So you're saying we should just go back to f3g?

So you're saying we should just go back to f3g?

I go back to F3H since yesterday.
Looks like my cpu does't really like to play with multilevel.

[Falkentyne]

I went back to f3g, and ran 45 min of prime then stopped, back at 1.450v and LLC1 (1.416-1.404v load). I'll put it at 1.455v if I need to (might be 1.428-1.416v load).

Didn't like the erratic voltage, even though I was fine at 1.440v and LLC6.

Haha, I know what you mean............

There is modified BIOS a few pages back (And on Hwbot), with B3 BIOS that has board ID Changed to B2, so you can flash B2 board to B3, then reflash both BIOS with official B3 BIOSes. If you want it, and can't find it let me know and I'll point it out for you.

Sorry, don't mean to interrupt the flow but I have to ask..........

I have the B2 board. What is the title of the modified bios and do i simply start @BIOS and load it in? Then I just use normal flash for future bioses?

I Don't want to corrupt the bios with too much numptiness.

[newhit]

much better than my MIVE B3. It is recycled from my B2 board which is rev 1.02. it came back after 3 weeks together with TIM residue left on heatsink some more. plus a bent system panel connector pins.

I can relate to that and worse.

I ordered a MIVE B3 and got a well used old board (dust between heatsink vains and heatsink scratches on back) with the B3 sticker across two PCIe16 connectors. I simply removed my UD7 and slotted the MIVE in, same PSU, ram, CPU and connections plus the extra two molex connectors that worked on my UD7 (inside box for cooling) and powered up and................DOA!

UD7 simply slotted back in......fired up no problem.

Tried various component combo's, and bios installs and CMOS clears, resets, no go. MIVE RMA'ed .

Not a good start

hypers don't play well hope u have some bbse or psc

i got gskills 2200 cas7 psc good for 2300+ on p55
and some mushkin 1600 cas6 redline bbse

[andressergio]

What levels of this new LLC you guys think is like good all LLC1 ?

[Falkentyne]

I don't know
I know the UD4 has a bug where setting 1.20 VTT gives 1.78 vcore on F3.
And the UD5/7 we have has erratic voltage swings with this LLC settings (no idea about 1.20 VTT bug, NOT going to find out either).

I went back to f3g for now, until everything is fixed...

[andressergio]

yeah seems we all agree of this lets ask GIGABYTE to solve this, the 10 levels is cute but need to be at least exact, as now you like my case i was stable on old F8f and cant find a match of volts for it on this bios nor F8

CPU-Z 1.57.1

ftp://ftp.cpuid.com/cpu-z/cpu-z_1.57.1-setup-en.exe

-fix bug for Gigabyte B3 boards.
-added "Dual Channels" notification.

[sin0822]

awesome, anyways I think they will just leave you guys with LLC 3 levels. There is more tweaking that can be done, but its very hard to please everyone, so I don't think you'll see this again. Its just a tiny glimpse of whatt type of LLC levels they can incorporate. Maybe you guys shoudl just do a Vdroop mod lol and satisfy yourselves LOL. pin FB to remote voltage sense with 50k pot set to 20k would do the trick.

You know what I would love to see? Just a vdroop mod done already on the board with a pot on teh board, LLC is comthing for advanced users, and I think a dedicated physical pot on a board that comes with it shiped would be a great idea, hint hint. Of course i am wierd.

i like that idea tooo !!! i modded all my cards and some mobos but just too lazy now

stasio did you already notify GB about the 1.78v bug?

So please beware anyone who has JUST flashed BIOS F3, please upon the first boot after flash, go into the BIOS and load optimized defaults and exit and save. If you do not do this, and you set a 1.2v qpi/vtt or higher, the board will set your VCORE to 1.78v.

thanks sin i always do that, damn 1,78

[Eldonko]

Yikes, thanks, good to know. Flashed F3 on the weekend.

Yea,they send me new beta GA-P67A-UD7-B3 - F4a.

any more fixes stasio on this beta ?

thanks

[stasio]

Hmm,LLC any level+DVID still bug.
Still testing.

[Falkentyne]

I think I'll skip this round if it comes out for UD5, until a brave person can see if the LLC erratic wildness (randomly overshoot more than it should at light load, undershoot at full) is fixed or not... (don't care about DVID, but I DO care if my CPU suddenly gets 1.78v through it...)

[Lsdmeasap]

1.7V only occurs via improper BIOS flashing or usage (IE Old profiles with new BIOS, or Not starting with Optimized Defaults after the flash then save/apply/reboot)

Many of the users here already practice proper procedures so no need to worry about 1.7x Vcore, unless you do the above
