Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[Rage]

I've had this mobo for a bit longer than usual... Yeah I get the upgrade itch, usually not for a valid reason...I just get it... I've had a thing for the P6X58D Premium since before it was even released, but sadly my UD5 is still going strong. Sucks, I have no reason to upgrade.

So dependable....

Same here, have been thinking about replacing my GA-EX58-Extreme. Though it does seem to be acting cranky of late (looking for an reason ).. I've had my 920 C0 stable at 4.2 a while back but down clocked it last summer due to room temps.. this last winter I tried pushing it back up and it wouldn't stay fully stably at anything past 3.8 .. Got a 980x reciently and it's been cranky on that board.. can't say i've put a lot of time into OC'ing it but had it up to 200x19 pass IBT max settings 10pass, OCCT 1hr and prime for about 4hrs.. then next day it started blue screening , so I dropped it back down a bit till I get more time. (also had it "stable" at 160x27 for a while too...then started acting up again) Temps stayed below 60c load.

Also have lost a couple drives on that system.. just had a spinpoint 1T drive die after a couple weeks..
