The Vdoop is not the problem, im a defender of the Good Vdroop
The strange issue is that we have the same real voltage from 1.4000 set in Bios to 1.37500 set in Bios. When down a notch below the 1.37500 i see 1.228v in load in ET6 and Cpuz, from 1.37500 to 1.4000, i see the same load voltage: 1.244

vega22, see post 921. It is just limitation of sensors reading in steps of .016 versus bios setting .00625.

Sorry ... today I'm more stupid than usual. I answered without having read all the posts pending. In addition, i just write wrong all my voltages: 1.244 and 1.228 should be 1.344 and 1.328 (i should really to use excel)
IMPRESSIVE WORK rge.
All my doubts were cleared up completely with your post. Thank you so much

here is a good diagram of QPI and other connections, it is to the I/0 hub on desktop platform (equivalent of NB), but everything from NB/SB has to through QPI eventually to get to cpu.

GRRRRR, I bought the Gigabyte X58 Ext and an Asus P6T - Dlx, i7 920 and 3 x 2gb Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D.

Asus board runs like a dream, I can shut it down put more ram into it reboot without issues etc etc just like all my previous Asus boards.

The Gigabyte is a NIGHTMARE, first boot up was fine, flashed to the F4m bios without issues, made some bios changes rebooted no problems. Went to install os and realised I didn't have my ide cable connected for cdrw....no issue powered down and turned off the power and pluged in the ide cable, powered on and no post, just a quick fan spin up, few leds flashed then noting. Cleared cmos = nothing.

Hrm....striped the mobo down of everything and left the battery out and the jumper on the cmos pins overnight. Next morning removed the jumper, battery back in, cpu in and 1 stick of ram in + graphics card and it booted up fine, so I think okay, powered down, turned off power, put 2 more sticks of ram in and connected hdd and cd rom, power up and same trip, no post just a quick fan spin, ledf flash briefly and nothing....rince and repeat for 3 days now. Seems like anytime it's shut down it just won't re post.

Any ideas????, remember all components work fine on the P6T-D.

This might be my first and last foray into the realms of Gigabyte.
