Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

@Johnny, thanks for posting those BIOS screens man, but I have already tried having my BIOS set like this and it was a no go!!!

I really don't think a lot of you guys are fully understanding how much things I have tried with this rig to get it stable...

I've spent around 1 month, every single day (except when the CPU and mobo was being RMA'd) testing this rig with as many different hardware configurations as I possibly could with the gear I have around the house, and as for BIOS settings, I have probably spent more time in the BIOS than I have in Windows since I have had this rig!!!

I have tried absolutely everything that I can think of... everything gives me the EXACT same results... RAM slots dying, and then coming back to life again, system rebooting, BSOD's, freezes, there is a dodgy piece of hardware that is causing these issues IMO...

If anyone can think of anything else that I can try with this POS rig, it would be much appreciated guys...

try a different brand PSU like corsair HX series maybe

Dude, I have already bought another PSU just for testing purposes!!!

I originally had the Hiper Type M 630w unit, but everyone on OcUK forums were telling me that it was the Hiper that was giving me these problems, so I went out like a dumb ass and bought the Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 850w and all the same problems were still present!!!!

I refuse to spend anymore money on this system until I find out what the cause of these issues are!!!!

I have another Ud5 coming at the end of this week hopefully, so if I set that board up and it works fine, I will know that it is the mobo...

Why wouldn't my Be Quiet! PSU be any good for this system?

I have seen several other people using the 750w version of the Dark Power Pro on their i7 rigs...

So far in total for everything to do with this build I have spent close to £2000 and it doesnt even work!!!!

i understand
are you sure that you have done exactly as i mentioned

change ONLY vcore > XMP profile and bus speed to something reasonable and NOTHING else

and still cant get it stable
