No luck here with Hyper Redlines, on Ud7 or UD4, even with various other SPD's.

Let me know how you get along, but I suspect it's not going to go smoothly at 2133

Well that blows. Maybe I'll get lucky though since it seems to be randoms which chips work. I was planning on getting a set of PSC's anyways. I also got some BBSE's to play with until I order some gskills.

yea it seems like teh best bet for cheap ddr3 2133 is PCS

Id pay 13 bucks for faster shipping sure, if i am already paying $500 why not.

Ya I got this wallet squeak syndrome. Ya I know that makes a lot of since when I was looking at a $650 order. Oh well I'll be benching by the weekend.

[the_real_7]

Many thanx for your info. I'm good to go now.

Whether I stay with F8x or go for F8f is not the big mystery it was. I can go with either.The reboot loops with certain settings I can live with.

Maybe Gigabyte UK will make this problem irrelevant if they come through with my B3 version.

Thanx again.

No Probs newhit btw nice setup
B2 is great really was on Monday, I just got nervous cause i have massive data , stay off those twp ports with sensitive data and b2 is still the ish

[G H Z]

GTX2's work great on UD7 for me, they run tight too.

Yeah GriZ, I like B3 now as well, new BIOS made a big difference. I noticed the BIOS file sizes are very different, the newer ones are much bigger. Whatever is in there is working

[cowie]

I can do much better with these boards on phase Cowie (Multi sometimes, and Bclk for sure), so Dice may help you a little bit if that is the only sub-zero cooling you can use.

ok i got my kayl pot on sb first time with dice.. not too good results.
i think chip might have a mhz limit because not much movement at all.
air 54x max multi, max clocks(3d) 53x103 5.447
dice54x max,clocks 5466?
maybe its best to use software to push it more?
does the software work in windows now when i first tried it just froze up.
what programes would i need?since i neep to put on stick(no net not 24/7 os)is software just good for blk in software not multi?

[OC Nub]

wondering where you were at buddy hadn't seen you post in a while:welcome
I am going to order a UD7 B3 this friday, can't wait to test it.

Thanks.

Ive been trying to learn to bench for points lol. Its something new and has been fun, but its rough on the hardware.

Hey Oc Nub what happened to the board ? call newegg are gigabyte they'll get you back up in a ud7 quick

I bent/broke a pin, but kept pushing it. It did good for a month but finally died.
B3 board should get here next week.

I'm totally loving this board. I was hating it for a while until I took the Hypers out. Redlines were a no go.. Once I switched to F3C and did the backup bios it got better. When I switched to my trusty BBSE life was grand. My only gripe is the vdroop, but I need to take the dmm to it to see if that is real droop. Here are a few screenies while I was feeling out the board.

[Falkentyne]

Let us know how the DMM reading is. I think the board overvolts by at least 0.02 from the sensors....

[bassplayer]

STT Chrome 2000 8-8-8's are running happily at 2133 8-8-8 at 1.66V on B3!

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

@ bassplayer so you hopped on the sandy wagon? how much vdimm for the hypers?

@ chuchnit great job and nice efficiency

I'll be sure to report back. I've only had a chance to play with the setup for about 5 hours or so. I need to test LLC2 out too. Not until I throw a dmm at things first though.

Man I wish my hypers would play on this board. I'll revisit them again once I get some solid 32m for the OC4 Japan Contest. Would you care to share your bios settings for us to compare?

@ chuchnit great job and nice efficiency

Thanks! I never could get this ram to run anywhere near this on X58 so I gotta figure out what subs will work. Plus I need to try 6-9-6 or 7-9-6 if they will run that tight. Hopefully I can tighten up my eff a lot once I get the a better feel for the system.

Hows the f3h bios treating you guys?
I have not tested it yet... any change report?

Duno if only me notice it but F3H boots faster than F3C.
My Hypers still failed in 32M.

i'm still on f2... so at this point with endless reboots and failed clocks even at stock 1 second then all ok other i am ready to put a bullet in the poor thing.

[sin0822]

churchnit i was going to do an LLC analysis of this board for my own resources i just got the B3 in, so ill be doing that as well if you want to compare our findings. I bet this board overvolts/undervolts just as much as the B2 did.

[cowie]

f3h jz bios sucks big time, testing a chip before i flashed bios 55x and 56x was ok with f2,the f3h jz was good for nuttin could not even post at 5.3..back to f2 alls ok again.
i'd wait to hear what others make of it before the flash to f3h jz,if no issues just take my word for it.

[sin0822]

what is jz for?

[cowie]

i dont know? its listed f3h jz in bios

[chuchnit]

Cowie you're booting with higher multi's with F2? I was having the boot loop issues so went to the beta quick.

Interested in your results too.

Did you clear the CMOS before doing this?
Always clear the CMOS before concluding that the BIOS is bugged. I once had my PCIE frozen at 8x before I didn't clear the CMOS after a flash (unless I went over 100.00 BCLK). Clearing cmos fixed that.

If I can have that bug, who knows what else can happen.
So get that CMOS cleared, enable PLL Overvoltage, and you may find your Multi's working again.

[sin0822]

installing OS as we speak on the B3 board. It came with F2, what are you guys finding best? I am guessing not F3H? i can test out LLC, but it varies a lot BIOS to BIOS when they change it they have a lot of options, so which BIOS? should i just use F3H? my CPUs max is 5.2 its D1.

[Lsdmeasap]

what is jz for?

JZ lame attempt at stopping Stasio from posting BIOS updates, so everyone will know they are from him first and not Stasio (Like anyone really cares who has them first).

I actually would prefer he didn't do it solely based on the fact that means he's editing each BIOS for sure, which he shouldn't be doing.

It's too bad GIGABYTE doesn't keep Stasio up to date each week (or so) like they said they would.

I have been using F3c for a week or so without issue, and just started using F3h without issue as well, so I think either will be fine for you to use

[cowie]

boot loops with f2 for me too,but better then f3h jz for me. the multi was ok to set but i had to leave voltage at auto i could not manually set them at all

Its the first things i do before and after flash

its ok for you? then i try again, looking to try f3c this time thuo

[Falkentyne]

Perfect for me on my UD5 with f3c.

And TurboDIV was floored when he left his comp off for 8 hours and came back and it booted right up with the saved settings (after he flashed BIOS to f3c).
