High load is something that uses all 8 threads at high stress. Bad company 2 or black ops isn't high load; more like medium. Even with HT off it won't load all the cores to maximum...

High load is something that uses all 8 threads at high stress. Bad company 2 or black ops isn't high load; more like medium. Even with HT off it won't load all the cores to maximum...
My basis for high load test is Prime95 Blend/SmallFTT I can get either 101 or 124 depending on what clockspeed I am at, like right now im trying to find the lowest voltage possible on my 2600K @ 4.5Ghz I went with -0.050v offset ang I got a BSOD 124 in blend about 10mins after. with that offset im getting 1.296~1.308 vCore.
Would upping the VccSA from default of 0.920 to 0.935 help or this is something for 5Ghz+ domain already ?
I also have my VTT at 1.120v which I believe is quite excessive at 4.5Ghz ( just upping this for testing )
Im looking for a way to have power saving enabled by limit the max voltage to 1.380v loaded and not idle under 1.000v, is this kind of combination possible? ( I dont want it to idle at 1.380v also )
EDIT:
I believe that my 2600K needs something like 1.350~1.380v to be stable at 4.5Ghz which is quite depressing / unlucky as it feels extremely higher than most.
I learn something new about this board every night that I play with it. I thought I had hit a wall with my 2500k around 4.8Ghz, but it seems she has more life in her yet.
My problem was setting the vcore manually...I was getting a pretty bad vdroop. At 4.8GHz I need 1.38v to remain stable, but setting manually to 1.38v resulted in loaded voltages of 1.36-1.35v and instant crashes in LinX. This required me to run a manual vcore of 1.42v or more. If I leave the vcore at normal and use the DVID offset, I get a rock solid vcore and better stability. Right now I'm using a normal vcore and an offset of +0.020v to get 1.38v at idle and 1.39v under heavy LinX load. I don't mind the slight overvolt at heavy load because my day to day tasks never load it that hard and even so, my highest temp was 61C after 20 runs of LinX. I'm now able to 5.0GHz stable with +0.035 offset, but my temps creep up to 65C and I'm not gaining anything in 24/7 performance.
How many people use just a manual vcore vs. the DVID offset? What are your results?
I use offset because i want the voltages to drop when theres no load on the CPU, I believe it can extend the life of the processor.
Pretty nice setup there with 4.8 I would need +0.115 that results in 1.452v loaded.. Pretty awful chip!
EDIT:
Is it possible to make some software hack for the UD4 so that the phase leds always light up in full even if the system is idle? I dont wanna install the added power saving software junk.. I just want the LED :D
EDI2:
DVID is strange on this board, I was using DVID with a -0.010v offset to give me 1.334v loaded and I crashed BSOD124 while playing SC2 and now when I booted back its not 1.334 but 1.260 lol.. after clearning the cmos the same offset now gives me 1.334v back.. either this is a bug or SVID is not working correctly.

Too bad that I'm so damn CPU limited, did 118325 marks with air cooling at 1050-1150 MHz...
Anyone have any idea how I could fix boot loop at clocks higher than 4.4 GHz? I've got GA-P67A-UD3P, which is essentially the same as UD4 apart from couple features. I've tried every bios out there.
Enable Internal PLL Overvoltage?
Enable PLL Overvoltage only works with reboots. Normal boots still fail.
My other UD4-B3 with F3 bios just gave me a bios checksum error after a proper shutdown and started to recover back from the backup bios.. I've never experienced this on my UD4-B3 thats been used for overclocking... that other board is just all stock... anyone know whats up about this ?
Could be anything. Were you using pll overvoltage before you shut down?
All stock settings, bios optimized defaults and XMP profile for the 8GB corsair 1866Mhz
Hi guy's,
Just started overclocking a 2600K on a Z68x-UD4, and the 1st BSOD I got was a 0x0000007E error.
Running F7D bios
Are there any BSOD code's around for these chip's ??
I bumped up the vcore a little, seems to be OK now.
Currently it's set @ 44 x 99.8, with 1.38 vCore using DVID.
Doesn't seem to like 100 BCLK.
Would like to go higher, but the Sandy is new to me.
Are there any BIOS templates around for a UD4, either P67 or Z68 ??
CPUz doesn't show accurate voltages, using AIDA64.
Cheers
101 = Vcore
124 = could be Vcore/VTT
Those are the most common bsod's you see with SB.
For CPU-Z use version 1.57.1 to get 100Mhz baseclock try to set the baseclock in bios at 100.2Mhz
Burt, I have the same mb and chip only difference perhaps the mem.
my ud4 is running at 4400mhz all settings in bios on auto.
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...ypenko/ud4.png
Polypenko,
Nice to know there's someone this almost the same setup.
Currently running 45 x 99.8, with 1.38 vcore still showing in AIDA64.
Tried Auto, but didn't seem to like it :(
Have you stress tested yours ??
Bios vcore is 1.345 (I think), LLC Level 2, but using DVID +.075v.
Corsair Vengeance 8Gb 1600 C8
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Interesting to have one of these, to compare with 980x...doesn't seem to be too far behind.
at 4500mhz and all Bios setting on AUTO, not stable assume
I need to increase the cpu voltage to a higher setting?
it is strange that my ud4 runs 4400mhz at 1.308v and you need
1.38 volts.
"Currently it's set @ 44 x 99.8, with 1.38 vCore"
I'm also using W7 - 64 bits, have not yet done any stress
testing.
I'm not a die hard overclocker, for the time being Happy :)
with 4400mhz stable.
I'm no expert, but 1.38v for only 4.4-4.5Ghz is quite a lot of voltage for that range. Most 2500k and 2600k chips see 4.5Ghz at 1.3v or less. What are your other voltage settings?
Hehe...my heavily degraded 2600k needs over 1.34v at 4.5 ghz now. Used to be stable at 1.284v. Oh well it still runs 5 ghz 1.51v with offsets and C1E.
Other 2600k still rocking at 4.5 ghz 1.260v but I swapped it with the first chip for now.
Hey Frostbite,Quote:

Probably most of the posts here is 1.300v or less. Mine requies 1.350v I think. Im just feeding it 1.360v to be over with and use DVID so it drops.Quote:

From memory, 7e is a hard drive.... or was it driver error???. try to get the other parameters too (those listed after x007E)
Did you get the latest cpu-z? http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Can anyone explain the mechanics of this ON/OFF charge feature.. I already have my front panel USB connector connected oh the ON/OFF charge port.. So is this working only on apple devices? Do I need to install drivers?
You should add increasing cpu pll voltage can also help with 124's.
Fixed.
On/Off charge
"There's no denying that the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch have been a huge success and many of you may own one. However, both devices suffer from one small problem, they don't charge very fast when connected to your PC. Wouldn't it be great if your iPhone charged just as quickly from your computer as it does from the charger?
GIGABYTE's latest motherboards are equipped with ON/OFF Charge technology which allows you not only to charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but it allows you to Quick Charge it. As an added bonus, it can even be charged when your PC is turned off, so even if you forget to plug it into your charger after you've synced up your music, it will be fully charged when you need it."
My experience with upping the PLL to 1.88v WITH c3/c6 is that it only prolongs the time b4 it 124's. Altho the C3/C6 is a different problem of its own.Quote:

I found the best use for it by upping PLL to prevent 0x124's when you are at light load (when not using offsets) when using high LLC that raises the vcore slightly from idle to light load to heavy load (when using fixed vcore). So, random 0x124 at light load when ur fully stable at heavy load when vcore is 12mv (0.012v) higher than light load? Upp the PLL and profit!
Some people have been able to lower vcore by lowering the PLL but I haven't been able to benefit from that on either CPU.
Hi guys
Since this is a GA-P67A-UD4 Discussion Thread, although you speak about overclocking, i find it appropriate to ask it here
I have a rather weird problem with my ud4.The mobo works just fine but when i use a display port cable to connect the screen with the vga is when the problem pops out.
When i power on the pc after a few secs the gigabyte logo appears and then the computer shuts down and then all by itself turns on again and the same thing happens all over again entering on a loop of continuous turn ons-turn offs.
It is only when i plug out the display port cable that my computer boots normal.Eventually when i hear the windows sound i plug again the dp and all works just fine.
When i use a dvi cable that is not happening.
I have noticed that when the computer is shut down the mobo lights (up and right) are on and when i plug out the dp cable the lights turn off. Its like the cable supplys electricity to the mobo.
The whole thing is a bit annoying because i have to do that all the time and i want to use the dp cable.
Is it possible this is a bios thing??
I have the latest official F4
Progress (or not) report on 2600K on Z68x-UD4 overclocking.
Well, it seems that maybe 4600 is my limit, :down: 4700 & 4800 don't even want to POST.
Running 1.36 (1.35) vcore (which is setup by default according to frequency.
LLC Level 6 - 8
no turbo
almost everything else in auto
Disabled most energy settings for CPU.
Not sure what I should risk to get a little higher (I'd like a good stable 4800)
What are the safe maximum volts for vCore, QPI, System Agent, etc ?? :shrug:
did you enable pll overvoltage?
Pretty sure it is :DQuote:

Seems like you can't set the vcore to some high level, so it will post, then change it from there. :shrug:
Currently running 46x, no turbo, LLC Level 7, 1.36 vcore, etc.
Well 4.5Ghz is good for 24/7 anyway not much of a loss TBH.
I really like this board, but it's giving me fits with my GSkill CL6 DDR 1600 kit. Anything over 1600 requires me to manually set every memory timings, basic and advanced. I've figured out really good settings for 1866 @ 1.5v, but can't seem to figure out the correct advanced timings for 2133. 5.0GHz @ 1.38v loaded with RAM @ 1866 7-9-7-24 1T 1.5v is screaming, but I'd love to get 2133 running so I could run tests to see the difference the extra RAM speed is giving me.
Demo
I know you are running the same GSkill kit as me, could you please screenshot or list all of your options under the memory tab for 2133? I'm 85% there and could really use someone's settings as a guide. The suggestions I've gotten so far were all from a P8P67 board and it didn't require settings all the timings I need.
Thanks for any help
Seems like a BIOS bug to me. The fact that you can't go above X47 shows that PLL overvoltage is NOT working. (it doesn't work on D1 stepping chips at all).Quote:

You may want to consider RMA'ing that board and get a B3, because that wall you hit is clearly a firm BIOS bug.
I loaded up the XMP profile and just manually adjusted the timings to 9-10-9 since its the only timings that runs at 1.500v or 1.5400 for some as I've heard.Quote:

Thanks
any new bios?
F5b is out, but it doesn't offer any improvement. I went back to F4 final and it's been working great since starting to figure out this board.
I am using a D2 stepping chip, and it's GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, and I flashed it with the F7D bios that stasio post's...am I using the wrong bios ???Quote:

I think I will try the F7A, and see what happens.
Your opinion ???
Oh...you're using a Z series board, not a P board....that explains that.
Well anyway, what is the MAXIMUM multiplier you can do with PLL overvoltage DISABLED? x46, right?
You can't do x47, regardless of enabling or disabling it?
If that's correct, then the BIOS isn't working correctly.
BTW There's no such thing as a CPU that needs PLL overvoltage enabled for x42 (as that's the only way you would have a wall at x41 with it disabled).

So those beta bioses are bugged, then ? (PLL Overvoltage doesn't work?)
How do we get turbo mo to get past 3.5Ghz on this board. I have it enabled and the following at x38/x37/x36/x35 and when I run a single 1M/32M Pi it still goes upto 3.5Ghz only.

BUT, say, the next day when I turn it back on, it can take many times to post & boot into windows, meaning, it will just start proceeding's, then shutdown momentarily, and try again, and again, but if I clock it "down" to say 4600, it's fine.
I guess this means it needs a bit more vcore or vtt.....what is safe ???
Any suggestions more than welcome. :shrug:

id be backing off to 4.6 man and using less volts, doubt you will see any difference in those 200Mhz
Give it 1.360v at 4.5Ghz and call it a day.
on this far, anyone know ?

None, its part of Intel spec.. if you want to minimize vdrops use LLC.Quote:

F5D acts a little wierd for me. It takes one voltage increase to run 4.8GHz (Normal + 0.015 -> 0.020) but 4.7GHz runs 100% stable on one less voltage bump (Normal -> Normal - 0.010). I've been playing with PLL and QPI voltages again, but nothing seems to make a difference. PLL as low as 1.54v and up to 1.74v, QPI from stock to 1.12v. Maybe F5E can help regulate some of the voltages and get me a better overclock? I'm running on water and would love to see 5GHz :)
