Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

all I know is that when I have triple sli enabled its 16-8-8 shown in gpu-z

On a different not, bios F5C is allowing me to push my HT settings. I was struggling to get 3.99ghz with 1.45vcore + now with a load cpu-z says 1.344 load 1.36 idle with considerably less set in bios (1.375)

Stasio, you should post the change log image you did on different forum

I think the workstation model is populated with PCI-x lanes.

nice man, glad that helped a bit. I have to see some 200blck action though

In due time my friend

Has anyone tested the EX58-Extreme to see how much it undervolts? I have the vCore set in the BIOS to 1.375v as well but CPU-Z is showing my core voltage under load in LinX at 1.312-1.328 V instead whereas his is at 1.344v load. I am clocked just slightly lower though at 20x195 (3.9Ghz). I have LLC enabled in the BIOS.

1.4125 set in bios
1.376 idle
1.36 fully loaded

I don't care about vdrop, it's the vdroop and it's minimal.

anyone tried a pci-e 1x riser on the 1x slot? this board would be ideal for me if that slot was usable... the whole 16x 8x 8x would not be too horrible I think until I go quad SLI or something.. oh well!

Bobby is getting insane results with Tri-Sli...the difference is negligible.

yeah, I am looking at some other reviews and it would appear running those lanes at 8x doesn't hinder performance at all.. so I guess I am back in business here... and if that riser trick works also, heck I can go tri-sli with both my pci-e 1x devices also.

what riser trick?

[jonneymendoza]

how easy is it to OC this board and what are the main issues with it? im in a toss up between this and the ASUS P6T delux. im wondering if the extra £15 for the ASUS one is really worth it.

what are the CS like in both manifacturer's?

bump?

[revenant]

what riser trick?

I am thinking with this and putting the short pci slot cover on my raid card I might be able to use the 1x slot... maaaaaaybe.. if not, it's not the end of the world, but it would be cool to be able to use that slot if possible..

edit: the riser should be able to get the card high enough, I think, but getting the slot cover to fit right might require some monkeying around.

[Leeghoofd]

bump?

Board is very easy to OC mate, and works fine here up to 211Bclck (my rams cap out at 1688mhz) and you get one multi for free

Only thing till now is that when my board goes into hibernation it doesn't repost... could be my board or hardware setup... but I don't use that feature anyway... no mater which of the boards you choose it will give you a nice fast and stable OC..

Weirdest thing, just turned it on. Been fine for weeks, got half way through loading windows and it restarted. Went into a reboot loop, turned off and it came up with corrupted bios recovery. I flashed the bios back to F4J from F2 and it needed a cmos reset before it would start. Put the settings back in and its fine again. What would cause that?

power outage at night possibly?

Bobblylite, so F5c is allowing the same OC with lower Vcore?

Compared to the BIOS my board shipped with? Yes. F5d is the same also. Most likely the same for Bobby Lee.

Hi Guys,

Just got my board and set it up yesterday evening along with watercooling. I have the UD5, just trying to get a consensus on which is the best bios. Also, under water I am getting about 37-40 degrees C idle using a EK supreme block, ek supreme 4870 block, 120.3 thermochill rad with three fans and using feser. Is this about right, not sure if it needs to be reseated or not?

Cheers,

Blue

I had the worst time OCing with HT enabled on F4J, tryed to get just a 10x linX run wasnt possible even at 1.475vcore 200x20 or 190x21 now Im stable with considerably less vcore.

Also running the ram at cas 7 which wasnt possible before on the x8 multi with over 180bclk

here is the changelog btw

[Lukee]

Damn, I can't see the changelog.. do you have a link to it?

Hi i am running 5a bios with no problems @ 21 x 200 turbo on HT off
but will flash to 5d tonight
i have very smiliar setup watercooling wise and my temps are 38 to 41 idle.
a also reseated the supreme and change the orientation of the blockwith the inlet on the right hand side

how are your northbridge temps
i am think about removing the blue cover off it and put small fan on top or watercooling with a MIPS north & south bridge full cover but then would have to change cooling on the morfits

They are MUCH cooler with a spot fan.

how do you read the NB temp? everest ultimate only shows the motherboard temp and AUX temp
