Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[Astennu]

are you using Q-Flash to flash your bios?

Nope. Loaded the F8e on a stick and flashed with the bios methode (at boot press end)

Any D0 owners on a TRUE let me know their idle and load temps....??

[Infa]

Hey there
thank you soo much for the help
have tried setting the uncore to 24+1 along with ram volts all the way up to 1.66v / QPI at 1.40and that didnt get me stable either..
i have a few doubts about the sub timings for the ram..
i set 8-8-8-21 @ 2T manually for each channel.. and XMP is OFF. XMP on makes no difference to stability for me...
Have you left all the other advanced DRAM settings on auto ?


would love it if someone with the Dominator CL8 kit to post their ram sub timings or tell me if they left the following settings on auto and still got stable @ 1600mhz under OCCT .

Basically do i have to adjust any of the following values to get stable @ 1600 mhz for the Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D Kit ?
I have a feeling its these Sub timings that are preventing me from running the ram stable @ 1600 mhz.


##Channel A Advanced Timing Control##
tRC .................................?
tRRD ..................................?
tWTR .....................................?
tWR ........................................?
tWTP .......................................?
tWL ........................................ ?
tRFC .......................................?
tRTP .......................................?
tFAW .....................................?
Command Rate (CMD) ................2

##Channel A /B /C Misc Timing Control##
Round Trip Latency ...................?

##Channel A /B /C Turn-Around Settings##
...........................................??



Thanks again for all the help guys
i want to run my ram at full speed and i cant seem to do that

I actually have the 3GB kit.. will return to you in a while with my settings, shouldnt matter so much 3 or 6gb, not anymore tough.

EDIT: took a screen of my timings,turnaround i have to go to bios..cannot do that right now..
have Extreme, on the mem turbo.

yes it will fit , i have Auzen X-Fi™ Forte 7.1 which is longer than creative and it fit very fine

ATM around 38/34/36/35 room temp 22.5c

191*21 1.344 (idle voltage) but with C1E on so 2292MHz

Below is my setup :

I Can run @ 200 MHz Blck using 18x multiplier @ 3.6GHz no issues what so ever , prime stable , Intel Burn test stable .
But Cant touch 4.00 GHz , ie 20 x multiplier @ 4.00 GHz. Tried CPU voltages upto 1.4V I keep running into 124 BSOD when i start prime.
I have also tried uping my QPI from 1.335 to .1.55V and the result is the same BSOD.

Do you guys think my CPU is maxed out and doesnt like 4.00 GHz and beyond? My Temps on Load are between 65 - 70 C so looks like I have sufficient cooling.

You can try to enable Intel Turbo so you get the 21x multi with BCLK 191 and you are @ 4GHz. it is more stable than 20x200 and much easy

[Jakethesnake011]

Did you try bringing up the Vtt? I know the Vtt has a lot to do with those BSOD's when you are runnign 4 ghz plus. I also have the 124 BSO probelm when trying to get to 4.3FGhz and beyond. Those are holding me back a lot and keeping me from runnign 3dmark vantage at 4.3 and 4.4.

[nforce_infinity]

Yup tried increasing VTT / QPI from 1.335 to .1.55V . No GO

[Jakethesnake011]

Maybe you memory ratio and Uncore ratio? Trying to overclock your RAM and your CPU at the same time and maybe your RAM is causing you to BSOD. I dont know sicne I have many problems with the 124 BSOD's as you are getting. But it happens when I am trying to get 4.3 and 4.4+

[nforce_infinity]

My Uncore ratio is correct 2x of mem multiplier . My memory is tested and stable at 1600 MHz , just cant get CPU to be stable at x20 @ 200 Bclk = 4GHz , I am stable at x 19 @ 200 Blck = 3.8 Ghz as well..... Looks like my CPU has maxed out , 4.00 Ghz doesnt seem to be a possibility with this sample

[Astennu]

At boot when you press End, it will open the Q-Flash

Havent realy looked at the title of the screen. But it was not the windows tool thats for sure.

But Q Flash should work fine right ?

Actually it´s the best method to update BIOS.
@Bios is the one through Windows.



Hey guys, 3.2 Ghz here with 160 BCLK. Will post complete settings later. Do you think I can overclock more or not (remember, I have a C0 and stock cooler).

[phsinc1]

Nope. Loaded the F8e on a stick and flashed with the bios methode (at boot press end)

I have read there is an earlier bios which has OC bug and this bug stays even if you update your bios, the only solution to fix it, is to use FLASHSPI from DOS

[mudkip]

Anyone tried overclocking with UD5 / F8E bios yet?

It's as good as F8B?

[Jakethesnake011]

The best results I have had is with the F8D's. the F8E's did not work out well for me.

[cesariuth]

Hello guys...I have one Gigabyte UD3R and i think that the BIOS can be equal to UD5P.
My question is, can i pass the 222 BCLK moving only the PCIE frecuency?
I move the frecuency up to 110mhz and the mobo doesn't boot

Thanks

[Jakethesnake011]

So far my best lower voltage 4.0 OC, about 40 minutes Linx stable, I might be able to lower Vcore a tad bit more

That could be it. I might give it a shot.

but only need high frecuency of PCIe?
no damage de VGA card?

[Dahmer]

Took the time to run some benches and take a screenshot of my current (final?) overclock :
idle vcore = 1.296 V
load = 1.280 V

Temps showing are with my case fans set to low speed -> less airflow -> few degrees hotter

I have a i7 920 D0 Batch 3849A OCed to 4ghz 190x21 on a Gigabyte UD4P F9c bios with 1.23V and 1.395 QPI/VTT, Memory is at 1520mhz at 8-8-8-24 1T. I cant get my system stable under that 1.395 QPI/VTT, is anyone else having troubles with this motherboard and getting 4ghz stable with lower QPI/VTT?

Would like some input and want to lower my QPI/VTT.

I'm currently running stock voltages on everything except vCore which is set to 1.2250V [BIOS] and my memory at 1.64V. And this is with my Xeon clocked to 4137MHz.
