You set your memory multiplier lower and your max BCLK drops?Quote:

It doesn't work like that. Some straps are stronger then others. So even with slower ram speeds you can't reach hiegher blck. So stick with the strap/divider that works the best for you.Quote:

Wow. So now we are maxing out our bandwidth capability of the board??Quote:

i just let it without any overclock, i've tested the ram with memtest 4.0 default and under overclock and it has no problem as long the cpu is on default setting, it must be some sort of incompatibility, i really can't figure this issue out, my psu is a brand new enermax pro82+ 525w , i only have a 9800gt vga so i don't need more than this.Quote:

I have the F8 bios on my UD6 board but makes no difference even using F8, F7 or F6 bioses, running @ defaults. I've checked and double checked the wiring on the motherboard from the case and everything is in its right place. In the end, the only way to turn off the computer is to hold in the power button on the case for 4 secs.
I believe it's some sort of compatibility issue as well, however our memory is clearly listed in the comparability matrix.Quote:

Same as you stated, my PC will reboot during a memtest86 v4 at any bclock over default. It can however run it through multiple loops at default speeds. Fairly pissed off about this because I'm positive if I should RMA the motherboard and ram or just the mobo. meh
i don't know how RMA policy is on youre country but here in Romania i can't RMA my board if on default settings works without a glitch:(. Anyway paying 200$ for a board which won't overclock sucks big time.Quote:

Stupid question here, but can I install my videocard into the PCI-Express X4 slot on my P55A UD3? Physically it's compatible with my X16 size card, but because my videocard is too long, it won't fit in the regular X16 slot since the hard drive cage of the case is in the way. If it does work in the X4 slot, will the X4 limitation severely limit performance? This is going to be temporary until I get a new case!
Yes, installing a video card on a 4x slot will limit its perform up to 20%, as I recall.
I just picked up a P55A UD3 and am waiting on a retention bracket for my TRUE so I haven't been able to try it out. Hopefully tomorrow. Anyways should I have any problems hitting a 200 bclk on an 860 for 24/7? I'm a little concerned with vrms providing enough stable juice and possibly cooling. Should I be?
Thanks in advance
Interesting comment there. I wonder if it's a fact? I have no choice anyways as the hard drive cage is blocking my videocard from being installed in that slot!Quote:

What voltages are best for stable overclocks above 214 BLCK? I can't get my system stable with 215 BLCK testing on IntelBurnTest. 2:10 & 2:8 straps work best for me. I'm using 860 with UD6 board and F8 bios. Any helpfull suggestions much appreciated. :)
I was in the same boat with a couple Thermalright and Noctua coolers with older mounting packages. Finally got them in from various places - limited stock and locations to order from.Quote:

4X PCIe is enough for physics purposes. Not sure there's enough benefit to bother using it when you're running two very capable graphics cards already. Plus, there's other boards that limit its use whether it be SATA ports or what not. That's just a couple feasible reasons why we see vendors omitting that extra slot.Quote:

Some boards see very little Sequential transfer rate improvement over SATA2 depending on the available SATA3 drivers, while others seem to do really well.
After installing the two utilities and one new driver for the P55A-UD6, I managed to get Sequential 256 MB/s read and 184 MB/s write rates. While these are noticeably faster rates than SATA2, it's not the fastest I've recorded. Hope a new tuned driver pops up to get upwards of 300 MB/s. :)
stupid question guys, but how do I enable AHCI in the BIOS? I want to install an Intel 40GB SSD on the integrated SATA port (intel chipset) and not the Marvell chip.
My motherboard is the Gigabyte P55A-UD3.
Thx!
Integrated Peripherals
Intel Controller (Blue Ports)
SATA RAID/AHCI Mode (Intel ICH10R Southbridge) ............. AHCI
SATA Port0-3 Native Mode ................................... Enabled (or Disabled, both will work)
Then install your OS with the Intel AHCI Driver, or update it after install if you want.
Are you sure that's the name and order of the options under Integrated Peripherals? I'm at work right now, but I don't recall seeing the options under those names in the BIOS. Are you doing this from memory?Quote:

Thanks Stasio!
Forgot they changed the names of things.
Extreme Hard Drive XHD ................. Enabled
PCH SATA Controller Mode .............. AHCI
What does the Extreme Hard Drive XHD function do? The other guy had it disable, but you're suggesting that it should be enabled.Quote:

It is just the new label for RAID, some BIOS you enable to enable that controller others only to Enabler RAID. Just set to whichever allows you to enable AHCI below.
Stasio was just showing me and you the actual BIOS names is all
Some new (beta) BIOS:
GA-P55A-UD5 - F9
GA-P55A-UD4P - F9k
GA-P55A-UD3 - F8f
GA-P55M-UD2 - F9c
