Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[freshy]

hey i just flashed to f8f bios for ud5 and i am using 19x cpu multi but i have turbo on but im still only getting a 19x multi when booted into windows , why arnt i getting my 21x multi ?

i been stuffing around with it and if i pick x20 multi i get turbo and 21x multi, if i pick x19 multi i dont get turbo and stuck with x19 multi im still on my i7 920 CO , i was using bios f4k before and even just using x19 multi with turbo it gave me x21 multi , i got a i7 920 DO batch 3849B018 on its way, but i thought id flash to f8f as i got a ocz blade 6gb 2000mhz kit and was having some issues with f4k after i installed the memory, but im sure memory is ok because i already ran memtest for 2 hours @ 2000mhz

so whats the story with f8f dont we get turbo if we dont pick x20 multi ?

edit...fook me ! i just tried a few different bios versions over last few hours, i tried bios f6e by qflash and still i wasnt getting 21x multi with turbo on if the 19x multi was set, so i went back to qflash back to an earlyer bios f4k and qflash told me that it was incorrect bios image so i tried another bios version, same thing over and over again "incorrect bios image", so i start to panic and think its f*&^$d- RMA time !

so i was trying to corrupt the bios so i can boot from the back up bios but it wouldnt , it would still log into windows just wouldnt let me flash bios'

anyway i thought last resort and used @bios to update over internet in windows and it worked, so im on f7 now, went back into bios checked to see if qflash worked and it did

not only that now i oc'd and the 21x multi is working with the 19x multi and turbo on.... so wtf ?
