Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 Discussion Thread

Impressive voltage for 5Ghz. Is that correct 1.1v or is there a bug in CPU-z?

[PatRaceTin]

CPUZ read incorrect VCore with Gigabyte 1155 board

[bartman1973]

stasio, when do you sleep man >? You are unreal, like the fairy of Sandy Bridge at like a few forums... Keep up the good work !

yeah + 1 on this one stasio is the man !!!

actually cpuz and aida64 will report weird voltage for gigabyte boards cpuz will usually says 1.1 or less vcore while aida will give you 2.8V vcore ( hahah your chip should had been fried if that is correct ) ...LOL

Hey guys, I just built my system but i have a problem with my memory. I can't set any memory timings at all ?! When i chose X.M.P "profile1" from the mobo it puts the memory to 2133 CL6-6-6-20 2T and that is not my X.M.P. memory profile and it is not stable.... My memory is made for 2133 CL7-10-7 - 27 but i cant not change the timings at all with the F2 bios. I have recently put the F5 BIOS and it is the same thing with it. Can you specify which settings i need to change ? When i leave it on AUTO it puts it on 1333 mhz CL6-6-6 ...

ps; My memory is G.SKILL F3-17066CL7D-4GBPIS


PS: Can you guys link some overclocking guide ? Im not doing something right... When i change the CPU multiplier it automatically change its voltage. I set a voltage in CPU coltage menu where it says [AUTO] i change it to 1.35, restart and nothing changed... Its still at w/e voltage was before... What is going on ?

[TurboDiv]

Disregard my previous post. I sorted the memory...


The problem i have right now is that whenever i get a stable clock - 2 hours of Prime95 + LinX stable and when i decide to shut down the system, it doesn't want to remember its overclock and reverts back to Defautls when i boot it up and i have to set everything again...

ps: BIOS F6a

[famich]

Managed 5GHz with my No1 chip- fully stable is Prime with 1,488 @BIOS
LLC on level 1 - for IBT is sufficient VID 1,46 in BIOS -BIOS Fx

what batch mate?

[flesheatinvirus]

The new bios rocks for my ud5 though I have no dual channel for ram which is strange.

L038a789 got 1 piece more, will test it on the weekend

Slot 1&3 or 2&4 should work

Mr Stasio,

Just looking for confirmation.
Does the new P67 Ud5 bios F6a have the F5x fixes in it (for the higher multi's)?

Hey guys, can you use CPU-Z 1.56.2 on Giga P67A,thanks.

Yes it has

[flesheatinvirus]

Yes that is the order though this board may be tweaked. I have tried a few things now with no boot results in dual mode. It really sucks too because the new F6a bios totally kicks ass for high multi clocking. The PLLv auto increase linked to the CPUv adjustment helps big time to reach the high 50s. My 2600K can now run at 5300 HT on at just 1.475v all day long and go up to 5600 so far. I need to try a few more things regarding the ram issue before considering the number. For me at least this board and chip are simply awesome together and the new bios gave me a huge jump. I will have some pics up in a little bit.

My 2600k will be here tomorrow. Should be an interesting weekend

mine came in today and everything boots great (UD5/2600k), updated to F6a and all is well.
will cinch down the megahalem tomorrow and run some tests!

[flesheatinvirus]

The f6a is the best so far with my board. Your going to love that 2600K and UD5, get your happy face ready.

[OC Maximus]

So F6a is the best bios update at the moment?

Strange issue, i had a similar issue on x58 if i set my ram too tight/fast. It could also be the chips imc.

Is f6 even better than f5 for max multi?

Looks like you are doing real well cant wait to see some results and get home in a few more days to try out f6

[SteveRo]

ok so just stability testing with megahalems before going to the chillers.
could do 48 multi at 1.4v cpuv, needed 1.415 for 50 multi
below is 50 multi testing at 1.415 cpuv bios F6a.
just getting started - all is well so far!

[dinos22]

man either this CPU cooler is crazy nice or you boys have some seriously low ambients

that is very cool

[flesheatinvirus]

My board is still not doing dual channel and after checking the socket for pin damage with a digital mic and not finding anything I would have to say its rma time. However it works fine in single channel so here is some single action I did last night. I think I have a new single card record for 3DM06.

[OC Nub]

Very nice results guys!

Have you ruled out the cpu imc? Try another chip first if you can.

[flesheatinvirus]

I am thinking about grabbing another chip today for that test as I have to take the day off anyway for a appliance repair guy to show up.
