Turbo, are your issues fixed? What did you change?

also never trust software readouts please, use a DMM to check REAL voltage!

[C-N]

Hooked up my new OCZ monster and its been awesome so far.

Congrats on the beast PSU Turbo

[TurboDiv]

PSU good but I still got the overclocked failed screen... LOL

I replaced everything so far except the CPU. Still waiting for my Sandy certified memories tho. These 1333mhz are still P55 certified so there is still small hope...

[autoct]

Yes, you have to shut down the board with the PSU switch while holding the case power button before it shuts down itself. One second is rather fast...
Should be a way to short the primary bios, though. Those pins are really small...probably could use a mini screwdriver.

It did not work, I guess, I don't have enough time, also tryed shorting pin again but no luck

[TurboDiv]

Im also going to replace my video card soon. So really, the only thing connected to the mobo that was not replaced was my DVD writer and my hard disks...

[dinos22]

if you want to boot of backup bios you need to short pin 6 & 7 on primary bios. Those are middle pins on the opposite side of where the white market is (white market usually points to pin1)

[Falkentyne]

Hope that works for autoCT. Should work fine as long as his backup isn't damaged.

[AMD_Freak]

well my PC rebooted this AM after almost 2 weeks running no "Overclocked failed" or 3 boot loop it only cycled 1 time never had that happen before. booted up with same oc with LLC1 on

[autoct]

Thank you all for helping but I RMA the board yesterday

[TurboDiv]

I noticed that i get a high pitched noise upon boot for like 1 second, when this happens than i get the overclock failed screen. Im guessing this is the PSU, because with the old PSU i never got that noise, just the screen upon boot...

new beta CPUz for GBT boards should read vcore better

i thought you had the black and yellow themed cpuz...lol

thanks still anyways woot

[dinos22]

hahaha that would be so gangsta

[firebane]

Just tried to use this board in a built and man is it EVER warped. Its warped so bad you can't use the PS/2 port and the two top USB ports at ALL.

[Falkentyne]

That's impossible. Check the mounting holes. A board can't be warped that badly unless it's not mounted correctly. Any slight warping would be fixed once in the case. This is user error here, unless the I/O panel itself is somehow not properly on the board. Did you put it correctly through the I/O shield?

[firebane]

All standoffs are proper as per case and all secured properly as well.

I've built many machines and never had a problem. I pulled the board out and the board itself is SEVERELY warped.

You can't use the top two usb ports and the only way to lower them down is by pushing on the ps2 port on the inside of the case.

[nijel]

Case?

[Falkentyne]

Is it the board itself that's warped or bad soldering of the I/O panel?
(like, it looks like the bottom left side of the panel is higher than the right side)

Because I know there is a screwhole JUST below that PS/2 port. And if that screw hole is completely down, the port should be flush (even with a warped board), since it's right above the screwhole. You can't have a warp there...it would have to be the panel itself is too high or warped), otherwise you would have difficulties just getting the screw flush with the screwhole.

Do you see what I mean?I'd love to see a pic of that board outside the case...I'm at my brain's limits....UNLESS the warp exists in the half inch between the screwhole and the edge of the board?

So I'm guessing the screwhole isn't even flush on that side...

hey men getting back my ud5 today. What is the fav bios so far?

[C-N]

I like f5x with the b2 board and currently on f3g the b3 bios with my b2 board for me its a little funky setting voltages & ahci makes it post so fast its a bit tricky getting in bios but it runs just fine.

Btw awesome chip & hyper runs in the 32m thread

[dinos22]

im gonna switch to UD5 board again, probably my fav board out of all of them

you using some B3 bios? performance similar?

[C-N]

Top board mate for me the b3 bios on my b2 board is as good as all the b2 bios's. Havent pushed to the max but 5/5.5g performance looks just fine.

[TurboDiv]

I think that high pitched alarm noise that comes up for 1 second on boot was because of my video card. The 4 pin molex was loose(probly didint plugged it firmly when replacing PSUs) and the card was talking to me.


PS; Overclcok failed screens still continuing...

[Falkentyne]

Can you set your ram to 13.33 manually and see if it happens?
And did you get your new RAM yet? I thought you got it...

thankyou seems the hypers REALLY come alive on ud5. 1.18vCCIO 1.72vDIMM
No wazza and 3dOS only lsc and maxmem
