Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[xzulu]

Ok, I'm now on the F9e I was able to boot with the voltage setting that I used with the F7 Bios.

But I had to start from 3.0 - 3.2 - 3.6 - 3.8Ghz to make it finally boot properly. I couldn't just set it at 213x18 right after the flash to F9e.

Really weird, but I experienced that also on the Asus P6T.

Quick test, just to make sure everything is alright. Will do more testing tom. I'm off to bed.



CHEERS!

Mushkin XP3-15000
Prolimatech Mega Shadow + 2 PF12's

This is my first attempt after building the thing. Not messed with memory timings yet. CPU seems a bit hot. I can boot and enter Win7 at 4515 (21x215) but unstable obviously...

QPI/VTT is at 1.315v. Don't really know what to use for this as i'm new to i7's.

Any suggestions for improvements other then up vcore and pump 4300mhz in ?



Also... any link to a guide or thread with all the bios settings explained and recommended values with this motherboard?

the ud5 has a new bios f9i.

Mate I so ENVY you

My Extreme can't do that, a very good D0 you have there.

hi everyone im really getting annoyed i have my i7 920@4.0ghz and if i run intel burn test on standard it will pass 20 times no problem but if i set it to maximum x16 threds it normaly fails on the second pass and i get a +xxx number at the end of the result
what im i doing wrong is there any way i can get this stable

quick settings
clock ration x20
qpi link auto
bclk 200
performance enhance standard
memory multy 8.0 (1600mhz)
d-ram timing
cas 9
trcd 9

i have a enermax galaxy 1000watt psu
asus gtx 280
ocz reaper 15000 memory 1866mhz @1600mhz

i really dont know what to do can anyone plese help me
ps i know i have put this in a different tread but i didnot find this one at the time sorry guys

any help and i will be verry thankfull

[Lsdmeasap]

Try x17-x18 Uncore, and some more QPI/Vtt and 1.2-1.24 QPI PLL. 1.66 Vdimm wouldn't hurt either

i have been running my i7 920@4.00ghz and i have been running prime 95 for 12 hours (small fft's) can i say its stable or do i need to do more tests its hitting 75c max after the sest
to i need to test it on the blend test or something i cant get intel burn test to run stable using max
but its stable running normal settings

can anyone let me know if im doing it right and if i am stable or not plese

ps i have all green lights on the mobo for cpu/n-brige/memory
does anyone have any idea how long it will last if i keep these clocks

thanks

OMG!!!!

with new ud5 and extreme beta bios is possible to set 1.20v-qpi an run stable with 200blck!!!!!

cpu 4000mhz
uncore 3200mhz
ram 1600mhz
timings 8 8 8 24 2T

v-core= 1.232v real
v-qpi= 1.20v real
v-dram= 1.55v real

[emertX]

Which one is it?

[Andrea deluxe]

F9j for UD5 > http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/...x58ud5.F9j.zip

F9l for Extreme > http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/...ex58ex.F9l.zip

[emertX]

There's also an f9L for the Extreme out!

[Andrea deluxe]

edit

[emertX]

That is my rig:


I'm pissed of, not getting more than 222 bootable, because of the low pcie freq. And I don't want to do the hardmod!

[Andrea deluxe]

now i have edit my post...

new bios are: f9j and f9l


please try F9L on your system, maybe run better....

pS: currently im running f9J on ud5 and running goooooood

[emertX]

Hi Stasio!
Is there any way, to get higher pcie clocks, without hardmodding my board?

[pr@$r1g]

Just a Q guys help me out with bios
For the f9X series .Which one to go with f9a to f9i
Now with f9h , not able to run linx stable



while running linx monitoring temps of my CPU through Core Temp , if it goes above 81c BSOD occurs .In bios CPU vcore voltage was set to 1.281,QPI to 1.36,CPU PLL to 1.600.

But with f7d i was able to do 4300 linx stable the temps were hovering around 89-90.
Is my CPU stepping C0 the problem , should i shift to D0 ??

Just received my ram a week back , but exploiting it now to its full.......

install this: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/...x58ud5.F9j.zip


and try:

200 blck
21 multiplier
ram 2000mhz 9 9 9 28 2T
uncore 4000mhz

v-qpi 1.36v
v-dram 1.66v
v-core (you know)

or:

200 blck
21 multiplier
ram 1600mhz 7 7 7 24 2T
uncore 3200mhz

v-qpi 1.3v
v-dram 1.64v
v-core (you know)

I'm thinking of buying W3520 insted of i7 920 D0 to pair with UD5 and have a few simple questions, since quite a few members here have W3520 + EX58-UD5 combo. According to official site W3520 is supported with F7 or later BIOS.

1) Will Xeon W3520 work with stock BIOS (F3?) UD5 will come with at least to allow flashing to a newer version? Cause i won't have access to i7 920, so i need to make sure i won't run into troubles right out of the box
2) Is it true that W3520 usually OC better and needs less volts than 920 D0? Obviously batches will differ, but i'm talking a bout safe general tend here.

Thanks in advance.
