Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

@Mr.Fixit, you will need to run your mem multi @ 6x if you want to use anything lower than 16x on Uncore, as the rule is that Uncore should be twice that of the RAM multi, you can set it higher than double, but if you trying going lower it results in BSOD.

I have found that with my UD5's, I cannot use the 12x Uncore multi when using a 6x mem multi, that refuses to POST for me altogether, when using 6x on mem, I have to use 13x uncore for my system to POST.

As for WC, I am going to be purchasing parts to setup a custom loop for my rig, I will be using the HK 3.0 as well after seeing a few builds where people are using them, as the temps compared to air are fantastic.

I seen someone on another forum with temps of 61c full load @ 4GHz, that is amazing compared to air imo.

Thanks, I am already running with the x6 mem multiplier. I too tried x12 for Uncore with no Post, hence why I set it at 16. But I will try 13 as you suggest, although I am not sure whether this will stop the alarm going off.

I look forward to seeing your before and after w/cooling temps. I assume you will need to use a triple rad in the loop.

EDIT:

OK, so I have just tried the 13x Uncore and it posts OK, but again after about 45 secs of LinX I get an alarm souding. So, what can this be due to? It's not overheating or throttling (around 74 deg C). Any more ideas to try anyone? BTW - LinX will keep running OK, so it is just the alarm problem I can't live with - it's way too loud!
