@Kingleo Very nice systems!

thank you sir.
have a coolit vantage cooler coming to replace the frio. The frio works great but cant get the 200mm side fan on with it and i want to push some air between the gpu's.

care to share some details on your settings for your 4.5Ghz 24/7?

Here 's my result. Not sure why this chips need a lot of juice??? L042A696 + watercool (F7a bios)

very nice wong what volts did you set in bios and with vdroop level one or two, i have noticed at 5.3 mine needs 1.52 plus level 2 vdroop, but 5.4 even with 1.62 plus vdroop level two it booted in once but wasn't stable my temps are similar to yours mine is watercool but i was scared of whacking any more volts in it at that but maybe mines like yours and just needs more , also did your have the cpu pll overvoltage on auto or enabled

These are the voltages I have been using for 4.5, all ref's set to auto, LLC1, and the bclk is raised to 1002 to make it read an even 4500mhz in windows.

In a few days I'll post what i have running...
Just dumped Asus RampageIII & so far I'm real happy with UD7.

Wow just noticed bios has some bad bugs.

[owikh84]

All the bioses released by Gaygay up till today are very slow
Im still stuck at 1866c7 ram with whatever bios never get it booted at 2133c8.

[bluc]

Getting one of these boards in next few days. Going to attempt my first raid array and wondering how you get the raid drivers out of the exe file from the gigabyte site. I have run the exe then gone looking but dont know which files I need, cant find a drivers folder(also tried uniextract winrar and). First time using raid sorry for the noobie question cheers.

[Chrono Detector]

Is anybody getting this with their UD7? Sometimes booting the board your RAM will revert back to 1333Mhz when set higher and the system says it has experienced a bad overclock? I find that annoying.

If your installing windows 7 you dont need any raid drivers to install the OS.

Have you tried a different kit of ram? I havent had any issues with 2133 on 3 kits, Dominator gt's at 2133 8 8 8, HyperX at 2133 8 8 8, and Gskill pi's at 2133 7 10 7. Have only tested stability on the GSkill's, the other 2 kits just a few benches.

So using hardware raid windows 7 will detect it during installation?

Sorry not been paying attention I take it CPU-Z reads correct now on the UD7?

Very nice low low volt 4/8 5GHz there, thats got to be the best I've seen

Version 1.56.2 of CPUZ yes.

Thanks, strange it works on UD7 but not UD5.

The CPUID website has a "Sandy Bridge Reviewer Kit" that includes it.

I have had the same experience with my Corsair GT 2133mhz 2 x 2gb running at 2133mhz. I assume the higher memory setting's and ram voltage of
1,65v is considered to be an overclock?

After a Bios problem or forced restart it revert's back to default of 1333 mhz.

assume a revised bios will ensure this problem does not occur anymore.

At this moment my processor is set at 4200mhz / ram 2133mhz, today Im
going to test some higher multiplyer settings.
