Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

I am getting really frustrated with this rig...

I can get it IBT stable 20 passes with the CPU @ 4GHz and the mem multi @ 6x for 1200MHz, but if I try to set it to 8x mem multi for 1600MHz as soon as I start IBT the system resets itself everytime...

I want to be able to run my RAM @ 1600MHz not 1200!!!

I will post up my BIOS settings tommorow to show you what I have it set to for 4GHz...

Given the recent issues with Corsair RAM, I cant help but think that this could be your problem......

Not only Corsair, this issue is only for modules with Elpida Hyper ICs. Dominator's 1600MHz are not affected.

OK, I have managed to get into Vista @ 4.4GHz on my rig, although my ram is only running @ 1260MHz...

I have tried all evening to get it running @ 1600, but it just isn't happening for me at all...

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i only have two slots working??

Oh, and in order for me to get into Windows, I had to loosen the ram timings up to 9-9-9-24-2T... I tried 8-8-8-24-2T but it would BSOD straight after the Vista loading bar finished...

I have already talked with Corsair a few weeks ago, and they did tell me I could get my modules replaced.. though I will wait and see what happens with the new mobo when it comes tommorow...

Here is my CPU-Z validation for 4.4GHz...



I am just going to try 10 passes of IBT with this o/c..
