Nice clocks Brother! Keep pushing it. I was able to lower my vCore and QPI/VTT a bit as well with the F4J bios (EX58-Ext).

Thanks for sharing the info.

Looks like I have to try a new bios on my extreme as well, since the 8x ram mult isn't working at a BCLK of 200 with either of my 6GB kits.

I've had success with 6GB of Corsair Ram with the F3 and the F4J bios' (what is the plural spelling of the bios?) with a BClk of 200. My settings are very similar to what was shared in this thread. I'm sure you have probably figured it out by now. If not, I'd be more than happy to post my settings.

[jcool]

Nothing to "figure out" really, BCLK of 200 + ram mult of 8 = no post with any of the 6GB kits I tried, regardless of other settings
Need to try new bios.

hi

no , nothing wrong with your chip

only the F4 Bioses keep the Multi x21 always enable with turbo mode (The F3 bios only use multi x21 in single app)


If you want to use multi x21 @ Turbo you need to update the bios !

" Note: You should use the White Ram Slots !!! "

Why we should use White Slots ?

" Note: You should use the White Ram Slots !!! "

Why we should use White Slots ?

hi

White Slots >> Triple Channel

its on Manual Board (page 17 ) >> you must populate the white slots (DDR3_1, DDR3_3, DDR3_5) at first if you want to run triple channel.


first time i used the Blue slots and the system dont even boot !

[eva2000]

Yup

[Ziwro]

Thanks, Another question

I want buy this Mobo for daily usage, is it good ? I see a lot of problem of this mobo :S Strange Noise Problem ( When disable CE in bios, its fine ), Lan Ports Disable Automatically, mobo doesnt recognize 6gb ram Easytune and other programs doesnt run etc. ? Do you have any problem ?

Sorry My Bad English

[Hornet331]

Strange Noise Problem ( When disable CE in bios, its fine )

Depends on the board you get, its usually a coil that beginns to vibrate and makes a high pitched noise. If its to loud just rma it. Theres a risk on every board that it will make noises. But most of the boards wont make a noise.

Lan Ports Disable Automatically,

God damit people should read the damn manual befor playing around...
Its not a problem, its a feature (which you can disable and should be disabled by default). Its called "Green LAN"

mobo doesnt recognize 6gb ram

Theres a chance for every board to have certain incompatibilities with certain rams. Just buy some that are known to work with that board. Also use the white slots.

Easytune and other programs doesnt run

that has nothing to do with the board, but more with the thing that gb sucks at making programs that work under vista 64bit.

[mascaras]

yep , the only "problem" i have is the Easytune error with Vista 64bit , all the rest work just fine !(no problems so far since 25th november)

Hey, I will get my i7 setup in a few days. Just wondering some stuff:

1. Is the Gigabyte EX58-Extreme a good choice vs. Asus P6T Deluxe?
Because I happen´t to order the Gigabyte and I hope I don´t gonna miss anything...

2. Can I move a already working RAID 0 array (2x250GB) who was made on a Asus Crosshair to a NEW motherboard without to lose any data?

3. Do you think the 21x enable of multipel are going to be enable to my a good choice vs. Asus P6T Deluxe? Because I happen´t to order the Gigabyte and I hope I don´t gonna miss anything...

4. Can I move a already working RAID 0 array (2x250GB) who was made on a Asus Crosshair to a NEW motherboard without to lose any data?

5. Do you think the 21x enable of multipel are going to be enable to my EX58-Extreme?

6. Is it true that the turbo thing is only the speed of ONE core?
So it´s like, Core 1 = 4200MHz, Core 2 = 4000. Core 3 = 4000, ex.

[MrHydes]

Exelent work Mascaras, haven't you tried 210BLCK x21 vid under 1.44v with a 3 sticks
