BCLK 235 / PCIe 130 with GIGABYTE MB

[dinos22]

any results guys

common

oh i spoke to a mate and he managed to lose that little resistor first time round like me hahahaha....lucky i have a board graveyard in my bench room to scavenge some more

[tosunermc]

0402 resistor so small and tiny one

lost and found
lost and found
lost
removed 3 resistor from graphic card the color is white but 1k its ok

I dont want to remember that day

[Jaction]

how about EX58-UD3R?

PCI-E ?

[hicookie]

how about EX58-UD3R?

PCI-E ?

EX58 UD3R version 1.6 no need mod and new bios, just lift pcie clk
then you will fly bclk

color is not white, i soldered its other side view to pcb

[ME4ME]

yeah, this isn't one of those easy mods
I was close to loose mine too, but found it some minutes later.

now the hard thing is to solder it back..

[dinos22]

LOL hicookie was laughing at me on MSN while i was doing this

it looks hard but its actually a pretty easy mod

to remove it you need to have a tiny flat screw driver....just physically push it and it will pop off..........then place it on the new spot carefully, use the little screwdriver to hold it in place from the top .... just hold it on top while you put solder on one side.....when the solder grabs you can lift the little screwdiver and do the other side

easy as pie

and i am a total noob at soldiering

[carpo93]

i won an ud4p at the gigabyte contest guess and win, so i'll test it:asd:

[ME4ME]

finnaly its done

it really is a terrible job to do this mod, but like you sad Dinos, eventually when you find out how to do it, its not that hard..

next up: Bclock testing

[Benny Lodewijk]

My result after done the mod...CPU cooled by dry ice and 3 x HD4890 on CFX mode.

Set 106 MHz on PCIe

Boot 234 MHz BCLK from BIOS


3D Benchmark all @ 232 BCLK x 21, HT On









SuperPI 32M @ 234 BCLK



Super PI 1M @ 235 BCLK



CPU-Z Validation @ 237 BCLK

I think it will be higher with LN2, maybe 5 - 10 MHz more on BCLK

[dinos22]

very nice benny

[miahallen]

Nice work Benny

[Booj]

Great numbers Benny

I'm getting someone else to do the mod for me. I took one look at the size of those resistors and knew i'd butcher it I'll have some W3540 & cascade action next week. can't wait

CAN EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE vmode IN EXTREME X58

THANKS

[dmelsie]

nice one we havent reach that high clocks

[blossa]

Anyone tested with other values of the resistor? Results?

[Booj]

The mod is working well here. At least now it looks like I can max out my W3540 on cascade. It sucked big time to be stuck on 222bclk. Now I don't think there's any need to buy a Classified

It very nearly did a 32m run at this clock. There should be more in it with some tweaking. Sub 7m 32m is very close

[dinos22]

you need to be on tripple channel for fast Pi

[Booj]

you need to be on tripple channel for fast Pi

I know, I'm the newest member of the dead elpida hyper club... 1 stick gone

[[DRACO]]

do you explain the extreme vmode x58?
ahy what that soldier?

[Monstru]

Ok, here's my story for now. Boy I need some LN2

Testbed

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 - F8X Bios + mod
Intel Core i7 920 D0
V0rt3x Ghetto SS (~-20oC)
3x2GB OCZ DDR3 1600CL7
IDE 40GB Maxtor
OCZ EliteXStreme 1000W
Room temp ~29oC




SuperPI 32M - 230BCLK x 21 = 4844MHz (ignore the bad time, bad OS)



SuperPI 1M - 237 BCLK x 21 = 4974MHz




CPU-Z Validation - 238 BCLK x 21 = 4999 MHz (also have a 5GHz one but it is marked red by CPU-Z)


RAM OC - CPU-Z Validation - DDR3 2400 9-9-9-24 1T

[blossa]

I have started to test EX58-Extreme with air cooling.

1. As I saw that someone found that 129MHz PCIe was the best on his board, I tried that. :p The board booted and was pretty stable. However, I backed down to 115MHz and atm I find that more stable. Before mod I was not able to boot above 103MHz PCIe.

2. I am still not able to go higher than ~222MHz BCLK.

Conclusion: I guess I have to improve my soldering skills? :p

[ME4ME]

did you use the new bios?
without the bios.. you won't pass that 222bclock wall.

If you already have, make sure you use 10x memory multiplier and 20x uncore multiplier. Those defenitly work best

[blossa]

yep, I use the new BIOS. I also have uncore set to 20x.

I don't think I can use 10x for memory as my RAMs max out... I use some old D9GTR.

[vanovich]

i tried doing the mod, and now i get error 88 on the display.trust my luck. probably didnt do the mod good enough.anyone know whatt error 88 is.
