Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

Hmmm, I am completely lost guys, can someone who uses Dominator 1600MHz RAM, or Corsair XMS3 1333MHz give me their exact RAM timings in their BIOS please so that I can try that...

I just tried leaving the sub-timings on default except for tRC (41) and tRFC (88) and again the system reboot itself, and continues to do so...

What else could be causing this problems, I mean, it is at stock frequency, and it isn't stable?!?! WTF is that all about???

My first ever Intel build, and boy am I regretting it... surely it is a faulty piece of hardware that is causing these problems???

I have already went and bought another set of RAM and PSU solely for testing purposes, and I am just about to buy another mobo!!!!

This is a pi$$ take if you ask me...

Can anyone help me out here??

If someone could help me out with a BIOS profile for running this machine at stock it would be much appreciated, although in saying that, I personally don't think I will ever get this machine stable, as I am fairly confident the motherboard is flaky.. I have never had a DIMM slot pack in on me, and then start working again after giving it a gentle wiggle....

Also, with all the various hardware configs I have tested everything seems to be pointing towards the mobo...

What else could be causing these types of problems, does anyone have any suggestions?
