Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[Sparda]

ok so LinX gives a windows error in Windows 7 after about 2 runs.

Any suggestions please on what I should try ?

Here are settings.

Please give advice on any changes. Thanks!

Those settings look fine for 200x20 except the vcore a little bit high for D0. Try playing with the vcore for the linx and up the vdimm a notch or two.. I use prime blend to find my vtt/qpi. Usually if not enough vtt/qpi or vdimm it will fail in large ftt in prime blend. Most of the time it depend on the uncore speed. If it still fail try play with the IOH Core or QPI PLL or CPU PLL if there any effect.

edit: No wonder. I missed the x21 multi. Well hopefully the temperature isnt an issue.
