BCLK 235 / PCIe 130 with GIGABYTE MB

[dinos22]

from what hicookie told me it shouldnt really do anything if you stuff up the mod

88 under cold is cold bug but if on air.......you might be in trouble...usually thats a bad sign when it starts throwing that error

[vanovich]

its on air ,soo

My Results with this mod and a UD4P, promising for sure! Haven't seemd to get much higher, but could just be that I have reached the max on these CPU's and or I need Sub Zero Cooling. I am on water and temps seemed fine, but I do see the frozen CPU's going much further.

Seems to me that higher PCIE Freq does not help after a certain point. I think maybe 104-110 is the nice range to be in. Higher did not help, at least for me anyway, and seemed like maybe 104-106 was the best range for my setup.

I did try 120 without any major improvements, but I still have yet to be able to put much time into it.

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

Where is the mod for EX58-Extreme and what BIOS version did you use (the BIOS version in this thread is for UD5 I think) ?
I can't find them (bios and mod)

[Toolius]

hello
id love it if someone could PM me the directions/beta bios for the UD5 on how to do this as well please
an stuck at the 222 bclk wall myself on the UD5
would really appreciate it
thank you loads in advance guys .

[Infa]

you wouldnt mind sharing it? im all eager to try new things

[PiLsY]

HiCookie, you mention the mod is un-needed for UD3R rev1.6 - I have rev1.0 so I need to do it? Desperate to get over 200BCLK stable, can only bench to 202 no matter multi/voltage combinations.

Memory will also not go over 1630 (D9JNL iirc) and needs stupid volts to get there at 8x compared to 10x multi (where it does 1875mhz c7 same voltage). However cant do over 197 stable with 10x mem multi. Uncore good to 3800+.

Sound like bios and mod will help or look elsewhere for what's causing the limit?

Thanks

[Lsdmeasap]

The Mod is not needed for UD3R rev. 1.6, but the special BIOS may be? Or you can use SetFSB to raise PCIE if the BIOS will not allow you, which is all the special BIOS's do is allow PCIE to be set over 103

[thebanik]

give me your email, i will send the mod guide and BIOS to you.

If I can also get the bios and the mod guide please, thanks....

[LionRed]

Running x58-extreme on Phase Change...would very much appreciate it,if someone could pm me the mod guide and where to get the bios for the mb I have. Stuck at the 222bclk wall.

[LionRed]

Houston......we have lift off



I never want to solder a spec of sand again.

[hicookie]

yesterday, i tried 1 UD5 and 1 DS4, i think i got a nice 975 for bclk
air cooling 238MHz stable on UD5, and 235MHz on DS4. even use same CPU
the NB margin also affects the BCLK.

[dinos22]

nice CPU for sure man
cpu can have a big effect on BCLK and NB speed for sure

[Hondacity]

what bios are you guys using? i can run 4.8ghz on my classy but only 4.2ghz on this extreme58. any tips on the bios too?

[thebanik]

hicookie/dinos can I have the UD5 bios plz??? Got the mod, one hand on the solder another on the usb stick.......

[Kean]

Guys, this mod IS in this thread.
Just search for it.

[ME4ME]

this mod works just great!

Yeap, it sure does

I think I need a D0 CPU now

[LionRed]

920 D0....Managed to get 231bclk....should there be more in the tank ....guys?

Well I just completely f****d my board doing this.

Removed the resistor, went to re-solder in the slot below but could not get it to stick, now I have lost any metal to metal contact where the solder was for both the original spot and where it was meant to go. I got a hot glue gun and put it back in to place where it was originally. One PCI-e lane is dead and I can only boot with 1 stick of RAM. lol... that will teach me.

I wonder how far into the RMA process it will get before being rejected.

I would just ask them..how much would they charge to repair it...might be 50 bucks or something.

[[200]]

That's my plan, I cannot see it being too much to be honest.

I was looking at the resistor I was meant to pop and thinking damn that's small... I guess me having the shakes doesn't help much either.

[johnksss]

so you guys really don't like the classified huh....?

[Leeghoofd]

I don't like the Classified's price, that's for sure... most boards seem to require a hard mod and are right on the Classies heels now, at almost half the price... for benching I would buy a classified, for daily use absolutely not...

[johnksss]

i had a gigabyte first, but thought the classified was suppose to be better, so i sold my giga and got a classy....shoot, my giga was like 320 bucks when i bought it...what is considered cheap??lol
