Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[nipper575]

My room ambient was about 18'c, but the air flow through my case is massive given the 200mm side fan blowing onto the board, the 140 & 120mm fans blowing across it and a 120mm fan blowing onto the back of the motherboard......gotta love the Thermatake Spedo AP :P

Obviously, it gets a tad warmer when the sun is out, but not too much

Will try and measure the load temps at some point today.

Thanks.

Well now I'm puzzled, I have a 230mm fan blowing on my motherboard (HAF 932), yet your idle temps are a good 10'c lower than mine? You even have a similar graphics card. Obviously the extra fans are doing their part also in your case.

What does your GPU idle at, I'm still thinking that the radiant heat comming off this 260 is what is bringing my NB temps up. I'm not even sure if it's anything to worry about as I can't seem to find out what the normal and max operating temps for it are. I have prefect stability so I guess I have nothing to worry about, but I would like to know for sure.

Hi, new to the forums,

While i was waiting for confirmation, i read thru this thread. I am also owner of UD5 board. Downloaded the latest beta BIOS F8f.

Currently running at 3.8GHz stable (with turbo on), but anything higher giving me stability issues (BSOD 124). I already tried to bump cpu voltage to 1.3V, vtt to 1.34V and ram to 1.64, still BSODing in Prime.

On a side note, since i got my new board, i'v got one annoying issue with monitor (t240). When i power up or restart, it always search fo signal and blinking between HDMI, Analog and after it gets to digital, the screen turn on - by that time, the post is already somewhere at checking RAID array - well, unless i dont experience slow boot, which has been aparently another issue with UD5.

I can't be of too much help as my OC is relatively tame, but I often see people upping the cpu pll voltage. Maybe that is holding you back? Also make sure that your uncore multi is set to at least half of your RAM multi for stability.
