Nice chip there splave, will it prime at that vcore.

[Falkentyne]

He's not using 1.57.1. That voltage is his VTT
There have been a few working cpu-z 1.57.1 links floating around.

Yah too easy splave

[flesheatinvirus]

Ah that would make sense. My L040B208 is still kickin at 1.375 prime stable at 5G.

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

UD5 Rocks my friend, waiting on you getting medieval on its ass mate, you got a killer chip & hypers that run & skills that = pure danger smash it

[flesheatinvirus]

No doubt, that why where here.

[C-N]

No doubt, that why where here.

TBH I ordered a UD7 but the shop fcuked up & I ended up witha 5..... I didnt need a 7 just there was only like £40 between boards & I figured wth. As luck would have it the UD5 is rocking & can easily max all my kit out so once again fait is on my side great board

[flesheatinvirus]

Yup I almost did the same thing. Money is not a problem and I usually grab the best hardware but decided on the 5 and never looked back. I am still using my older one and never turned it in for the replacement as this board can max every chip without issue. I have three liquid systems in this room alone and have the hardware for at least two more full builds if and when I choose. Great board indeed.

[C-N]

You not wrong buddy you got some killer 3d scores with the UD5..... cant be bad

[firebane]

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...

I know its crazy! I'll take a pic tomorrow when I'm at work again and post it here for folks to see.

Just to thank-you guys for the beta bios help...the f3g bios has fixed the cold boot issues on my ud5 b3....thanks for ths bios and the help guys...It has been booting fine for two weeks now

gj..!

[firebane]

Here is the side shot of the board.. Even when I place ALL the screws into this thing.. I STILL have to physically push the board down to align the PS2/USB ports on this thing.. its THAT warped.

[cheapseats]

Got some cheap sticks to see what psc was like
the 8-10 clocking is pretty good but looks like only F7E bios can do high enough bclk.
it boots straight from 100 to 108.3 (108.1) although my sticks have tRCD 10 problems before that.
think it was the last B2 beta
same setup max bclk 105.7-9 on other bios, tested with the B3 bioses as well but not good for bclk here.


4x2GB Exceleram Speedslider

close to tRCD 10 clocking limit.

1.50 Aida for consistency with earlier stuff




not sure if someone already posted this bug on mem multi.
i got it a couple of times trying to boot to higher bclk straight from 100.
on both b2/b3 bios. is there a secret way to run 24x on GB ?

Didn't notice any BCLK limits with any of the BIOS's, think the max I've done is 107.X only thing is some BIOS's are a bit rebooty to get higher BCLK's to catch... sometimes if say 105 fails try 104.9 or 105.1 & it works!!

Nice bit of work & info comparing the Hypers to PSC over in the 2D Madness thread

[Splave]

^ my findings are exactly the same.

PS. Thanks C-N for the bios suggestion, chip booted 5827 for the first time on any board last night!

[Jp7]

what is the trick for Hyper? mine doesn't work, max 1650/1700MHz,
Dominator GT 1866 & UD5 B3 bios F3G

[Splave]

Rams just need to be GOOD hyper and they run easy. I have 2 kits that dont do 2000 and one that does 2200 it just has to be good sticks

cheers mate

on the bclk, i mean how far it will go before i get completely stuck @ OC recovery or it just wipes cmos.
i get a full 2mhz higher on F7E before any problem with booting

[TurboDiv]

OK so, with my 4.9 Ghz 24/7 settings i lowered the multi directly to 46 and its still giving overclcoked failed screen. Internal PLL enabled, 13.33 mem multi. There is definately some kind of incompatibility. Im also still waiting for my new memories.

[simon747]

all that stuff went away with f3g on mine....been fine ever since...

[bartman1973]

need help .... i have flashed the bios of my ud5 to a newer one ...board is still the b2 stepping ... while running benchmark, it hang and rebooted ...during reboot the boardis trying to flash to its backup bios but was not able to complete it since another reboot happened...after that now the bord will just turned on for 1-2 sec, then off then on then off..endless on/off and will not be able to POST ... is my board dead already? any way to force it to use the backup bios ? is there a way to revice this board? please help as i am in the middle of oc contest locally here and this board is the best i have right now
