I am surprised you guys and gals aren't running your i7's at 5Ghz air cooled!

Hmm, weird.
Bios F4k and bios latency settings are only affecting A channel, B and C channels are totaly different.

Has anyone tried tri-sli on this board yet? I don't know if it's the case or the board but it looks like i'm not going to fit a card in the 3rd slot, with that bit of metal in the way:

3-way SLI is not possible with dual slot coolers, its stupid they advertise it, no one is going to be able to use it, you cant 3-way a 9800GT thats single slot.

is this a joke? lol 5ghz on ait is VERY rare. Even if you reach it, i would love to see you run prime95 for more than 5 mins.

Dudes, what is postcode 69 on GA-EX58-UD5?

Hi

Gigabyte UD5 you need to use white slots , using Blue slots the system doesnt boot and you get the 69 postcode (at least with F2 & F3 Bios , i didnt tested with other bios)

so far on air I have ran 4.6

ps I had to mod the case and even the third card. I need a case with 8 of those holes in the back (forgot what they are called lol)




actually I ordered this case and it should work

Silverstone TJ07 works fine for tri-SLI. I have two graphics cards (top and bottom) and a PCIe 8x RAID card in the middle without any issues other than needing a single slot backplate for my second GTX 260.

Personally I *LOVE* having the bottom slot for your second video card. It leaves 4 slots (if they hadn't done that ridiculous thing where they cover up the top PCIe slot... I mean, why bother?) usable even with a dual card SLI setup!

Hi guys

3800Mhz @ 1.20v


BCLK 200
Multi x19
Uncore x16
memory multi x8
QPI/VTT : 1.235v
Vcore : 1.20v LOAD






Very Good Bios

Has anyone gotten Vista sleep mode to work in their mobo? It's broken in my new rig, worked perfectly in my old C2D machine.
x58 ud5, vista 64 home, S3 suspend type enabled in bios.

except it isn't showing your proper vcore.

This is a shot taken at 1.375v, LLC enabled 1.344v after drop, 1.326v after droop.

Can you explain how? Even with a single slot back plate how do you get round the big bit of metal there that would block installation?

Think i might end up waiting for this dual slot GTX200 card i keep hearing about..

Nice job, what are your other motherboard voltages on? My board really hates anything but auto

[radaja]

quick question for I7 guys.coming from 775 is it a steep learning curve to be able to overclock these x58 setups with any kind of success?

If you can overclock a 775, then you should be able to overclock a core i7 easily, considering its much easier than a 775.

[radaja]

really?in what way is it easier?just reading the threads confuse the heck out of me. so much different terminology i guess.

Hi

im using

1.60v Ram
1.80 PLL
Vcore : 1.25v Bios

True !!!
