Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 Discussion Thread

[Falkentyne]

Well I got my SB 2600k today, and my UD5, and I was just floored. Not only was I getting sub 10 sec superpi 1m at 4 ghz (which was the same mhz I had on my QX9650, except that was 11.7s), but stuff was just much faster...

And I was even GAME STABLE at 5 ghz at 1.4v with HT on. Black Ops was flying... I enabled cpu pll overvoltage just for safety...no idea how it is with it off... superpi 1m was about 7.6sec....

I even *GAINED* overclock on my HD 6970...AND on top of that, my PCP&C fan isnt spinning up as high as it did on my P5WDH with the QX...guess the 1.1 PCIE was holding back my overclock big time...

But what's up with the temps?

I bought a venemous-X, and my temps were like 88C on cores 2 and 3 on prime95 small FFT at 5 ghz...I ended the test after 20-30 seconds or so..., since I figured if it doesn't error out right away on small FTT, I'm stable if i keep the temps lower, and I don't like those temps....

Those temps aren't normal are they?

I wonder why I don't have a "solid" mount on my Venemous-X...anyone know? everything is mounted as perfect as can possibly be....but it seems like the the screw 70lbs clamp just isn't clamping the HS down like it apparently should, so it swivels like a TRUE (no wobbling, though...)

Also, the board sometimes failing to boot, even at STOCK settings, (but user defined voltages, etc) and claiming an overclock error, is sort of annoying.... like if you set 34x100 and manually set a voltage like cpu 1.22v and vtt 1.10v, you may get a double boot and overclock error (or a power down) after a restart, while if everything is "stock/auto" in the bios, that never happens....
