The three temps in HW Monitor all go down together when I add a spot fan to the NB since they are connected with the stock motherboard cooling.

Thanks for the reply. I'll flash tonight. So, the watercooling sounds about right, then? I guess I'll only see the difference when I try pushing it. I haven't really put an OS on as yet as I had a few problems with it last night. I'm planning to put an OS on it tonight and start playing, so, I'll let you know.
Cheers,

By the way, what's the setting to turn the throttling off called on the UD5? Is it CPU Thermal Monitor?

hi
i moniter northbridge, mem & water temps with a thermal sensors connected to my bigT balancer
Helo
I do not know what to choose: help:)
Mushkin PC3-12800 3gb or 6gb
SuperTalent WA160UX3G9 3GB PC12700 DDR3
CORSAIR TR3X3G1600C8D PC12700 DDR3
Patriot Viper Extreme 3072MB 1600hz cl8 KIT
OCZ Gold Edition 6144MB 1600Mhz cl8 KIT
What would be best for the plate?
What do you suggest?
Which are best for overclocking?
thanks:yepp:
Nice! So you just removed that top waterblock piece from the NB or are you saying you don't have anything at all sitting on the NB?
What about the voltage regulators on this board? I know that's a real hot spot on the DFI X58 board that people have been worrying about to get temps down.
I think he means just the WB top, you'd have to take off the whole assembly to take off the actual block.
Is anyone running SLI on this board? I can't seem to enable SLI on my GTX 295's, not sure if it's a driver problem or board needs a bios update.
Will someone please post the safest BIOS settings that can boot a Gigabyte UD5 with i7-920 to 210 BCLK? I have tried x36 QPI, x12 Uncore, x6 memory, 1.4v QPI, 1.4v Core, 1.66v DRAM and still no joy even at 18x210. At 19x200 non turbo my chip needs 1.152v load (1.1875v Core and 1.2750v QPI in bios) to be stable with HT off and 1.1874v load (1.21875v bios), still with 1.2750v QPI, for HT stability.
I just received mine last night, got it all put together, loaded windows, got all the drivers installed and went about working on some of the other stuff I had just got in and after about 2 hours it did this same thing. It went into a reboot loop that I can't get it out of save for holding the power button down or shutting down the power supply. The only problem is, I can't get mine out of it. I've pulled the battery, reset the CMOS....unhooked everything, removed the video cards, swapped my ram around, tried booting with single and dual channel... nothing so far has gotten it out of this loop. It goes all the way to 88 on the post codes(which i suppose looks like 8B) Anyone have any idea what this is or did i get a bad board? It never gets to the point where it shows video.
BTW, this is what i have.
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
Core I7 920 with a noctua nh12
3 x 2 gigs of OCZ Gold 8-8-8-24 @1600
3 sapphire 4850 video cards
2 WD 320 gig hard drives in a raid 1
Coolermaster Real Pro Power 1000 watt ps and stacker 830 evolution case.
I assume the power supply is good because it was working yesterday morning on the phenom 9950, M3A79-T, 4 gig of Corsair dominator and 2 sapphire 4850 video cards. I am going to try the 600 watt power supply i have(wifes computer) with just one video card and see if that's it later. The power connections are all good, and have been checked and rechecked. I have been reading the newegg reviews this morning(I'm in Japan) and it seems that at least 3 of the reviews complain of this very problem. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something stupid that I missed that is different with this motherboard. I appreciate the help.
try the 181.20 drivers... you need to have 180 series drivers just to be able to enable two or three card SLI on x58.. but a single GTX295 shouldn't apply to that rule.. regardless, the 181.20s are the new drivers which support the GTX295 so I would think you would have to use those anyways to enable all the features on that card.
still pushing mine, seemed rock solid in every bench so far.
well cant boot to an XP cd with a IDE or SATA dvd-drive Dont know if its this bios or what
