ram is corsair dominator gt 1600 3x2gb 7-7-7-20
im doing a run now on stock to see if i have 0 errors, then i can rule out hardware fail which is unlikey but better to know.
when i tested with 4.6 is gave me more errors than at 4.2, why is that?
what do i need to tweak to stabilze ram when reaching for higher clocks?
You have to pass memtest without any error, otherwise you can get random BSOD anytime.
Use Vdimm=1.65v and VVT=1.32v or 1.34v and run memtest, if it doesn't help use loose timing until you pass the memtest.
I dont think the vcore will hurt the chip at all, but 100c would make me nervous.Quote:

Yes, you can. Worked fine with a Seagate 7200.12 1GB drive.Quote:

Awesome, I did a little research on the UD5 and it looks like they updated their manual to show that you need to make a driver floppy/flash drive to install the Marvell drivers for the OS installation.Quote:

Thanks for you replies guys!
I installed w7 on Vertex connected to SATA-port#1 (which is SATA2), and then installed the Marvell drivers from the CD/download.
Later, I moved the drive to SATA-port#7 (which is SATA3), and then W7 installed the driver for the port, and asked for a reboot. It worked just fine without the need for updating any file from floppy or USB.
well $50 not only for NB cooler, you knowQuote:

I think Intel actually mentioned 65C as max temp for their i7 CPUs, but this is obviously a bit hard to achieve. ~75C sounds about right.Quote:

Interesting. Never heard that people's 4.6g+ overclocks get unstable above 70C. Thanks for the info.
Do you think doing a 6 hour long test on Linx at 90C is dangerous? I've pretty much done it already... I never get anywhere near close to that in my daily use, never above 85C in daily use.
On my q9650 I could pass 4500mhz at 1.392vcore, as long as cpu temp stayed around 70c or below, if the temps got much higher it would fail blend with the same voltages.Quote:
Originally Posted by LarsMarkelson
I would NOT run any 6hr stability test at 90c. If your temps are to high for blend or LinX, use other tests to get an idea of some stability such as hyper pi, and maybe run some Crysis benches.
I don't mind running long Prime at low vCore and low temp. I often use it to get a burn inn effect that can have a good effect on CPU too. But why push the system when it is running on the edge of the cooling ability? Specially LinX which is really brutal on CPU.
Nah, it's fine. Just don't do that every day for weeks. :p:Quote:

hey thanks for that, ive got the ram at 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 2t and it passed memtest (1pass) 100%.
u reckon i should leave it longer or does the test just repeat itself?
also with intel burn test it was stable with a 5 run but not with 10, with what i want the comp for should i worry bout this?
theres no way ill ever hit 100% load- maybe a lil over 50% for a couple hours at one given time but that would be max
Excellent result & CPU you have there Sam.Quote:

Is this correct ? I see 7ºC difference between first and last core.
Is it possible to put this memory to 2000Mhz with this motheboard ?
Thank you very much and sorry by my bad English
The temperature variations are normal but I've not seen that wide of a variation with either my 920 or w3520. Are you sure your TIM was distributed evenly and that the HSF assembly was correctly installed?
If your memory was rated to run at 2000MHz then I cannot see why it wouldn't run it on this motherboard.
yes, it is possible :)Quote:

Amazing, just updated from x58 extreme/i7 965 to ud7/3520 - took less than two hours and this with water cooling.
I was even able to use the same w7 install - didn't even have to re-install windows!
All is well so far - impressive -

Well it appears that I'm stuck at 4.5 for now, I've been working on 4.6 for over a week now and have had to reinstall Win 7, 3 times already. :mad:
I may end up throwing a smaller single drive in with XP just until I can get her stable.
Win7 x64 is harder to get stable in than XP 32-bit, though, so if you get stable in XP it doesn't mean you'll be stable in Win7...Quote:

you need a QPI of 1.50-1.56v for 2000MHz.Quote:

Is this actually a full secondary BIOS, or just one that privides generic reflashing fuctionality for the main BIOS?
I am just seeing a problem here if the secondary cannot be updated. If it were a F2 BIOS, and the main BIOS a F4, and you are running a hexcore...your flashing goes wrong sometime and the board falls back to the secondary F2.
I guess you see the problem too?
Enlighten me, buddies. :p:
My UD7 is constantly showing C1 error on the display ... Can u guys tell me what this error means? RMA time for the motherboard? or should I be trying something else like borrowing some rams from a friend and try that?
Need a quick reply ... 10x
After Main BIOS update successfully, system will reboot and during POST, press Alt + F12 key to update Backup BIOS .Quote:

Try setting your IOH core to 1.32V and your QPI/VTT to 1.555V or leave them on AUTO.Quote:

This doesn't happen with F2 bios, if I choose 1.640v, it gives steady 1.632v. Maybe someone who use 1.640v vdimm in bios can confirm this by checking the value with PC Health Status in bios.Quote:

We reached 225 with an UD3R, relatively easy... now let's see how will the UD7 do.
In march, we're going@ln2... someone already tested that mobo under extreme cooling? :)
Ok, now try 7-8-7-20-1t.Quote:

It's strange... no way to reach 225bclk with the UD7 (bios F4)... there's still work to do, but we were expecting to reach at least what we did with the UD3R, not to fight to obtain a slightly lower result...
In the final runs, we closed a pi1M@4,66ghz on air, but talking about max bclk, we're not so happy... let's see if in the next sessions (before to throw everything under ln2) we'll get something better. ;)
Ok, cool. Baby steps will get you there eventually. :)Quote:

207/209 seems way too low... have you already tried even the older bioses?
Those were the settings we used yesterday evening to reach 220 bclk stable @1M.
Where there's nothing written, that's because we leaved it on auto. ;)

Luuuv this Motherboard, best one I ever bought for sure, welcome me to the UD7 club :D
I am having problems overclocking my memories and finding a suitable config, I have done the CPU part and reached a stable 3.9Ghz level
Running 3x 2GB modules Corsair XMS3 CL 7-7-7-20-1 1600 MHz, anyone know how far these memories can be pushed? 1860 MHZ? My screen goes black as soon as I try to clock 'em, tried various BIOS setting but cant find a good combo. Anyone have a template for memory setup?
Also anyone know whats up with my easy tune 6? dosnt seem to synch with BIOS and keep tending to load its own seperate config upon reboot.

(Sorry by my bad English)
You should avoid connecting the Intel X25-M to SATA3. My Vertex was not performing at peak there. I guess you need a SSD with a SATA3-controller to take advantage of that 6Gb/s. I suggest you connect the Intel X25-M to SATA2-port#1 on ICH10R. You can connect the WD on SATA2-port#2 on ICH10R too, and the burner on Gigabyte SATA2.Quote:

I'm not touching these new CPUs until a few more guinea pigs test them out first. :P
^ Very good idea.:yepp:
The new chip is getting worse by the minute. Takes more vcore than my 920 for 4400mhz. Guess I have learned a lesson.
Is there any risk of damaging the board running high block 24/7 as long as voltage are reasonable? It runs like a champ so far at 230x17.
With ambient cooling? Nope, don't think so, unless something is overheating.Quote:

I have pretty good cooling I think, also have good fans blowing on the board.Quote:

newhit: 4.3ghz with an H50 isnt bad at all. The older 920's did much better but are very hard to find now.
can anyone tell me the difference between the Gigabyte ga-ex58a-ud7 and ga-x58a-ud7
I can find both for sale, but i cant find any info on ga-ex58a-ud7 on the gigabyte website
ex58a is likely a typo since there's only one UD7 mobo
my retail had my UD5 listed as EX58A-UD5 as well
You should definitely try to take an advantage of a higher multi.Quote:

Hello, witch memory is best buy to work with this motherboard?
For the moment isn't GSKILL 3x2Gb Trident 2000Mhz, because I can't do 1600 with 7 7 7 20 timmings and perhaps new bios will solve this soonQuote:
