Here is the 8GB kit of that (I think). http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...acture=G.Skill

I was thinking about ordering these but am not sure what to really get for Sandy yet. I was thinking of doing a 2x4GB kit that way 16GB is the next upgrade

Ugotd8 .... got this from maxxx which he actually got from C-N hehehe press alt F12 when you see the boot up screen but you need to disable the quickboot first in the bios both my ud5 and ud7 now comes with f5x ( ud5 ) and f6x( ud7 ) for both BIOS hehehe

Thnks Bartman, I had found that info and was trying to no avail....

Until I used a PS2 keyboard. :-)

Sorted.

wondering what aftermarket air coolers will fit this board. Will the xigmatek dark knight fit the board? says its for 775/1155/1156/1366 on site.I am getting the gskill ripjaw ram so has high heatsink. Anyone know if it will fit?

Anything which works on the current p55/1366 should be compatible with 1155 seeming as 1156/1155 same socket size..

I'd stick with 4gb personally, Seen quite a few tests people testing 8gb then 16gb, The more ram they add the higher the CAS and timings are..

[bartman1973]

I have tried the stock cooler of core i3 530- no issue, Thermalright Venomous X - No issue, Prolimatech Megashadow - No issue ... so meaning 11156 should be 100% compatible

Make sure you are using ver 2.10 B10.1201.1 of @BIOS. The link to it is somewhere in this thread.

[Polypenko]

managed to update the Bios to F6, used @bios but initially I went on
line to the server (this does not work)

Later I updated the Bios File stored on my Pc, Flash went okay.

also my USB keyboard works in the intial post stage.

thanks for all you feedback and help.

[1Day]

No I have flashed my bios countless times doing testing for the boards using the @bios downloaded from the link that Stasio posted it in one of his replies. Second page of something like that.

It works in all OS - tested.

[bartman1973]

Polypenko ... am using win7 64 bit ultimate as well and @BIOS works for me. I just downloaded that in gigabyte website since the @BIOS that came with the board is not working. After that I flashed my board to F4 on the UD7 then to F6x and works fine, also tried flashing from F2 bios to F5x on my UD5 and also working fine . Can you explain what do you mean by doesnt work? will it freeze in win7? will it just exit? You used the update BIOS from file option in @BIOS right?

I am asking since the old version of @BIOS will just freeze when reading the BIOS file from my USB. I was able to resolve that by removing the old @BIOS and installing the one I downloaded in giga website

Stasio am still happy with the f5x and f6x ...will probably try the new bios later this week heheh But thanks for keeping us posted here for new BIOS release

[Polypenko]

see my reply 136 it now works I made a stupid error by trying to upload via @Bios on line.

now I updated to bios F6 via @bios by using the bios file stored on my pc.

tks.

What are NB/Mosfet temps like on this board? Is there any reason to go for water cooling on the MB with so much of the OC weight being shifted on to the CPU package?

+1 ... interested in mobo temperatures

[skeyo]

F6 doesn't let me boot in win with multiplier more than 49 :'(

[maxxx]

F6 doesn't let me boot in win with multiplier more than 49 :'(

Tried F6 as well. Same result as skeyo. For F6x, I think am at a wall. Greater than 51 always gives me "4E". Prolly the limit of the processor?

Same here cant boot win7 with x50 internal PLL enabled

[sin0822]

I can't boot at all with CPu PLL overvoltage, but I have a D1 stepper yea @BIOS from their website works the one from my disc didn't work either. Thanks for the BIOS stasio, and thanks for that way to flash the backup BIOS.

The heatsinks get hot when I have SLI GTX570 but that is with watercooling and no airmovment around the socket area, with a heatsink fan temps are pretty low.

[Chrono Detector]

Can somebody link me to the F6 BIOS version that actually works? Trying to flash it but it gives me the stupid message "Invalid BIOS Image", I already downloaded it several times at different sources, same error.

Are you using @Bios and have u got the latest version?

[Chrono Detector]

I had to update the BIOS through @BIOS, now it works fine.

My i7 2600 only does 3.4Ghz on Turbo mode, is this normal or what? Because back then when I had an i7 860 it did like 3.5Ghz, and on Intel's site it says the 2600 does up to 3.8Ghz on Turbo.

[Vittra]

My 2600K only does a 100mhz jump from 3.4ghz to 3.5ghz with turbo on stock settings with the UD7. I don't think it's actually set to hit 3.8ghz by default.

Does anyone know if Gigabyte plans to tweak the voltage options for ram? I'm running a G.Skill ECO 2x4GB kit which is rated for 1.35V, but I'm forced to choose 1.36V for the time being as the options are 1.34 or 1.36. Not a big deal but curious.
