Hey guys, remember when the first pictures with GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 hit the internet and everybody was like "wooo, waaaa, hot sexy looking mobo, we want more"? Well, here is more, 40 pics with the hot black GIGABYTE beauty, straight of the LAB501 testbed.
Gigabyte P67A-UD7 Preview - lab501

"Dual boot Bios" So i take it there's no UEFI bios with this gorgeous beast?
Since my UD5, i don't think I'll purchase anything else but Gigabyte, but those 30-40 second boot times waiting for all those SATA/RAID drives to detect..
I think I'll either skip or wait till they implement UEFI.
What is the first label by the CPU lever? Something, SLI, SATA, Crossfire...
This board really pulled an eleven in the looks department, wow.
I think the First label is Dolby Home Theater :)
Love the look of that board, let's hope it's the new design direction from Gigabyte:D
Very nice pictures....thanks lab501 :up:
It's Dolby Digital Home Theater. :)Quote:

Can't comment on that ATM.Quote:

Yup, that's it. I think I have a pic somewhere with the socket open so you can see all the logos.Quote:

Yup, that's true also :(Quote:

Gigabyte's REV 2.0 X58 series all uses DrMOS :)Quote:

So does this board have a NF200 which allows 16x/16x for SLI and Crossfire right?
Nice looking board, though Gigabyte should have made two RAM slots white as well, not all black but I'm glad they finally changed their colour scheme, was getting sick of their blue scheme.
nice board, how abou overclocking at it?:D ,-)
Yes, it does have a NF200 chip and 2 16x slots.
Overclocking soon ;)
i want to know cpu power regulation performance
Same VRM like on the UD9. 24 DrMOS chips. This can easy take 2 Gulftowns, Sandy Bridge is like....what ever...for this VRM :)
It looks easy as pie to insulate with neoprene :D
how is it that the Romanians had a preview of this board first? I mean, of all possible news outlet... heh, gotta love globalization!
It's a shame all these features are wasted on the early SB socket, I doubt many people will end up buying this nice board.
Sexy board ! :D
If this board has EFI it will most likely be my next board. Assuming it doesn't cost like 400$.
P67 = battle of great looking boards. Just looks and feature wise this will give ASUS P8P67 and Sabertooth stiff competition.
Very nice looking indeed :up:
all black looks sooooo boring :/
and gold? gold??? come on... lol
better than pink :rofl:Quote:

Of course, having so much time on our hands in the long winter nights, we have to do something more then breeding and picking up lices from our spouces, so sometimes we play with this magical machines from the civilized world, and we are bedazled by these boxes that show moving images. :yepp:Quote:

Gigabyte really needs to fix their PCI-E 16x slot spacing, because if you want to do SLI or Crossfire you won't have spacing for airflow between the cards.
Sinks looks like Duracell batteries!

Hopefully one of these companies will put something together that has at least 4 SATA3 ports on the same controller.

Hey guys, here's some pics with H67MA-UD2H, a pretty good looking H67 board. Bonus - you can see how Sandy Bell looks in action :D

hope, it was 4.6 GHz + ,-)
P67A-UD4 Preview | lab501 - Bonus: Sandy Bridge in action in Vantage :)
http://lab501.ro/wp-content/uploads/...67A-UD4-18.jpg
High DDR3 clocks Tudor ? We are still eagerly awaiting the press kit :(
High DDR3 possible, yes.
This is likely to be the board for me. Would DDR3-1600 suffice for good clocking on this board or do I need to go to higher speeds?
hummm its not like PCB's and those ref coolers offer outstanding thermodynamics, I'd rather see vertically orientated PCB's (I think raven case does it)Quote:

My fav so far is the H67MA-UD2H :up:
Thank you!
H67MA-UD2H is a very nice board, but I am concerned regarding the price. This will be Gigabyte's top H67 board, so it might not be that cheap. Anyway, strooong little bugger it is :)
im lost
what is the difference between P and H boards?

http://lab501.ro/wp-content/uploads/...67A-UD5-01.jpg
I cant fathom why gigabyte is wasting back ports on firewire. probably the worst port choice they could make short of a parallel printer port. absolutely NOTHING new is using firewire. it is deader than serial.
UD5 looks like a clear price/features winner, again! :up:
Hey guys, hope you had a nice New Year's Eve. I'm back at work so now we can talk a bit more about these boards, with Intel's early embargo lift.
One of the main problem of partener boards was the 4800-4900 MHz wall with D2 CPU's, which most testers got with the old BIOS versions. I also ran into that while testing for my launch article, and I talked with several review-ers that had the same problem. Well, no more problems with the latest X bioses from Gigabyte :D
You can download F6X version for P67A-UD7, the F5X version for P67A-UD5 and the F6X version for P67A-UD4 here. In the same archive you will also find the latest @BIOS version (2.10), needed for updating the BIOS from Windows 7 x64. For the moment, normal update from BIOS does not work.
Anyway, once equipped with the latest BIOS, you want to go to the CPU features section and set "vPLL Override" to Enabled. Now you might go as high as 54x or 55x multi, it seems that this dependes on the CPU itself and some of them are locked at 55x, some at 54x, etc, even if officialy the highest multi is 57x. I didn't do any sub-zero tests with these new bios versions yet, but I do not expect anything to get better at this moment.
My 2600K seems to have a problem with 55x, but he has no problem running at 54X.

Still loving ya 1.140Vcore readout Tudor... Tip : never ever change that CPU-Z version, this chip will sell for 5000 dollars for sure !!
Ahahahaha, it is 1.6v man. I am trying a lot of CPU-Z versions, none of them shows the real volts, dunno why. :)
Had the same issue, 1.47v set in the BIOS, everything including CPU-Z reading 1.47v, but the validator showed 1.592v...weird. I just put it down to the silly speeds it was running at :D
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1543351
You're saying the max multi allowed will vary from chip to chip? One batch might be 57x, one might be 55x. As if Intel is really gonna go into each batch and set the max multi differently... I think that matters more on the stepping, whether the person is using a D1 ES or D2 retail.
Thanks Monstru :up:
Haven't tried this yet but will later on today <crosses fingers>
Hey man, that's not silly, nice speed you got there. Are you limited by the multi or the chip does not scale higher with voltage?Quote:

Hey my friend, just flash the X bios, enable vPLL override and enjoy the ride :DQuote:

only works for D2 stepping D1 and D0 ES no go.
It's a good chip, I think that's just as high as it'll go on air/water though, any movement results in bsod when under load, but it's stable/benchable at that speed for most things, voltage doesn't seem to make any difference either. Can't complain though :up:Quote:

I see that same power for the UD5 with the extre chokes where the NF200 shoudl be , but there is no NF200 on the UD5 so i think its for CPu uncore(system agent).
SVID is in play it seems, my VID keeps changing for some reason, very wierd stuff. Seems like you can just walk up multi to around 4.5 and VID will increase slightly with it as well, and i think this is the proper implementation of svid.
Total system power consumption measured at the plug without heavy GPU aka gpu is like 10 watt x1550 low profile(POS) goes to 130w load at 5.2ghz with 1.53vcore LLC 2, which is amazing, and them exceeds tdp loading off heat like non other under heavy cpu stress like IBT.
Sadly i only have a D1 stepping cpu, pll unlock seems to do nothing. BUT i have heard mprovments from MANY with D2 steppers.
Hmm, there are 2 of those on this board as far as I saw...Quote:

I take it that the GB H67MA-UD2H allowed (or allows) CPU overclocking? Or you meant something completely different?Quote:

there are three ISL chips. One only controls the 24 phases, that is the isl 6366, the others are two phase buck pwms, one for RAm, and i think the other for NF200 maybe uncore. The UD9 had two exact same 6 channel PWMs control all 24 phases. This new pwm is obviously more advanced.
Yes, but unfortunately much to oversized compared to what consumption we can get out of SB.
Did is the latest version of the BIOS contains the UEFI BIOS, as in the new motherboards Asus and MSI P67 chipset-based ????

Could you explain a bit more about that please mate? Also, I'm on a P8P67 Deluxe, the VCCSA was quite low.Quote:

Sorry dont know much more about it.

Yes, you are right, the old versions read VTT, this new one works.
- no, no EFI yet.Quote:

Did is the Gigabyte has confirmed that it intends to introduce full UEFI implementations (friendly graphical interface with 1024x768 resolution,support mouse,more languages - Asus efi bios currently support 6 languages ,Msi efi bios support 15 languages and other efi features ) to their bios the socket 1155, AM3 + and future sockets ??? because for now uses it hybrid efi bios.

quotation from page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3761#ov
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.
one could surely do with the Bios would be chip version of the classic elements of efi bios and full efi bios with support for mouse-friendly graphical user interface, support for multiple languages.
Did Gigabyte hybrid efi bios, running in 32-bit or 64 bit mode and is immediately available to boot the system, all memory. If your motherboard bios P67 B3 operates in 16 bit mode and is available for the latter only 1 MB of memory??
