    Yeah it is dual bios. How does that work exactly and what does it mean if it goes to the second bios chip? Does it mean the first one is corrupted or something?

    Yes, that's what it means. A BIOS has a checksum stored in it that is being compared with a checksum calculated on the fly upon POSTing. That way the board's BIOS' integrity is being verified.

    However that does not always mean the first BIOS is REALLY corrupted if the checksums don't match. Usually it just means the system was very unstable and thus generated a wrong checksum. I've had such fallbacks on my ASUS P6T Del. V2, but since there's no such secondary BIOS, it would rather ask me to insert a USB stick/CDROM with a BIOS image file to restore it.

    What could be causing cold boot issue?
    Sometime when I fresh start PC, it will fail to post and shows the OC failure message. I just go in bios and save and exit and after it boots fine.
    Anyone experienced same problem? what could be the cause? The PC is stable in windows, linx, prime and gaming.

    Happens to me a few time. I had more of it with F6, slightly better with F7. Probably a bios issue.

    I read that EuP can cause that so I enabled it, also I bumped 1 notch more on vcore and qpi/vtt ... will report back if it fix the post issue.
    What QPI/VTT you are using @ 200bclkx21?

    I doubt that EuP could help. What bios do you use? Try disabling USB keyboard/mouse support.

    Congr, good choice. Is it rev 2 or rev1? Please post your experience when you put it under run.

    yep,and the giant air HS
    no i only have the one 3849B018 right now,testing it out and looking for more
    in the meantime.so far its pretty good but not as good as my first 3949B018 one.

    EDIT:got to say though these gigabyte boards are so consistent from board to board
    and model to model.i put in my settings for 21x200@4200 1600 6-6-6-20 1t from my
    ud3r and worked perfectly.same thing with my three ud3r's and three different cpu's.
    its easy to help others also with settings.the ud5 seems to be very solid so far

    Quick question...
    is there anyway to control the fans from the MB fan headers?
    I have 1 fan in my system, and i can still hear it.
    when my machine is idle i want it to shut off, but when my machine goes into 100% CPU load it would be nice that it turned on.

    Hard to beat the deals from microcenter on these i7 cpu's. My best clocking i7 also happens to be the cheapest, 179.00 for an i7-920 at microcenter several months ago, sorry to see them go away.

    And you can only buy one per household. Maybe by a small chance they will get them one more time. I will check every day now.

    Any mods for this board?

    my closest microcenter doesn't really care for the one per household, as I was able to buy three 930's a few months ago.
