I don't have the same issue, but i should tell you that OCing GB P67 boards is much different than OCing asrock/asus boards.

Yes, of course Gigabyte is different than ASRock. But that's not the issue.

You should disable turbo, as well as ratio change in OS. Disable power saving features, and just set a ratio for the CPU.

I already did that (UD7 is my 3rd p67-board ). That didn't help at all. The only thing that helped was upping vcore and multiplier. Everything else remained the same - and it worked.

IDK how much voltage fluctuation is b/c i haven't received my B3 yet, but I thought they drastically improved LLC on the B3 boards, at least they did for the UD4. I don't thin they have yet for the UD7.

With P67 Fatal1ty I had 5 LLC-options. I choosed Level II where my vcore dropped about 0.01 volts under load. I set 1.415 in bios and got 1.416 idle and 1.408 load. That worked perfectly.

With UD7 when I set 1.425 volt in bios I got 1.428 volt idle (LLC Level I) and 1.392 load. If I set LLC Level II (1.425 volt in bios is still the same) I get 1.440 idle and 1.452 load.

For me this is a bad situation. Either vcore drops nearly 0.04 volts with LLC 1 or it raises more than 0.01 volt with LLC 2. Gigabyte can do better for sure.



No offense, I like UD7. But there are a few quirks that shouldn't be on such a premium priced board.



I already discussed my findings with my contact over at Gigabyte and he forwarded it to the hq. Maybe and hopefully there is something that can be done...

You need to check the vcore with a DMM before complaining that LLC1 isn't working like you want it to. Several people who checked the UD4, UD5 and UD7 found that the boards overvolt from the sensor readings. And the UD4 overvolts as much as 0.03v; Bullet took a reading from his B3 UD4. If the UD7 does the same thing, then your vcore is almost right where it needs to be.
