This board has huge issues, it works great one day & the next it won't work at all.
This bios booting crap is garbage, boot after boot...

On another note... Can boot with one gtx580 @ 5gig np when I install 2nd gtx580 in sli won't boot at all...

Oh really

ive been benching with both UD5 and UD7 in SLI without any issues

all the OC settings I have i can do any time i want also

Adding some GTX580 SLI results






Havent checked if efficiency is up to scratch with all of them they "look" ok heh

dinos22 onething I noticed your sli setup is running one GTX580 pci 16x slot running @ 8x 2.0.
I have mine running both at 16x 2.0, I'm going to move one card to the same setup you have.

I'll post back.

Dinos you have only 1 HDD hooked up. I wonder if it might tbe SATA 3 issue. I got 3 HDDS, 1 CD-ROM + 1 intel SSD as a OS drive on the SATA 3 port + PCI card and it has problems at POST when overclocked.

thats a UD5 mate, it is running 8x + 8x


can you please explain what you mean by your screenshots i dont really understand?!?

After my benching session last night i've notived that i can't keep my CPU stable at my previous stable Speeds/vcore.

I had the CPU @ 4.5Ghz 1.275Vcore (F7e) and it was as stable as a rock. 9 hours prime + Linx stable. Now it won't even get into windows BSOD 0x0000000124 with the same settings. I guess this is a sign that unless i want a new chip i have to take it easy for a while

Another strange thing is i got some red dots (small artifacts, Nothing major just along the waters edge) in Starcraft 2 last night as well as the game and sound freezing/stuttering for a few seconds. I was playing with the driver settings while benching earlier in the ngiht, so i hope a fresh install will clean this up. Anyway i closed the game and ran furmark to test for artifacts, but nothing came up. Which is strange.

I'm a bit put off benching now, i can afford new hardware, but it's a little early to be opening my wallett again

Hmm a chip shouldn't degrade so badly at low volts that you can't get into windows...
What is your BIOS setting for the vcore? Was that 1.275v a CPU-Z report?

Is LLC enabled?

If LLC is disabled, you may be trying to get into windows at as low as 1.2v....
In order for a chip to go from being linx/prime stable to a bsod just trying to get into windows, implies at least a 0.05v loss in voltage stability..

It was with LLC level 1.

I've been benchmarking @ 5.5Ghz 1.555v although the systems isn't at those settings for long. so i guess that can contribute to CPU degredation . It's possible it's the bios though, i'm not really sure.

I tried with 4.5Ghz @ 1.285 last night and it also crashed with the same BSOD 0x0000124. When i have been testing new overclocks i have been testing various BIOS. I've been flashing the new BIOS with Q-Flash, maybe it's better to use @Bios.

Just succes, in reality, i had install the last one, but without unistall the older ( from CD ).. uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it have work .

thanks Johnny ( i was start to think im completely drunk for don't be able flash this board after many years of using gigabyte boards lol )

( nb: it's crazy how thoses 2600K clock ... 50 multi .... all voltage in auto ( outside DDR@1.66V ) boot... no problem ( i have not test if it's stable ofc but im impressed )

Guys you shouldnt be running the intel drives on Sata 6gb anyways, their 3gbs drives..
