***Unofficial GA-X58A-UD5/UD7* rev 2.0* Discussion Thread

[Sam_oslo]

Good to see everybody else is taking about cross-flashing.

My good old GB UD7 rev.1 is running with a X5650. It's doing fine, but they have stopped updating BIOS, apparently. Is it possible to cross-flash the GB UD7 rev.1 to a rev.2 BIOS?

[acebmxer]

dMITIj GOOC is only for UD5/UD7rev 2.0 and UD9 rev 1.0

what ever gigabyte undid after this bios for the UD5 rev2.0 the clocking sucks.

Any one else who has ran this bios have problems overclocking with new bios?

maybe you can cross ud7 rev1 bios....

New BIOS is out.

I am currently running @ approx 1.408v, and I get the very occasional BSOD, error code xxxxxx101.

Could I safely bump it up another .00625v, or more, or should I increase the bclk a little ?? or ??

Using DVID, & LLC2, as well.

Cheers

You can give it as much volts as you want as long as temps are good and it's stable.
I would give it a bump or two.

Beware of the New Beta BIOS "Fe2" for the UD5 Board!!!! I tried the Fe2 BIOS in my UD5 Rev. 2.0 board and it wrecked the entire POST process, result in a red screen with a bunch of machine code errors listed, all of which made absolutely no sense. It took many, many attempts at rebooting to finally get the old BIOS to restore from the Dual-BIOS feature on the UD5 board. Do NOT use the Fe2 BIOS unless you want a disaster. I see now that Gigabyte has removed the Fe2 Beta BIOS from its web site. But if anyone had previously downloaded it - trash it immediately - don't use it!!! Best regards. TheBeagle

i think maybe they are trying to implement the new 3TB+

[acebmxer]

Yes there was issue with AHCI mode.

New BIOS is out.

[topboy]

Could someone please help me?

I'm thinking of buying this board but before I do I wanted to know what version firmware the Intel RAID controller is running & what version the SATA 3 firmware is running?

Thank

[sin0822]

the SATA6G firmware is always top of the line on GB boards and always updates with new BIOSes. i remember the UD5 rev 2.0 i had had firmware that wasn't even released yet.

You might have more luck at tweaktown forums, or PM LSDMEASAP on these forums.

Does anyone have the conversion chart for these BSOD Error Codes:

0x00000124
(0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA80156FB028, 0x00000000BA000000, 0x0000000000400405)

Thanks for any valid help that can be offered. TheBeagle

Here are the codes that I have:

0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT...have to test to see which one it is
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)

[TheBeagle]

Thanks DTR. I was running my i7-980X at 160 x 27 and it was bombing out about halfway through decoding a blu-ray movie. So I upped the Vcore to 1.40v and set the QPI at 1.34v. That seemed to do the trick. Many thanks for the reply posting. TheBeagle

I have my 930 at 4Ghz easy - 1.28v ... but it will NOT go higher, not for hell. With the x6 multiplier for the Ram, I can pretty much keep that out of the equation.

Well, to be exact, I can get to 4.2Ghz, but temps are +90c within seconds of Prime95 /HT enabled - but it takes 1.375 vcore to do that (1.35 @ 4.1Ghz). And this is watercooled. Tried reseating the heatsink several times thinking that could be it.

Kinda given up now and sticking with the 4.0Ghz.

disable HT and and push it to 4.5ghz

[DTR]

disable HT and and push it to 4.5ghz

Interesting question came to mind.

Which overall (gaming) would be 'better' 4.5Ghz HT off /4 cores -vs- 4.0Ghz HT on/ 4 cores + 4 virtual cores??

I know HT only gives 10-15% advantage, so I'm thinking 4.5Ghz is the way to go. What say ye all?

Depends on the game played and what chip you are using. In general I would have to say the 4.5 HT off will be more beneficial. Do some benchmarks and see.

[acebmxer]

Got bored and decided to push my system and see what it could do. Keep in mind these were very quick runs so some screens I didnt not save or did not have cpu-z open. So here you go enjoy. I know I did.



3dmark Vantage run at 4725MHz
P20600 3DMarks
3dmark Vantage 4725MHz



4830.2 MHz





Finally topped out at 4876.2 MHz

[sin0822]

excellent work, the X58A-UD5 rev 2.0 chugging away i see!

[acebmxer]

Still going strong... Would not boot up past 232 bclk

But still i was liking the results.

[acebmxer]

[burt123]

Hey guys,

So has anyone tested these new UEFI BIOS on a UD7 v2..eg FD8 ??

Just wondering if all the O/C features & settings are still there ???

Cheers

[Lsdmeasap]

BIOS mod's, flash at your own risk and enjoy

Change log included, but main change everyone cares about is to V. 10.5.0.916
