Gigabyte X58A-UD3R/Extreme Discussion Thread

[s0lid]

My current 24/7 settings:


Stability tested? 26hours and 44mins of WCG and gaming.

WCing:
Phobya 1080mm
EK Supreme HF
DCC + with plexitank top.

Need to get IC Perihelion somewhere this zalman paste isn't good at all

I'll look forward getting 4.2-4.4GHzish clocks next week

Damn guys, i miss so much this mobo and i can't have one any more

[andressergio]

I'm messing about overclocking my 3870x2's & trying to find the sweet spot for the IOH Core voltage. If I set auto in BIOS I get 1.3~1.4v ish so thought I'd go check the x58 datasheet http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/320838.pdf as I thought 1.1v was the default & 1.4v looks like a lot.

I think page 211 table 15-11 sheet 1 & 2 are what I'm looking for but cant find any maximum voltage or absolute maximum can anyone point me in the right direction or is there simply no maximum!!!

.

its proved that the more IOH the more performance and gain on fps specially if you are using cross or SLI or multigpu, here's my sweetspot and 24/7

been trying a lot this lasts months as i was having problems with audio and the SLI, mobo was undervolting VTT and needed IOH and PCI and ICH stock...

here i took for ya this is with LLC1 20 passes of linx posted on the club

grats mate

just a word Xeons loves lower PLL 1,5 or less

and pump it with no HT

No way, HT gives a nice PPD boost on WCG

Ye that’s what im finding, basically the more I give it the better & more consistent benchmarks become & that even goes for non 3D tests such as LinX, Super PI, Everest etc...... the difference is tiny but its there.

I've pulled one of the cards out for the time being but will try again once I swap out the PSU with my 1200W one.... maybe the PSU is struggling

me and my friends running multi gpu on the giga X58A UD3R or X58 UD3R had a hard time finding the sweet spot for nice OC on CPU + tight mem timmings + nice SLI or dual GPU OC i dont think its your PSU im runing a Corsair HX850 and my friends antec 1200

good like my friend

na pump da beotch to 4515 no ht and nice mem timmings and you will see

I'VE FINALLY DONE IT!!

i7 920 @ 4600 (21x219) HT OFF 1.472v on air, no tricks and with case closed.

I guess i can lower the vcore, 1.472v was just to be sure it would be enough. The vcore reported easytune is wrong, eist is enabled so vcore is dynamic.

The trick? Look at the qpi pll voltage!

Wish i could try with HT ON but the temps rise too much.

oh ! nice to join us mate, the 760 its a nice mobo for I7 what happened ?

pleaseeee take that assuscks avatar off

[andressergio]

well as i couldnt give ma self a Xmas present i just had a very good deal on this amazing case will move my watercooler from the HAF922 to HAFX

some pics to you guys and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YA



start to take out what i dont need



plenty of space....



and i love this part you can take off the cables from the front panel wich i dont need for ex audio, usb3. firewire etc, just left esata and normal usb and leds, so no mess on cables



a black monsta





will move all this to there



cheeerss

Quick update, the score inconsistency I was having running crossfire & needing loads of IOH Core turned out to be one of my old 3870x2's playing up.

I have now sold this board & only discovered this on my new board.... card has now lost a core.

Sold the E760 for extra cash to upgrade my kids rig.

Updated avatar.... LOL!

Good choice in getting the HAF X!

I myself am still using my HAF 932

Did any of you try re-applying the TIM for the IOH? What's the temp difference from stock?

Thanks!
