Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

Not sure what I am doing wrong here, but I cant get past 175 bclk on my UD5 and 940 to save my life. 175x22 (23 with permaturbo) is rock solid, prime & linpack stable. 180 x 19+, bsods within 5 minutes of prime (getting a lot 0x00000101 and 124s). Current settings are follows, using f4k:

22x175
QPI=36
uncore=13
spd=6
timings are 9-9-9-24 (corsair 1600 rated @7-7-7-10 @1.8v)
LLC=Enabled
Vcore=1.475
QPI/VTT = 1.400
CpuPLL=1.900
QPIpll= 1.24
IOH Core=1.200
ICH I/O =1.58
ICH Core=1.14
Dram=1.8

Raising Vcore all the way to 1.55 does not help the bsods at 180+bclck. Any thoughts and suggestions appreciated...

Edit: Turbo and HT are both on...and playing the EIST function didnt seem to help any.

I would honestly try to nail down a decent clock without HT enabled, then work on it. It just throws another variable in there to deal with.

124's in my experience are usually vcore, but at 1.475v....you're already pushing it. That is just a brutal amount of vcore to throw at a cpu at such low frequency. Also the uncore should be lowered like Bobbylite mentioned.

It seems like you're not really taking the right approach....at all. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you keep your settings where they are, your cpu is going bite it fast.

try these settings.

175 x 23
QPI 44x
Uncore 18x
Mem 8x
ICH Core 1.40
Turbo On, HT OFF
