well at stock you can always at least push blck to 103+, at high speeds i think the cold is the trick. Also you most likley need a GPU that can handle the high PCI-E, because as you raise blck you are raising pci-e as well.

[OC Maximus]

I can push bclk to 105.5 at stock speed and to 100.7 at 5.32GHz. This is from boot up. ET6 doesn't give me more bclk in windows.

Darn - never even thought of that. Yet it is so obvious now that you mention in. Hmm time to pull out all the old graphic cards and do some testing.

Thanks

[sin0822]

np i was just thinking you know. BTW nice OCes 1Day impressive!

With my GTX 570s I am able to push 107.5 at stock, i have another card that can handle 130blck so i am going to try that card.

Also at stock teh BLCk can hit 107.5, but OCed only like 103max at around 4.8ghz. my 5.2ghz chip wont do over 100.3 OCed at 5.2ghz.

I was having a look at my motherboard and i remembered i have 4x SATA 3 connectors. So i just moved all my HDD's to those 4 ports. From what i've read it's only the 4x Black SATA 2 ports which are affected by the bug.

[4x Black] [2x White] [2x Black]

I haven't noticed anything by having all my drives on the other ports, but just to be on the safe side i moved all my dives anyway and left my DVD on the old SATA 2 ports.

By the way, is there any drivers to install for the Marvell SATA 6Gbps ports? I had my SSD on the marvel ports but my write speeds were awefull. I changed back to the Intel 6Gbps port and the speeds went back to normal. I checked device manager and there is only a generic driver installed for the Marvell device and i can't see any drivers on Gigabytes website??

[dinos22]

i have an old ET6 somewhere that changes multi in windows upwards but new ones dont, they will sort it out but later

is the 21,33 ratio working jody?

************************

YES thats correct

you also have 2x eSATA ports you can use on that board which are on the second Marvel chip

haven't even gotten there yet. i've only really spent an hour or two with the board. trying to figure a few other things out first.

tomorrow i should have some substantial time with it

[Eldonko]

21,33 works great for me.

[dinos22]

takes a bit of time to get used to it, ive only played with the P8P DLX and it was a weird experience also going that way lol

as i mentioned before OC fail recovery isnt great atm so flicking off a switch on PSU and clearing cmos after crash or C1 does the trick, i bench without a battery installed and use profiles. Now that i know how to push it i dont have to do any of that, just load her up and go

[Kingleo]

guess i am sol on sata ports

[dinos22]

we should change the text on that app


Dumbass, use the other ports

[Kingleo]

Dumbass, use the other ports

right?
seriously, its just 2 dvd drives and a photoshop scratch disk.
I am writing a system image back up(100gb) to the scratch disk every 4 hours and i will benchmark the drive one a week. see how much i can push it.

[dinos22]

im just joking mate you know what you;re doing i can tell















dumbass

















j/k

[aver]

Are the sata 3 ports causing instant damage or is this something that will happen over time?

[dinos22]

SATA3 ports are not the faulty ones, its the SATA2 ports that may go bad over time

[TheHardCase]

Humm not sure whats happened, but nolonger stable @ 5.0
Alot of BSOD.
Need to do some testing...

[dinos22]

tested all the hard drive controllers for superpi performance and found no difference whatsoever ... all same
in case anyone was wondering

[maxxx]

Anyone running a ram kit with PSC chips in them? What vdimm you do you have for a 2133Mhz run? Can't get my G.Skill and Corsair DomGT (with PSC I think) to run at 2133Mhz. The olden DomGT with Hypers works just great. TIA.....

[Johnny87au]

@max, thats quite weird because my PSC's love the ud7 where as my gtx2s dont like the ud7s.. I've seen high dimm voltage up to 1.75 according to HIWA, i'd run your rated specs on the dimms and adjust vtt/system agent till your stable..

[maxxx]

@Johnny: thanks for that. I'll keep fiddling with the voltages I guess. The ram is from G.Skills. Their cas6 triple channel kit from a months back.

Ok downloaded F7 bios from gig's site flashspi & autexec was included so installed with Q-flash in bios worked 100%, no windows @bios flash garbage.

I'm going to start working on F7 bios, so far so good.

[Nostromo]

I had some issues with 8GB 6-8-6 during testing for someone here, so I think it's just BIOS needs some tweaking still is all.
http://www.mushkingames.com/phpbb2/v...ae6aed1a8b80cd

I was able to run the 8GB at 7-9-7 @ 1866 instead and it was much easier, so give that a shot instead - or try 7-10-7 at 2133 (untested, may need 8-10-8)

Thanks again, for this, finally got a chance to test, and in no time was running 2133 7-10-7-24 4 gig. For this mem it was all about the trcd, and it helps to know the sticks you are using, and what they can do. Thank you!

EDIT: changed 7-10-7-34 to 7-10-7-24 oops!

I was Any differences between SSD and classic HDD on this matter?

[NRCH]

So finally finished my UD7 build, still waiting for the gpu blocks but anyway someshots for you, so far I'm at 45x100 with 1.248vcore with LLC1, going to post some screens when I got my 24/7 dialled in

For now the hardware stuff

Sandy likes it flat , lapped up to 10k grid, not polished


Sideview, Phobya 360 Rad is mounted on the top.


Aquaero 4.0 with Flowmeter, thats what I call HighFlow 322Liters/h


Another Side shot




Which Bios would you recommend to use F7 ?

If it's not ok to post the pics inline , I will remove them and just insert the links...

[Eldonko]

I like f7e personally. PLL overvoltage is removed in F7 and I need that. I guess it is back in F7f but I havent tried that one.
