Yes, three sticks of Dominator (or other tall'ish RAM) is the limit. Regular (short) RAM doesn't have this problem. Doesn't matter, the giga board is getting yanked out and RMA'ed (for good) tomorrow morning.Quote:

I enjoy overclocking this board on the table because of the lights and power/reset/clear-cmos buttons. I also enjoyed how the F5c BIOS version was retained after my main BIOS chip was corrupted from an undervolt boot crash loop and the dual-BIOS feature restored from backup. I dialed in the same settings I was using with those small changes and have been stable ever since. I did some gaming and 3dmark2006 with 4870 crossfire. The next thing I need to do is test the 19x multi and see if I can get even lower volts. Then, finally I will test with one fan (still using the other a bit) and all 3 ram sticks.
@ STASIO, since you work for Gigabyte and seem to be getting all the bios files, see if you can get us a change log with it, thanks. :yepp:
Does anyone still have a copy of the extreme F5a bios? I just flashed to F5b and now my PC won't boot off my HDD :-/
Going back to the official F4 works fine.
As said above, a change log would be nice.
Sorry guys,but I receive only BIOS without changelog(even for my mobo UD3P).:yepp:
Once I know,of course I will post here.
Btw,
EX58-Extreme BetaBIOS F5c released.
Edit:
Thx to kimi
f4c??? f5c!! heheheh :up:Quote:

The rampage 2 for istance with memories to 1600 7-6-6 in everest registers 21000 read,20000 write,23000 copy.
Gigabyte ex 58 extreme with memories to 1600 7-6-6 in everest registers 19000 read,17000 write,20500 copy
Test diabolo 2000 d9gtr with ram.
asus has a parameter configuration cpu that if you set up it the ram takes a big boost. c-state? possible?
Gigabyte no?
You might remember a previous post when i had problems getting above bclk 172.Well i have a new i7 920 which booted straight away @180!Anyway i have another strange problem.In the bios all 3 channels are showing for the memory but only 4096 is displayed at post:mad: ,when i booted into Vista x64the o/s is only showing 4gig.If i look at cpuz it is showing 6gig and triple channel.:shrug:Anyone else had this problem?
If have done the following.
Reflashed and cleared cmos
Reloaded bios defaults.
All settings @ stock (when i first installed the cpu i used dram v1.66 and no more than 1.275 on qpi/vtt to test bclk 180)
Default volts:
cpu 1.2
dram 1.54
qpi/vtt 1.175
Re-seated the memory
swapped the sticks around
tested each stick in ddr3_1 slot -each test displayed 2gig
tested dual channel in dd3 3_1 and ddr3 3_3 -displayed 4gig
with all three channels only 4gig is displayed on post.
The memory appears to be ok.
Joining the ranks here, first boot seems nice, very fast platform this Nehalem ! slowly burning in the CPU

For the moment I left all voltage options on AUTO besides the Vcore and the ram voltage ( 1.7v )... QPI is read out 1.4 by ET6. Isn't that a bit too high ?
EDIT : Tried manully to go as low as possible on the PQI voltage. I need 1.24 to get into windows and to remain stable... any lower than 1.22 and Windows reboots when entering the desktop, dropped down Vcore again a notch. I let her fold for a few days before pushing harder...
any thoughts on how to get this ram working?

Ordered 3 sticks and non of them post, tryed each by themselves.
Everything starts to run fans spin up etc then stops like on bad OC settings,
then it trys again and fails in a non stop loop of failure
According to this it should work
http://www.intel.com/technology/memo...CC_results.htm
Its looks like i have found the problem.One of the pins at the bottom of the socket 1366 was slightly bent:eek: .Not sure how i carefully put the cpu in and it only goes one way!After bending it back in postion (not easy used a small needle pinhead) its posts with 6gig.
So has any of you guys tested the new F5C bios for the Extreme?
Old sticks in, boot, change setting to reflect new sticks, save and exit and power off immediately, change sticks, boot, if it doesn't work try two sticks, then one.Quote:

How about if you look at the sub timings before complaining about "performance sucks". :rolleyes:Quote:
