Will check later.

just flashed the board then and the only big difference i noted was the load line calibration.. its not called multi step load line calibration and has quite a few different levels.. will have a muck around and see whats what but bios feels smoother too
not sure i normally have it turned off anyways.. but the 10 different levels of load line calibration i like.. found level 6 too be a good medium... deffo loving this f3 official bios atm
I suggested a change on llc to my contact over at Gigabyte two weeks ago. I'm glad that they implemented more levels this fast. :up:
Too bad that there (obviously) are issues with this implementation...
EDIT: stasio, did you get the correct reading in cpu-z with other bios-versions?
When suggesting a change on llc I also noted that cpu-z-readings on vcore on b3-boards aren't correct anymore. I also noted that this should be fixed with the next version of cpu-z - not sure if Gigabyte did something here...
With F3c when I set 1.435 volts llc1 cpu-z reads 1.044 volts....
Anyone know if this multi step LLC was implemented for UD5?
UD7 has LLC -10 levels!!
UD5 same as UD7 (B2 and B3 version).
Edit:
Vcore set in BIOS 1.4800.
Idle Vcore (in BIOS):
LLc1.....1.4520
LLc2.....1.4640 (1.4760 in W7-1.4280 Load)
LLc3.....1.4880 (1.4880 in W7-1.4520 Load)
LLc4.....1.5000
LLc5.....1.5120
LLc6.....1.5360
LLc7.....1.5600
LLc8.....1.5840
LLc8.....1.5960
LLc10....1.6200
Hey Guys finally got my new GSKILL F3-17000CL7D-4GBXHD 6 hour Prime 26.5 stable , vcore held solid at 1.432 , I still have cmd2 set for now as i still need to lower my vtt from1.151 . . . I didn't think i would end up using 2133mhz for my 24 / 7 but board isn't stressing as much as i thought it would
Prime Pass 4.8 2133mhz 7.9.7.21 cmd 2

Interesting. Only someone trying to blow up their chips would use LLC10.
Seems like UD5 has slightly lower voltage in BIOS than your UD7.
On UD5, I just had 1 test
100.03x50:
1.445v set in BIOS:
LLC5: 1.440v idle vcore in BIOS (yours was 0.03v higher, stasio).
WinXP: idle 1.440v or 1.428v (I forgot).
Load: 1.404v-1.392v. (Prime blend)
Did about 45 minutes of prime blend without a crash and stopped.
Had to redo all my profiles since I cleared cmos:
4.5 ghz LLC5: 1.265v BIOS HT on
4.5 ghz LLC5: 1.250v BIOS HT off
5.0 ghz LLC5: 1.445v BIOS HT on
5.0 ghz LLC5: 1.430v BIOS HT off
Satisfied for now.
The vcore going into the chip at LLC5 seems to be about the same or maybe a tiny notch higher than on the last f3 beta. Temps seemed to be spot on. Then again it was 3 am. Didn't BSOD at the 5 ghz test. I did BSOD on the last beta with 1.445v LLC1, so I had to set it to 1.450v there. But since it is night time, who knows...
4.5 ghz will be my highest 24/7 settings (at 4 ghz for now) and the 5 ghz profiles will be my highest game settings.
Still boots at x49 with PLL override disabled, x50 enabled.
Had one bug where XP froze on shutdown...hasn't done that since I had a B2 board...
Are your Vdimm a notch higher (1.5240 in default),then in latest beta?
My vdimm went from 1.500 to 1.536v.
I think in UD4 LLC :"Auto-Disabled-Enabled".
Only UD7 and UD5 has "Multi-Steps Load Line"

here were my findings for the new levels of LLC, except when I tried it out for them I had the normal 3 levels as well. Level6 is the BEST hands down. It does overvolt though.
I will check to see if this is the SAME LLC i am guessing it is 100% of the way.

Thanks Sin,I am on level 4 now and uping.....
So far best BIOS for me. :up:
Some people over hardwareluxx.de forum talking nonsence! :rofl::ROTF:
Sin, ok you really did it this time.
I don't understand the chart :(
You have standard, level 1 and level 2, with ten levels in each one...how? :shocked:
Your BIOS has standard, level 1 and level 2, and with 10 levels in each one?
I think you need to clear CMOS with power unplugged, then?
Mine only has "Disable", and "llc1-llc10".
llc4 seems to be the same as the old "level 1", so I used LLC5.
Tested F3 on my voltage loving 2600K at 5.0GHz
LLC10, Bios: 1.55, idle 1.65v, load 1.57v BSOD 124
Lower Levels are worse, cant boot into win.
Which level is equal to F3H Level2?
