BCLK 235 / PCIe 130 with GIGABYTE MB

[dinos22]

yeah i mainly use 1.57v Uncore, IOH is actually best for me at around 1.26-1.28v. I've been using 117MHz PCIe but i can use up to 126MHz i think or maybe 128Mhz cant remember.............didnt seem to make a difference

as you said you can run uncore even higher which is very encouraging for high NB speeds

i also found CPU Skew 500ps can help in some situations ~when fighting for the last MHz


i've run PCI and PCIe Nvidia card
also single and Xfire ATI 4870

have you run 3D
what is your highest bus clock stable in 3D?

i'm at around 229 with this chip benching everything and 232MHz for 32M SuperPi

[tosunermc]

I havent got any screenshot for 3d and other benches.
I have run 3d06 at 233 only one and cpu completed whole test . I have not tried higher bclk's for 3d .

Where is this magical bios if it works for the ex-58 extreme, could someone send it to me.

me too

My PCI-e Frew doesn't go over 102.9 Mhz , any ideas how to fix this? I've F8B bios.

I tried 106 PCI-E with the EX58-UD3R and it locks up with setFSB. Setting it in the BIOS won't let it boot at all. I have 260 SLI though maybe that's it. I thought I fried a hard drive but it turns out the SATA connector must've fallen off when I took out one of the video cards. lol

Geesh how did I miss this....maybe should be posted in GB x58 thread too, though may want to wait til new bios is released or a lot more will be wanting it

Sweet to see bclk at 235!! good job guys, did not really want to get another brand anyways...this board has been great as has GB support. Now if they would hurry up and release the i950...

[westsider]

can somebody share F8x bios for UD5?

same problem here
with same HArdware DFI had no problems upto 130 PCI-E

UD5 goes only upto 103 and 227Bclk with it

[Monstru]

Grat work Hicookie, dinos and tosunermc bros. Really pushing the UD4P! Will someone pls share the mod and the bios for UD5, I want to try to push the old lady further, she deserves it.

[Oliver]

great improvements man , this will get interesting huh

keep pushing it

[westsider]

can you share this bios please

[bluehaze]

i like the fact you run that sort of uncore volt

if you notice EVGA they are all forced to run low uncore(from what i've seen) hence their NB speeds will suffer badly and performance as a result
if this can be consistent and also able to make it to 240/250 there is going ot be some serious owange soon

starts looking for a good W3540 heheh

Yep, I went from UD5 to Classified and UD5 seem much more stable for higher uncore. Can run uncore volts up to 1.65-1.7 no problem but you do this on EVGA Classified and the board powers down, like it's a safety feature or something kicking in...no errors even when windows reboots no errors.

Really annoying problem with Classified.

[road-runner]

Yes please share the bios for UD5, UD3R and UD4P

[nikolas61]

Yes please share the bios for UD5, UD3R and UD4P

EX-58-EXTREME

[tajoh111]

Stasio, when is this bios going to be available for public download.

[mudkip]

They will never share it... greedy jews

EX-58-EXTREME

+1

[Benny Lodewijk]

it's not only the BIOS, you must hardmod something.... today i test my EX58-Extreme and got max 233 Mhz Bclk on air.... screenshot will follow laterz.

Pls PM me for the BIOS

[Sniper]

Hope the next gen X58 motherboards will solve or atleast extend this bclk wall.

[Booj]

I was afraid of that. No 222mhz fix without a hardmod

would explain why gigabyte have their entire x58 line up being revised with new models?

[Raja@ASUS]

With regards to VTT board to board varying, remember some of the boards appear to be able to run more VTT, but lose some of that percieved voltage thru the under socket power grid (what is seen at the CPU is the important factor). Voltage monitor sensing will be at the 'high' side of the power plane. I don't have an Extreme here so have no idea what it drops from high side to low. I'll try and get soemone I know to see if they can find an under socket decoupling pad for VTT and compare the losses to the Classified.


later

We all wish this magic bios

Yes for sure

What exactly you need to harmod to achieve 233?
