Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[BlueSoulJah]

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

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.

Thanks for the reply. I'll flash tonight. So, the watercooling sounds about right, then? I guess I'll only see the difference when I try pushing it. I haven't really put an OS on as yet as I had a few problems with it last night. I'm planning to put an OS on it tonight and start playing, so, I'll let you know.

By the way, what's the setting to turn the throttling off called on the UD5? Is it CPU Thermal Monitor?

Just disable C1E, CPU Thermal Monitor, EIST, Virtualization, and Bi-Directional PROCHOT.
