[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Sweet, i am glad that you are happy and i can't wait to see it under water....


i'm waiting to see some of that x3380 action

I have been busy with this




I got a great deal on this chip and it is a beast, however i am still stuck on the 20X uncore multiplier and I am on the latest beta bios. Any suggestions?

[pr@$r1g]

I ordered one last week ,lets see which rev. i will receive ........

[MacClipper]

what does FA mean ?

did you spot any differences ?

[MacClipper]

afaik, FA = not retail release yet.

Can't find a pic of the actual mobo online but the manual is there for downloading.

[Dahaka]

No one with this mobo and Dry Ice session?

230+ BCLK yet?

[MacClipper]

thx stasio, didn't occur to check the .my website and Google didn't turn it up either.

Hi chew*, is version 1.x, i don't know exactly, is available on a local storage, maybe i can ask son friend of my if he can go to ask and see the version.

Can you post tour results please . I'm selling my Classi to test another board and this one is very interesting, price/overclockability.

Thanks in advance

Well tbh I never really beat it up at daily user stability. But here's some work I did on water and on DI and or Ln2 with it.

LN2



Water





Got to dig around my ftp site for some more. I know i have more results on water somewhere.

EXCELENT!!!! thank you very much chew* .

I think this mobo will be my next shop :.

On Classi i got 5ghz validation and superpi 1m run but i have CBB and CB so there is nothing more to do with that evga MB.

Dry ice will be the "highest" xtreme overclocking that i will get, no LN2 on Chile

Regards from Chile

BIOS FA is first official release.
UD5

UD3R

so anybody know the difference between the rev 1 and rev 2 UD3R?

[pr@$r1g]

by looking at these i can tell

Rev.2 UD3R is having 12 phase ,where Rev.1 was having only 8

Rev.2 UD5 is having 24 phase ,where Rev.1 was having only 12

Rev.2 UD5 is having 24 phase ,where Rev.1 was having only 12

nice. anything else ?

Also how to identify them on newegg? do they list rev 1 or 2 ?

[stasio]

Rev.2 UD5 is having 16 phase only.

[pr@$r1g]

oh got it ........ with increased phase will UD3R OC better ?

Rev.1 UD3R scores better than UD7 ,bench's at bit-tech when OCed

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/mot...board-review/5

[PatRaceTin]

only "A" UD3R & UD7 sell here

[Plan.B]

For those without memory info in their sigs: what 3x2Gb kits do you run in your Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R? Thanks

[Dahaka]

Hi chew* and all you guys, anyone have experience ocing this mobo with v1.0?.

Thanks again

i did this with my W3540 last night




I can pass 20 passes of IBT at 4600 with HT off, but I really want to get 4.5 HT on and it is proving to be a .

The only gripe I have with this board is the stuck uncore multiplier issue for the 6 core Xeon chips.

Other than that this board is the for $200.

[Dahaka]

Thanks for the ss , it will be nice see 225 bclk on air if you can do that

Had another little fiddle today, and almost got CPU stability at 4GHz (211x19) on 1.25vcore and 1.34vtt, even booted at 222x19 (4.2GHz) but with stock cooling, stress testing was a no-go. Backed off to 211x19 for 4GHz and after a couple more tweaks, I'm hoping to return to work with a 'closer to stable' machine tomorrow morning. The one thing I noticed when running ram bandwidth everest benches is that it scored very low - i.e ~6000MB/s on read/write/copy. A little unfamiliar with what could be happening, but I'm guessing uncore multi might be out - that possibly correct? HT is on btw.
I'll post some screenies up if all goes well tomorrow. It seems like I've got a good board & chip which is gagging to go under water!
