.html
All GIGABYTE P67 and H67 chipset motherboards produced today ship with GIGABYTE’s Hybrid EFI Technology, and we have started porting this new BIOS to other chipset platforms with the intention to make it available on every currently shipping GIGABYTE motherboard. You’ll see the statement below start to appear on various online forums around the web as we start to promote this unique new GIGABYTE feature.
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
3TB+ HDD support is an essential new feature for 2011 and has been one of the most talked about technologies accompanying the launch of the new Socket 1155 6 series motherboards. GIGABYTE not only supports booting from 3TB+ HDDs on all new P67 and H67 chipset motherboards, we offer the ability to boot from 3TB+ HDDs on all currently shipping GIGABYTE motherboard models (from high-end X58 chipset models down to the entry level new G41 chipset models) through GIGABYTE’s unique Hybrid EFI Technology. Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE’s mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE’s @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.
Tech companies love a good Q&A because we tell ourselves that people are interested in our new tech and are asking these pertinent questions of it. So here is our GIGABYTE Hybrid EFI Technology Q&A:
Question 1: When will GIGABYTE introduce an EFI compatible BIOS for their motherboards?
Answer 1: GIGABYTE has already introduced Hybrid EFI Technology that is fully compliant with EFI aware operating systems. This BIOS is shipping now with all GIGABYTE P67 and H67 chipset motherboards, and we have started introducing this BIOS on motherboards using other chipsets with the intention of making is available on all GIGABYTE motherboards.
Question 2: Why did GIGABYTE choose to use a hybrid EFI instead of a standard EFI technology?
Answer 2: GIGABYTE Hybrid EFI Technology allows us to quickly offer EFI functionality to a whole range of motherboards, not just the latest 6 series products, because it is based on GIGABYTE’s tried and tested BIOS.
Question 3: Why does GIGABYTE’s Hybrid EFI Technology not support using a mouse or have a mouse-friendly graphical interface?
Answer 3: Mouse support and the accompanying graphical interface are not part of the EFI spec. That’s why some motherboard makers have chosen to have mouse support with their EFI BIOS while others don’t. One of the features of the EFI BIOS is that it is modular, so mouse support and a graphical interface are additional modules that some vendors have added to their EFI BIOS. This also explains how GIGABYTE has been able to add an EFI module to our stable and reliable BIOS. GIGABYTE’s Hybrid EFI technology keeps the same familiar interface that millions of users are used to. It is quick, easy to use and overclockers can enter the BIOS and change settings as quickly (or even quicker) than if they were using a mouse.
Question 4: What are the advantages of GIGABYTE’s Hybrid EFI Technology?
Answer 4:
1. It supports booting from 2.2TB+ HDDs. GIGABYTE mentions 3TB+ because the next size up from a 2TB HDD is actually 3TB, not 2.2TB. GIGABYTE Hybrid EFI Technology provides headroom for a maximum disk and partition size of 9.4ZB (9.4 x 1021 bytes; kB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, YB, etc...)
2. It uses a reliable, tried and tested GIGABYTE Award BIOS that has been updated and improved over many years. Our BIOS is compatible with thousands of ICs, components and 3rd party products – a new BIOS needs a lot of compatibility testing before it is as mature as our Award BIOS. So basically we have the Best of Both Worlds with our Hybrid EFI Technology: stability of a mature BIOS and the 2.2TB+ support of an EFI BIOS.
3. Because of its design, it is easier to be backwards compatible with older motherboard models –X58 chipset down to new G41 chipset models will be able to enjoy Hybrid EFI Technology. So we are protecting our customers buying decision and helping to future proof their purchase. No other EFI solution can offer this!
4. GIGABYTE Hybrid EFI Technology is fully compliant with both EFI aware and non EFI aware operating systems.
It wont boot either way above 50 multi.Quote:

Have you tried manually setting the PLL voltage slightly higher?Quote:

I've tried multiple or all of those together and it wont boot.
I ran a quick memtest @ 1866Mhz.
I escaped out of the memtest, the board rebooted and it said the overclock had failed.
It then went into a boot loop and eventually came back at stock settings.
I have tried booting with one stick @ 1866mhz for 5Ghz, it got into windows and then BSOD 124.
I really don't know what else to try.
It's giving me the F&*king S&*Ts!!
One of the worst boards I have ever used in terms of overclocking.
It just seems so primitive in it's adaptation.
I know this chip is better than 50x Multi. I just can't find the reason it wont go further. If it's the ram or the board itself.
@Dino - I'm happy to send you the ram if you want so you can have a play around with them.
BTW...Link to Ram - http://www.techwarelabs.com/patriot-...mance-ram-kit/
Just a heads up...
I have so far tried the following bioses: F3, F6x, F6e, F7a, F7d, F7e.
None of which have done much.
Set CPU PLL voltage to 1.90 and Vcore to 1.50v and see if you can boot. If you can, take the voltages down.Quote:

My bet is that your CPU needs more Vcore. Quite a lot of people need 1.50v to get 5Ghz. You trying 1.45 so maybe you need more?
I wish increasing the CPU PLL like this could tear down the "4E wall" I am bumping into when trying 55x100...Quote:

I received word back from Taiwan last night in regards to Easytune and Bclk, and they have figured out what is causing the issue!
You must install Intel Management Software from the motherboard install CD.
So for anyone having issues with Easytune and changing Bclk as seen below, please install the following software from your install CD.

Big thanks to the Gigabyte team, I spent many hours trying to find the cause of this and I'm sure others have as well!
Gigabyte rocks as always!
Thanks for the info, i was wondering why it was working and after my fresh install it didn't work anymore.Quote:

I never use anything off the CD's, so I didn't even think of testing any of it.
Glad it was an easy fix, and that they were able to narrow it down quickly for us!

I doubt it's the board. YOu stated above that you have only tried up to 1.45v. You do realise not every chip can get 5Ghz with such low voltage?Quote:

from memory the difference is minimal. but if your already heavily invested in graphics then you might as well get a board supporting 2x16Quote:

What's the diagnosis doctor?
I'm leaning towards the board.
dont use the CD, just download it from the website, it is listed there too of course
guys basically with retail steppings testing a LOT of them will only work at 45x or 46x multi without needing to use PLL overvoltage inbios which will then boost it to 50x, chips become a lot more scarce that can actually boot at say 49 or 50 without it and if they do, these chips will be able to probably bench at 5.4 or more with the right cooling
also with SB from what is being done so far basically seems a familiar pattern > MHz wall, and a lot of guys will drive themselves crazy thinking they can go past it, i am yet to see people really have any real impact on the MHz wall once they figure it out properly

Understood Dino, but I don't know how there can possibly be that much difference between my chip and another chip on the same batch.Quote:

They are all my overclock settings.
It gets to Windows boot screen and locks up. No BSOD, just hard lock.
I have so far tried the following bioses: F3, F6x, F6e, F7a, F7d, F7e.
enable turbo, set TDP to 300 and TDC to 300, increase vcore see if that helps. When enabling turbo make sure to set each turbo multi to what you want. try increasing qpi/vtt to 1.1
Very nice. But I hope you don't run your gtx 570s at 80% fan speed 24/7! you'll become deaf!Quote:

Try the following:
1.4v LLC2
or 1.45v LLC1.
*edit*
guess you alreay tried higher voltages..didnt see the above post.
That means your chip simply hit a brick wall...
Some fantastic scores here guys. Unfortunately i don't have SLI so i can't compete with you speed demons :). This board is a great overclocker, i don't really think we can deny that.
Here is my 3DMark 11 result with a single 580 and 2600K @ 5.4Ghz.

I am on 7a bios and using LLC level 2, volts is set at 1.385 , cpuz reads 1.416 volts, PLL is set to enable , and turbo is off.
With PPL is there a value to add or is it just a case of setting it to enable?
Is there anything else i need to set to get 4.6 and onwards.
btw prime stable at 4.5 Gigs temps maxing at 66 degrees.
edit: after a bit of help from 1Day i managed to boot into windows at 5.0 Ghz but corrupted my Steam files :(
anything i can do to prevent this happening , corruption to files that is?
Hope,next beta BIOS for UD7 will implement as latest Maximus IV Extreme BIOS 0950/0951:
0950
- Fixed Memory ratio sometimes not changing bug
- Fixed XMP + OC Load profile bug
- Adds Memory Bandwidth Turbo for performance improvement
- Fixed Wrong Target CPU Speed shown after Clear CMOS
0951
1. Enhance support for high performance DRAM
2. Improve XMP module compatibility
3. Adds new option Memory Bandwidth Booster for better DRAM performance
4. Fix BIOS may show incorrect Target CPU Speed shown after Clear CMOS"
sin, that and implenting a EFI bios :up:
Was wondering if anyone knows how well these P67 boards overclock with all four banks filled with ram as opposed to just 2 banks in a 2x2gb vs 4x2gb configuration?
thanks.
seem to overclock pretty much the same as using 2x2gb, seeming as the IMC and overclocking is individual not linked like the x58 platform.. I've seen 16gb clock almost as high as 2x2gb just looser timings .. Awesome thin about Sandybridge is it still offers unreal performance with loose timings, it loves the higher MHZ ;)Quote:

Never took chip over 1.45V and it NEVER even saw 70C (got to 68c once)
so disapointing :(

6-8-6- stuff and same. I am going to reload F7E as it at least seems to reboot less times to get going again.

OMG !!! I might have to exchange my motherboard soon if BIOS changes like that are not implemented by Gigabyte !!! Im so murder serious...
These are exactly what i need right now for my UD5 !!!
@Nostromo, just leave your memory to AUTO until proper bios is released.
Well, the reboot issue I spoke of earlier, was more like a shutdown-restart.Quote:

My poor power supply, and video card. Been using a SSD in stead of HD because of all the restarts. When looking for a template to fill my info, I found someone elses and used most of the settings, with a few changes.
this is where I am at now. been priming in blend for about an hour highest core 62C (apogee XT).
This is with my corsair dominator GT's 2000C7
EDIT:Bah, stopped prime, and ran 3dmark11 bench only. second pass Blue screen..

@ Nostromo try 50 multi just for now with VTT @ 1.2 with 100blck, just wanna trouble shoot few things, Tell me if it boots up..
Leaving the rest of my template as above, and changing multi to 50, and vtt 1.2Quote:

Nice template :D
One thing I have noticed with my 2600K is the IMC is a lot weaker than my 2500K. My 2600K would not do over 5.1GHz 8.9.8 / 8.10.8 it needs to be 9.10.9 to pass Linx where as my 2500K can bench 6.9.6 no problem & 7.9.7 is LinX stable with enough voltage..... maybe try 8.10.8 with everything else in mem auto & std performance enhance.
15 mins short test 1 hour long Prime 25.11 custom 4096-4096 with as much ram as you can spare is a decent test to check ram timings/voltages etc. I also find my 2600K likes up to 1.18 qpi/vtt depending on how high & tight you go with the RAM. My 2500K likes only 0.88 qpi/vtt to do 2133 8.9.8 @ 5GHz!!!

C-N Thanks for template, and the code info.
tried 8-10-8 3dmark11 failed after about 5 runs.
all other mem timings on auto, and it set my mem at 1333
I am going to switch out to 8 gigs of vengeance.
Oh reallyQuote:

I'll post back.
Dinos you have only 1 HDD hooked up. I wonder if it might tbe SATA 3 issue. I got 3 HDDS, 1 CD-ROM + 1 intel SSD as a OS drive on the SATA 3 port + PCI card and it has problems at POST when overclocked.
I would guess this fix could help some, from Asus bios thread.
2. If you are receiving random BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) under Windows 7 OS without any warning at stock or what appears to be stable OC settings, please download the following patch from Microsoft to have the problem fixed (98% fix rate): This hotfix will be in SP1.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979444
Dinos I've used both pci 16x slot one at 8x & both at 16x.
It still gives me a real hard time booting with sli setup, 1 gtx580 noproblem at all.
There is a difference running both at 16x, look at the scores.
Ok after testing a few BIOS i have to say F6X is the most stable, but F7E requires less Vcore for the same overclocks.
For example:
My 24/7 overclock of 4.5Ghz requires 1.285v in F6x while only requireing 1.275 in F7e, it's not much, but still noteworthy.
^^^On same note I will like to ask is there any difference in overclocking between F7e and F7a/b, F6x because on hwbot, I see most of the people managing above 5.35Ghz on the before mentioned older bios's. I jumped straight from F4x to F7e, hence asking. And though as Dinos mentioned I guess I have hit the Mhz wall but still praying somehow, something will make it run faster, :p
But the temps... 10ºC more!Quote:

ByE!
i have no problems with SLI GTX 570 on the UD7.
thats a UD5 mate, it is running 8x + 8x :up:Quote:
