Need your help before I decide to return my P67A UD7 to the retailer.

I'm having very strange problems.

Let me explain, I have A Coolermaster Stacker and connected the usbF1 and 2
located on de bottom of the mb to the cables of my case.
When I than place the Logitech Unifier in one the the usb slots my KB and mouse
work, but during post Delete Key does not work, so I used a cables kb to enter
the Bios.
When I place the receiver in the back USB 2/3.0 slots I'm able to use the
wireless kb Delete key.

Yesterday all of a sudden I received a short flash msg. stating somethin like
"usb hub peak voltage error etc" I only have two usb connections 1 for my Printer 2 for the Logitech Receiver.

Also my Asus D1 pci sound card located in the bottom slot, is sometimes not
recognised (so no sound)

I did a clean Windows 7 64 bits install and meanwhile flashed to F6 also my
Sapphire hd5770 is now giving a kind off coil whine sound, previously on
my P55 ud6 these problems were not present.

So concluding do I have a buggy moederboard or are their any options /
suggestions which I could test prior to returning the bord tomorrow.

I think this is my 8th Gigabyte mb in 10 years, but haven't encountered
so many problems before.

thanks for your appreciated feedback.

I have a set of the 2000 and 2133's on the way to the house. Looks like we will have very similar setups. I am interested to see your results.

Havent played with the new rig much, but so far it seems pretty sweet.

Kept having problems with bios recovering on boot and loading f3/default, flashed the backup bios to f6 official from Giga website, and was able to flash to f7a beta using qflash and the problem seems to have stopped. (Thanks C-N for posting the alt/f12 tip to flash backup bios)

Nice voltages and decent time for 5GHz! Looks like a good chip!

[radaja]

OC Nub,very nice
how does it compare with your i7-930 at 4.5GHz?
i mean doe you feel it to be a big improvement?

Thanks! I hope to get this chip in the 5ghz section of your LinX thread soon.

Thanks!
I havent done much testing other than whats posted, but the good temps alone to me make it well worth the "upgrade".

Am having problems with the F7a bios. Every time I reboot, it will start/show the F6x bios (the backup bios), then restart again to the F7a bios. It won't directly start with F7a.
Reverted back to F6x.

Question guys, which LLC level do you recommend? Maybe for benching to start with. TIA....

[Johnny87au]

OC nub im sure you can hit around 5.2, 5.3 @ around 1.5

I have been using LLC1, I always used it on the x58 UD7.


Got it a little higher fairly easy.

@OC_Nub: Thanks for that. It's what I have used for the run I posted. Will try a bit more higher volts after work.

[PolRoger]

Looking good so far OC Nub. What is your batch#?

[sin0822]

LLC Level two shows to set vcore 0.03v higher at load when i measured with DMM.

Nice job, I foudn that BIOS F5 was the best for my OCing, but I can't use CPU PLL Overvoltage. I foudn that F6X let me do 107.5blck and I used F3 for 5.2ghz, and F5 did the same.

[OC Nub]

New RealTemp works great with SB. Thanks unclewebb

Looking good so far OC Nub. What is your batch#?

Thanks!, Batch# L040B698..

@sin0822, Nice job with your oc


Messing around with the new G.Skill 2133 pi's, first try at cas5.

[skeyo]

Nice memory u have there. I should push my corsair dom. gt to see how they compare. What are the voltages for that cas 5 run?

[OC Nub]

Thanks, vdimm set to 1.66v, QPI/VTT 1.20v and PCH 1.10v

Picture of the messy rig, Im not very good at cable management.

[Hondacity]

nice catch oc_nub ....
