Dudes, anyone using this board with 20x200MHz and HT on?
It seems to be real hard to get it stable with HT.

Extreme or UD5?

Could you post your bios settings at your 200x20 HT attempt?

Yeah, its a real hard task. Some people calim to have it stable, but i question that.

Some peoples idea of stability is ludicrous as well.

Real hard task here too. But it varies for me from day to day, depending on different variables. Sometimes the system can not boot. Sometimes I can test with Linx a while

EDIT: 20x200/x36/x12/x6 is very easy. The real problem is for me 20x200/x36/x16/x8. Increasing the Vcore is what helps me

Have you tried relaxing the ram timings at all? Huge impact on stability for me and the only reason why I went with CAS9 to start with.

when testing 20x200 allways i set my mems @ stock: 1600/8-8-8-24/1.66v, or 1.7v for safe stability while testing Vcore, IOH and Qpi
The 20x200 issue is...another x-file.

Could you amuse me and try CAS9?

[rge]

I wonder if the 20x200 issue some are having is i920 related or just certain cpus. My i940 has no problems whatsoever with 20x200 or 20x205 or my 24/7 of 21x200. 20x200 prime 9 hrs stable with uncore 17x, dram 1.64, qpi 1.33, vcore 1.35bios, qpi pll, ioh, and cpu pll all +1 notch over stock.

Though I dont have problems with 20 multi, I do have issues with 22x multi, the stock of my i920. Using it I need about 5-6 notches higher vcore for same Mhz over 21 or 23(turbo) multi.

Can someone please post links for the following UD5 BIOSes:

F4J
F4M

I've looked everywhere, and all I can find are these for the Extreme. I need them for the UD5.

Thanks!!!

usually has a lot of bios files.

Not to be rude, but I wouldn't be begging here unless I had looked thoroughly.

They have F, K, L, and R at Station. I need J and M, please.

[ReverendMaynard]

Still pushing it, now that I have a non-RAID XP SP3 install to pound into the dirt. Second and third shots not really any faster clockwise, but fairly decent benches none-the-less

[safan80]

so who has 20x200 with HT on 64bit stable?

[Theta]

One last try - need to re-load this up tonight...

Anyone have F4j or F4m for the UD5? Post or send me a PM if you have it, and I can link it here, etc. I'd be happy to host these (since they are considered the best to use), as well.

Just for fun:
20x200, 9-9-9-24, Vcc, Qpi, IOH and Vdimm same values as in 19x211:
the longest beeeeeep ever heard by these ears in a board, and the big announcement "overclocked failed" on post...

[Splave]

looking sexy rev

@Safan80, takes 1.425 vcore to hit 4ghz HT on seems like an A stepping thing to me extra voltage with HT.

well that blows. Thanks for trying it anyway.

[Splave]

any ideas and breaking through 215bclk
Vcore 1.5*v 1.6** vqpi/vtt 1.7*vdimm (not giving exact because I dont want you to try and ruing your chip )
Maybe upp the pll a bit? was at 1.8v

try 1.9 pll

I might try f5a again,do you mind if i have your bios settings?

here's some settings you can try if you are having trouble.. you should be able to use lower voltages though

[BulldogPO]

There is my allmost stable 20x200MHz settings:
CPU is 965EE ES(C0) and board is UD5 with lowsy F5a bios, memory is 3x2GB PC12600 CL8 Corsair Dominators.

[tonytiger]

try 1.9 pll

Thanks for those settings they didn't help.I think my 920 hates qpi/vtt higher than 1.180 .Now i am unsure if i need to try another 920 or another x58 board.I have pretty much given in and settled with 21x170 (3570mhz) seems to work fine ,i suppose thats not bad but i was hoping for much higher.I might wait to see if a better bios comes along but i don't think that will help,i guess some 920's have better yield unicore clocks than others.

[giorgos th.]

tried F5a for the UD5 today.....gained ~40mhz on the cpu with much lower Vcore...
also better Qpi - uncore clocks....
allaround seems better than the F4f i was using till now..

Isn´t F5a beta for Extreme ? Or is it possible to use F5a beta on UD5 boards?
Do i just use Qflash to flash like usual even with extremebioses ?

Link maybe to f5a ? Want to try

[giorgos th.]

Both UD5 - Extreme....

just use Q-flash yes..
