Gigabyte X58A-UD3R/Extreme Discussion Thread

3RD day running stable , this motherboard amazing with some good ram , I have a stable bios plate right now that Radaja help me work with ,she running fast and low voltages . . . past last night 9 hours of prime blend . . by the weekend see if she can hit 4.5 stable

Thanks Sergio . . . You where right about these super talents memory man
Do they like to zoom zooooom zoom . . . . Hopefully you also be join this
Forum soon with that new setup your prepping definately going to be fun

by the weekend see if she can hit 4.5 stable

goodluck with that, my board seems to run into all kind of boot issues after bclk of 212...hopefully u make it to 4.5, that is where i want to run my chip, ill be looking forward to ur results

Thanks Viper , im trying to make sure that my volts are all on there sweet spot first Vdimm and Vtt s, so when i start adjusting blck , I can start raising vtt from a low setting. . . looks like you same setup , so and advances I make I will share info

[acebmxer]

@ acebmxer...

How much vtt are you running for your 4.5GHz stable o.c. shown in your link ?

1.335 qpi/vtt voltages

Uncore speed is 3870

[sjakie666]

these ar my results for now. 25 runs ITB @5100mb ram used max temp was around 78c for the hottest core.



cpu voltage: normal +1.4375v (resulting in 1.392v unloaded/1.36v load)
vvt: 1.215v
dram: 1.66v

everything else auto/default

just a question though... Why are ppl using rather high ioh volts at low blck speeds?.... i've had 3 mb's 2 cpu's and only needed to raise ioh and such when i was trying to find the max blck...

system:

core xeon w3520 @ 4.2ghz
3x2gb ocz platiunum 2000mhz 8-9-8-2(?) @ 1600mhz 6-8-6-27-1T
gigabyte x58a-ud3r

anyone have an extra board they want to sell for cheap? trn? "wink,wink"
i got an nice cpu on the way and im in need of a x58A-ud3r for cheap.

I'm done cornering the market on Cheap x58a-UD3R's now. I've got exactly how many I need for my project (15.) I got some OK deals on ebay I bought some UD3R's for as low as $165 shipped.

[Blackstare]

What cooling are you guys using for the NB Heatsink? When I was on air cooling temps were ok but now that im on water cooling the NB gets insanely hot.

you sure your project needs 15?maybe 14 will do

I couldn't get to 210 bclock without bumping up the ioh/ich to 1.28/1.32.

I can't even get past 212 bclock at all either, it seems.

I have a 80mm fan blowing at the NB heatsink.. Idle temp is 41c load is about 45-48ish. With out fan it will get up somewere towards like 55c

all three of my boards did 220bclk with only bumping ioh core to 1.12v-1.14v
and i dont know if it was necessary even to do 1.14v,i know hicookie always
has his ioh core and cpu pll at 1.10v for his OC's,i only raised mine because
i was worried that stock or auto might OV like some P45 boards did when you
didnt manually set it like two notches above stock?

[CedricFP]

Do you mean did the IOH/ICH overvolt when I left it on auto to get to 200? I'll have to get back to you.

Also, my QPI/VTT is at 1.35 or so. Should I be raising that to get better BCLK?

I know that my CPU can do 4315 MHZ stable at 1.35 vcore but for some reason I just can't get bclk to get over 212. Even 211 is barely stable.

perhaps lowering my CPU PLL might help. I've taken it down to 1.5 but no change so far.

[sjakie666]

i think 1.12v/1.14v is a sweet spot for this board. helped me with higher ram speeds around 2k. Even verry unstable ram setting would boot at once, lol.

do you mean for IOh/iCH?

[acebmxer]

my full 24/7 settings ICH is at default 1.100v

[CedricFP]

Nice. I guess I won't settle for 200x21, and see if I can get 212x20 stable.

[Lanek]

I do maybe an error, but don't the IOH voltage increase is linked to the number of PCI express cards installed ? ( 1gpu = 1.1 , 2x gpu 1.14-1.15, 3 gpu= 1.20 ) , By default the bios allready increase it when you install 1 or 2 gpu .. ( with 1 5870 it was staying on 1.1 and with 2 it goes to 1.14 , with Trifire ( was testing a card for a friend some days ago ) it goes to 1.2 ( auto ofcourse ) ..

[sjakie666]

i talked about ioh.

@lanek that could be true because i'm running a 4850x2.

on my old dfi.. when i was trying to find max stable blck it was verry important to have the right ioh/ich voltage and also to have some sort of balalnce between them
Eva2000 wrote a piece about it somewhere.(were 200+ bclk)

[ante_ante]

I just got this board and having a question about SATA and SSD. On which port are u using your ssd disc? Do i gain anything from sata 6gb ? And is there any good beta bios to this board ?

woow, nice pet you have radaja , what LLC do you use, if you use it at all?

[radaja]

thanks im using level 1
