Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 Discussion Thread

[OC Maximus]

LOL. My chip doesn't have the jiggahurtz but its still a good chip to learn on till I can get my hands on another.

[flesheatinvirus]

I got lucky with this one so here we go with some fresh test pics. New board working great on f6c. All ram pics are the new Gskill F3-17000CL7 ripjaws. Nothing optimised just quick set latency to what you see and ran with it, very nice ram. All quick tests where ran at 5500mhz or higher.

Cheers for the block suggestions OCM that Koolance is a sick looking piece of kit.... I'll look into that as I want to re use my 1/2 id tube (I have loads of it) & I would want straight barbs.

FEV.... what can I say

Great kit of RAM, very interesting more even bandwidth performance & even better latency..... who needs hypers!!!!

What was the vdimm for 6.9.6?

What will they run on 1.65v

Nice to see you milking a few more MHz out of the chip she's a beauty

[OC Nub]

Geat job!!!

I gotta get another chip, screens like this are killing me.

Thanks C-N . Yup about right. I think I went 1.7-1.72 but it would certainly do with less. After last nights play time I bought another set

Thanks OC Nub. If I run into another similar chip before you its yours.

[flesheatinvirus]

C-N in XMP Profile1 set at 165v they can do the same 6-9-6-24 beyond 1075.

[flesheatinvirus]

Here ya go C-N. They can run even faster yet at stock voltage but I just picked 1086 for a quick test for ya.

[TurboDiv]

The only difference from C-N's BIOS script was that my memories were set as an EXPERT on the timings part so i had to go and set both channels equally. Now i have set it to QUICK and it passed 2 reboots with no problems. I truly hope this is the issue.

My specs are:

2600K - L040B208
Megahalems Rev.B + Scythe S-Flex 1600rpm
G.Skill Pi series 2133mhz 7-10-7-27 @ 1.65v
MSI GeForce GTX 480
Gigabyte P67A-UD5
Win 7 ultimate x64 w/o SP1
Silverstone Olympia OP750

BIOS F6A - main and back up are F6A.

here is the thread for the ASUS cold boot bug. - Thread


Update: Passed a 3rd tougher cold boot which had the machine sitting for 10 minutes powered off. Man i think this is it. Well see if it will fire up properly when i get back from work in 8 hours - im excited now !

UD5 users,try this:

CPU-Z 1.56.3 Beta

http://www.fileden.com/files/2010/4/.../cpuz_1563.zip

[flesheatinvirus]

Thanks stasio, everything is working good with correct voltage reading now.

[scccm]

just wanted to share that undervolting CPUPLL lowered my required voltage significantly .. i have no idea why but i needed about 0.06v less to get 5.0ghz stable...

this is 1.34v in bios and load at about 1.39v with LLC lvl 1 on

[OC Maximus]

Amazing stuff flesheatinvirus

Not only do you have a good chip but your rams are flying

Great work.

I've been fighting my rams all day in spi 32m. Have grave issues running 2133 T1 and had to drop them down to 1866 T1.

Still have some tweaking left to do.

Good!

flesheatinvirus,nice runs and latency.
New Ripjaws-X rocks!!

How exactly did you undervolt the PLL? Did you have overvolt PLL enabled? Or did you disable that AND also set the PLL voltage in the settings at the same time? (no sensor for pll...)

[scccm]

yep overvolt pll enabled and cpupll voltage set to 1.76v

[Falkentyne]

I wonder what pll voltage your chip was getting by doing that....im going to take a guess that "Auto" sets it at 1.80, and Overvoltage sets it at 1.90, so 1.76+overvoltage=1.86? ...would be nice if there were a sensor....

good to hear, i use quick even when i bench eek heheh

interesting

thanks for sharing

[Lsdmeasap]

So you guys saying "Quick" is helping, and "Expert" is causing issues?

[dinos22]

expert is fine as long as you know what you're doing in subtimings and not setting something wrong, they have to be thoroughly tested and uinless you're eva2000 your patience level to do it properly could probably be wearing out real quick lol

[Lsdmeasap]

Ahh ok, ya I know what I'm doing

I just thought maybe they mentioned it like expert itself was causing issues even if someone used all auto, in comparison to quick not causing issues when using auto.

I always use expert, and suggest it, auto or not. That way when people have failed channels they notice it right away due to the NA or - setting in the failed channel.

[dinos22]

haha no i didnt mean you specifically lol just a general YOU hehehe

[TurboDiv]

Just got home and fired it up. It loaded fine, no problems whatsoever. This must be some kind of a record for me to load up fine after 8 hours being shut off with an overclock too !

ps; Now im off to experiment with ram timings. Firs thing i did was to set the Turbo function(in memory menu) ! If it fires up tomorrow i think ill celebrate.
