Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[rge]

On my Extreme i have same problem, it will do pcie 100-103, but 104 and above I get a blank display, and get same on many different bioses. I tried switching to an old 7600 nvidia card I had, same 103 pcie limit, guess I need to try an ati like reverend said, but dont have one unfortunately.

But looks like some second generation mobo's have better circuitry/layout with cleaner signals allowing higher bclk, etc, not to mention cpu's themselves ie, D0's with higher capability. 255 bclk on classified with 248 bclk benching stable is pretty impressive for both cpu and mobo. Wonder if GB will be releasing any new revisions soon.

Word. There is a weakness involved here with the first spin X58's and eVGA are cashing in large with it. Good on them, about time they actually innovated the tech instead of just re-inventing customer service
