***Unofficial GA-X58A-UD5/UD7* rev 2.0* Discussion Thread

[Bullu$]

there is a qpi slow mode bug with the whole series of board, the multiplier is not set correctly, and so the qpi slow mode is wayyyy too slow and it does not work, you have to work with the x36 and theoretical limit of 8.8ghz qpi, sucks until the engineers can fix it. my 930 has a top blck of 220, but its due to my chip, lsdmeasap has been much higher than that, this board is designed to go way above 220, it has a pci-e mod done to it that earlier boards do not have. And if you have a 980x can't you just up the multiplier? why would qpi be a big issue for you? you dont need to push anywhere next to 200blck.

I know, but I just want to test the cpu/board for its max bclck.

you guys are right lean mode doesn't work. ill take it up

Tnx.

QPI Slow (X24) is working for Bloomfield CPU's now, for sure on Rev 1.0 as I've tested it myself.

Just got word last week that they may be getting it going for Gulftown soon as well, it will be x32 for that CPU. As of now it does not work for 980X.

And ya these boards can do some massive Bclks, not sure about this revision as I've only used 1.0, but I'm sure this one can knock the Bclks out there too.

I can boot at 245-246 Bclk on water with low voltage, so depending on your CPU you should be able to get a fairly high Bclk



Best I've been able to hit is 246.61, but that is with x36 QPI (Hopefully soon they will have QPI Slow fixed for Gulftown, cause this CPU has a ton more Bclk left in it for sure)

Tnx, for the heads up. I'm looking forward for the (beta)-bios for qpi @ slow-mode.

Get it "stable"at 225...with qpi @ auto
