Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[Ghigo]

I got same problem with easytune not starting, it return immediatly a app crash , tried 4 OS installs with even 2 diffrerent vista x64 version(one integrated october and one old sp1 release).
Drivers also no matter installed them in multiple combinations or with just chipset driver and easytune after without no other driver.
Must be a hardware combination giving the prob for sure.

I got an ati 4870 , 12 GB ram corsair and a Vraptor.

Even the advance powersave software no start it return at start version of software no updated download a new one from gigabyte site, this with bios F2-F3 -F4D -F4E.

Installing water on the weekend for test some 4ghz+

I am on a ga-x58-extreme, confirming the windows initialization failed error

Hi

yep , easytune dont work with Vista 64 bit !!!

ok so which one is the best bios or latest for the gigabyte extreme version? I have f3 right now.

personally i think F3 is the best so far ! (for both Extreme & UD5)



Btw: the mobo only reset settings when the system is NOT stable !!!

ABout the long time it takes for the board to boot thats normal !

f4f, running 4.1ghz without any issue, 1.392 with vdrop, 1.41vcore bios, cpu-z 1.408.
saw a increase in vcore dramtically from 4ghz to 4.1ghz.
play bf2 for a few hours and primed for 15min.
turbo enabled.

1.41v Bios = 1.392v FULL LOAD ????

Is there any reason to get the Extreme version over the UD5 for an aircooled system w/ an i7 920?

nice going fellas
i've been testing my UD5 with a couple of bios files F2 and F4E

i primed at 4GHz/4.1/4.2 all shortly to see if it can handle it and ram some superpi without HT at 4267 stable

the CPU i have is not the best but board seems pretty stable

i was emailed this new F4F bios as well which is supposed to remove some uncore bugs so will have to retest that

i'm going to knock up some info once i get some testin done with SS as well

will do some much needed RAM testing...just hoping harve can knock up a final version of memset for these so i can play with RAM subtimings in windows

so far so good though
i havent experienced those reboot unstable settings like you guys mentioned but i've really just been experimenting for a short while yet

it does boot a lot slower than previous gen boards though but no big deal
