Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

I first had the s-flex 1900rpm fans on a push pull config with my TRUE and they worked very well. Sicne then I moved to 2 ultra kaze 3000rpm fans. They cool much better and have much better static pressure due to the 38mm deep fan shroud. They are loud but work very well. I would recommend lapping the TRUE and pressure modding it, at least use a washer to put under the mounting bracket to push the TRUE down onto the chip. Without the pressure mod the heatsink can spin around easily on top of the processor IHS. But I would try and get 38mm thick fans, and then maybe slower speeds if you want quiet fans.

A question, does the UD5 have any points on the board where I can plug my mulitmeter into to read the voltages of the Vcore and IOH and other components. I did not see any laid out like some boards where they are labeled, but if anyone knows where you can take a read from let me know.

There isn't a dedicated section of the UD5 where you can take readings with a multimeter like the Asus RIIE has, but maybe someone here knows where about on the mobo you could find these readings...

About the fans, I only plan on using one fan on my TRUE to start with.. I might add another one at some point though...

I would like to know also for my UD4P.

+1 - GB should add this feature....especially with all this 'Carbon footprint' talk

+1 also, after seeing DFI's board could do this I got mad at myself for being impatient and buying this board right away.

+1, also wish that these GB motherboards could do this.
