Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[ante_ante]

Try running DDR3-2000+ with at least CAS8-8-8
If you don't have D9GTR/GTS or HCF0 you can forget about it altogether. D9 will need 2V+ to do it, if you are prepared to risk that is up to you (and depends on your cooling).

Also raise your uncore to around 4Ghz . CPU Mhz/QPI speed is irrelevant here, Uncore is key.

Dont know what chip i got on my memorys. Maybe should try to check it.
Running uncore 18 on that pic.

Hi all,

Compliments of the season to you all - now for the question.

Just recently put together a system with Gigabyte EX58 UD5+ Corsair dominator 1600 ram And I7 920 chip all runs fine But .....

When I boot up either cold or restart the post screen - ie the first Bios screen never shows up - I have tried the setting in bios for the splash screen on or off plus pressing the Tab key but it refuses to show.

The only way I can get it to show is if I go into bios and load optimized defaults and then it shows splash screen and I can press tab key to see post screen. Anybody else seen this or know the cause of it?

I have loaded the official F4 bios to fix the resume from sleep issue with str, but I had the above problem before this anyway - any ideas anybody?

Would be grateful for input on this one

Ps the problem even happens at stock speeds - only running at 3gig at the mo - with turbo mode ie only 3 gig on 21 multi if that makes sense.

Does this happen all the time or just when you cold boot?

If it happens all the time, are you running SLI or Crossfire? For example, running Crossfire and having your monitor plugged into the wrong card will cause the problem you described: you can't see the POST screen and get no video signal until you boot into Windows. Connecting your monitor to the other video card will resolve this.

If you're NOT using multiple GPU's, then I'm not sure what the problem is and would need more info before trying to determine what it could be.

Hi

Thanks for your post. I am only using a single 8800gts graphics card, and yes this problem happens all the time. I have also tried both connections to the graphics card with no joy. Hope I can find out what is causing this as it is slightly irritating. If you need more info - let me know.
