i took the giga plate off and there´s a fan over see my pic

Yup! Thanks for pointing that out.

I already ordered the board. So I should have it in a day or two.

@andressergio

Thanks!!! I just found out that the local distro ran out of stocks of the board.

I have to wait a week or two for stocks to arrive.

What revision would you suggest?

Thanks!

well i think you will get only rev 2, it has some more phases wich is good

[xzulu]

Actually the local distro called up my regualr retail store yesterday and said they have one Rev. 1.0 remaining. I didn't bother to get get it. I'm just afraid it might be an old stock.

I was informed that the distro is expecting a shipment of board from Taiwan by next week. All are Rev. 2.0.

I need some help with my memory. Right now i´m sitting on FE bios. My first problem was that i couldn´t boot in to windows with mem on 2000mhz, now i finally broke that and it´s running fine. But the problem now is that when i try to set manuall timings it just wont but, but when i set it back to auto it runs fine. Anyone know what could cause the problem?

Which bios do u think is the best?

[In-Fluence]

F7G has been working well for me, although I've not really tried for anything over 1600 for RAM. I found I needed an uncomfortable amount of vtt for high ram speeds, but I guess that depends on your chip's IMC and if you're either benching, or going for stability.

[xzulu]

Hey guys, I noticed that most of you are using the Rev. 1.0.

Im still undecided which to get. We have 2 local distributors of Gigabyte where I'm located. One distributor has the Rev 1.0 and the other distributor has no stocks of any, but I was informed that the Rev. 2.0 will be arriving by the 20th of this month.

Should I get the Rev. 1.0 or just be patient and wait till the Rev. 2.0 be available?

Cheers!

If you remember my post regarding 4600MHz LinX stable on air a few pages back, I got this in a case of despair by undervolting CPU PLL to 1.4v and QPI PLL to 1.0v.

Now and just for fun, I undervolted almost every single voltage on this board and went for a run at 4500MHz



I guess I can try and lower them some more, this was just the first try!

Nicely done!

I noticed lowering CPU PLL let's me lower my vcore. I'm still on the EVGA E760, can't wait to get my hands on this board. The suspense is killing me!

yes i noticed that xeons run on low low PLL mine is on 1,6 but didnt try less vcore, IOH im on 1,3 boosts mi perf on GFX on the SLI and its needed, QPI PLL im on 1,2

cheers and nice volts !

both are good mate mine is 1.0 and does awesome

[stasio]

BIOS FF2 is out.
(rev.2.0)

[OnDborder]

Any comparison oc results/bench's between the ver.1 and ver.2?
Which of the 2 boards is the better do ya think?
I have the ver.1 but haven't put a strain on it and looking for a good bench'n board(on h20) to play with.

[fredeb]

I've read somewhere power phases on rev2 are improved - can't remember where . Received my rev.2 board this morning , waiting for E5620 to arrive tomorrow - I hope it works !

Will update ASAP .

[pumero]

i'm playing around with a rev. 2.0 board for quite a while now and so far i'm not very happy with it.
even the old dx58so is giving me better results with the W3520 plus it is a real b*tch with my 920 C0 ES and unwilling to overclock it at all.

let's see if a new BIOS can improve things.

[acebmxer]

The only bios my boad/cpu/ram like is the GOOD OC bios... Anything newer then that one requires some crazzy voltage to get stable or will never get stable.... FD was released for ud5 2.0 (Fix QPI frequency wrong in BIOS setup M.I.T. page) I doubt this will work with my settup but will try when I get home and get a chance.

[Raiden]

What's the best bios for the revision 2.0?

Im curently without the FE bios but it's giving me some problems

[acebmxer]

Tried FD bios for ud5 2.0 and still sucks for Overclocking.... System will not boot with settings that work for 4.5ghz. So back to GOOC bios.. Ill just keep updating raid rom.

[pumero]

I have enough of this board and it will end up in a stock settings machine at works.
Tried BIOS versions FC, FD and FE but things are still disappointing, especially when comparing the results with the ones I can achieve with the old Smackover.

What UD5 bios revision is the GOOC based on?

[acebmxer]

What UD5 bios revision is the GOOC based on?

I think its based off of FB5 or FC5 somewhere in there.

[OnDborder]

What is the "GOOD OC bios"?
