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

Yeah our system may be different but it helps it seeing what other peoples system is doing. I had trouble posting my system past 161 bclock on the 25 multi till I changed the ram sub timings. If you notice we are also using different qpi and uncore. Why do you have the pci-e clock drive up so high? Another thing when it comes to bclock for me I can post at 185 if I disable the stata 3 ports in the bios. One thing I notice is your auto subtimings are different from the what cpu tweaker lists, maybe you could trying tightening those in the bios for even more performance? Have you tried doing a 32M superpi? I'm curious as to high fast your setup can do it.


edit: are you using the newer Linpack files with intel burm in test and Linx? these ones http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...pack-download/

"Why do you have the pci-e clock drive up so high?" ??? I don't know. That value was set by the board (800,900,0,0). What is your value? I have only been doing X58 for about a month now so I don't know much. What should it be for a Gulftown hexacore?

For qpi, I just use x36; for uncore, I use 2x memory - 1 setting. It seems to give my tight memory some room to run. It also requires a higher vcore & qpi to stabilize. But that's Ok, I am not clocking for epeen; I use it 24/7.

"One thing I notice is your auto subtimings are different from the what cpu tweaker lists, maybe you could trying tightening those in the bios for even more performance?" The value I have in brackets beside the auto in the mem subtimings are the ones that the board uses when it is in Turbo and Extreme mode. The board is operating in "standard" mode and the "auto" setting is creating the timings that you see in cpu tweaker - they just don't show up in the bios.

I suppose I could tweak the sub timings some more, but I still haven't finished with some of the other settings.


With my daily driver setting of 4.5Ghz.


And yes, I am using the 10.2.6.015 binaries in Linx.
