Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[zlojack]

If you keep that 200 BCLK, when you raise CPU Multi, you'll get crashes with 20x or 21x with your current config.

Due to?

It's a good read. btw that 8:9 ratio is in reality .888333 and not .888889.

This is for the 920i. I'm not sure how it translates to the other processors.

I was unable to get 200 x 20 or 200 x 21 stable because I was using 8x mem and either 16 or 17x uncore with Qpi 36x

Remember one thing, uncore multi needs to be at least 2x memory multi.

The ratio between uncore to Qpi was about .888889 which more than the .888333 allowed.

The Qpi frequency seems to max out at 4 GHz, so the way I stabilized at 200 x 21 was to lower memory to 6x, lower uncore to 15x. That lowered my uncore to QPI ratio to .833333 which is lower than the .888333.

That kept my qpi freq. at 3600Mhz which is under the 4000MHz ceiling.

This seems to be the limitations

What we need is for the MB companies to unlock a 40X QPI mult, as well as odd numbered memory multipliers.

All that being said, I think that some people may have been able to get that stable using 36x 16x 8x, but that is more the exception than the rule.

New beta bios for EX58 UD5, i already tested and work well.

F4L BIOS of GA EX58 UD5

i only have UD5, first i flashed with Extreme bios, today i tried this BIOS
then flash again, but seems ID not change, lol

but,the board i tested its UD5 for sure.

Noticed any changes with the Extreme bios?

[hicookie]

new beta BIOS fixed some module if oc 2100MHz can't set memory
timing by manual, also this BIOS add QVL of Corsair 1866 3CH.

so should we skip 4fl and go to f4n for ud5 ?

Yes

[FuriousSalesman]

Yes

What is new with f4n? Its like some random person giving people some Totally Awesome Sweet Alabama Liquid Snake.

woops read your post.

[freshy]

Yes

thanks hicookie, you are making gigabyte look good with your support

going to f4n now

I am impressed, gigabyte is pushing out bios files faster than Asus for a change. Hopefully they are fixing stuff, and not just releasing random bios files.

i second that

Still unable to run 12gb. My windows installation got corrupted again. Have to reinstall again.

Yes

So the ud5 bios works fine with the extreme ex58? If so i will flash tonight.

They are the same exact board, except for the NB cooling, it should work without any issues.

Thanks. I thought that was the case but i didn't see any one mention it so i didn't want to rick it. cheers.

whats wrong with 12GB? could you tell me whats your module?
some media already push 12GB 1600MHz(CPUz) on GA EX58 series.
and im sure mass of 2GBX6 could ran 1333MHz

So in return for extra cash what i got was a NB block that leaks, classic

Why do TT list different bios versions for the 2 boards?

With 140 BCLK, I can run 1700 CAS8 with 12GB of CSX DDR3-1600 ram and 1,45V QPI/VTT.
With 170 BCLK I need to lower the ram mult to run at 1320 or increase QPI/VTT voltage.

It is possible to run even more than 1700Mhz with 12GB, if you had a 965 you could push it by leaving BCLK at stock and OCing via multiplier.

When i try to update with that bios i get this error.

[X.T.R.E.M.E_ICE]

Do i have to rename the file so it will work with EX58 Extreme?

[freshy]

i am on f4n now, and for the last 2 hours ive been trying to get stable @ 4ghz and 4.1ghz with turbo on HT on, but i cant , i think it wants more voltage than what i needed for f4k,

also another thing i noticed,

cpu clock drive 700mv default on f4n
pci e clock drive 700mv default on f4n

on f4k cpu clock drive 800mv default
pci e clock drive 900mv

is there a reason for this ?
ive tried to change it to like the f4k was but still no good think it just wants more vcore and qpi/vtt v

i'll try for a bit more then im going back to f4k
