Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[CodeRush]

I got EX85-Extreme and Core i7 920 about 2 weeks ago.
Problems:
1. MoBo sets tRFC timing automaticaly, dispite of manual setup. Solved in F4j BIOS.
2. Strange starting sequence with 4 soft-offs before starting actualy. One soft-off every time when powered up. Sometimes MoBo falls to endless soft-off loop after failed overclocking. Clear CMOS and BIOS profiles are solutions.
Goods:
1. Over 220 BCLK stable on CPU and NB water cooling. SuperPi 32M result
2. Tri-SLI support.

dinos22, very good SPi 32M result.
What is your maximum unstable BCLK? I have ~222 on cold water. CPU-Z validation
Is there CPU or MoBo QPI-Wall, what do you think?

[dinos22]

i am benching on absolute MAX bus
nothing over that is good even for screen

all boards are hitting this 222 limit basically

What qpi/vtt are you using for 220 Bclk?
