GIGABYTE 9xx AM3+ thread

Don't be scared to use a pic for 15 inch monitors. That would make it much easier to see and not so big that it stretches your screen. I'd love to see your OC, but can't!

Just press right click & view image then it's the perfect size.

Dude, I have no idea why I didn't think of that! But hey, thanks. I wish we had a "Thanks" button here @ XS. You would have just gotten one!

BTW, nice OC V-FrIeNd!

[oso]

can you share BETA-BIOS F5b for 990FXA-UD5. I've problems with the AMD SATA-Controller too and i hope i can fix it with this bios.

HI here you have http://www.mediafire.com/?2k5a1g539fn4fgs

sorry

[hsn]

Need help guys.

Gigabyte 990fxA ud5,phenom 1055t
this is my bios setting and all default.

all option auto. vcore auto (1.4v)


but when i change option to manual with little oc and without change system voltage control, my proc vcore = 1.275v


and i try to change voltage control to manual, it happen again. vcore = 1.275v


And i try to set cpu voltage to 1.3v on easy tune.
the different between load and iddle became like this.

load :


idle :


Is there anything wrong with my setting or mobo or cpu??
thx....

sorry if my english bad.

[sin0822]

no that is AM3+ design guidelines but you can do a few things tor educ the vdroop, such as turn off turbo core, flash to BIOS F5B.

[m411b]

Hmm, I dont have a turbo core option in f4b bios for the ud7. Any other ideas to help with this?

[sin0822]

just set a little higher vcore. its not going to hurt at all.

so, which one the right vcore??
on MIT or PC Health???

[sin0822]

are they different?

[hsn]

yes, + 0.025v on pc healt.

[rintamarotta]

Still no F4 or F5 bios for UD3? Gigabyte ralizes how bad it limits users ability to use board when usb keyboards bug in UD3?
Come on gigabyte, give new UD3 bios asap!!!

Time to go and do modified UD3 bios with some parts from UD7.

[Hondacity]

a hardware mod for vdroop? this is dissapointing... i thought gb engineers would have something like a bios fix for it...

[rintamarotta]

They will have bios to fix it, but they should have allready fixed all these problems.
Look how good ASUS CHV bios is compared to GA-990FXA-UD3/5

[almighty15]

I've currently got my Crosshair 4 Extreme on Ebay so that I can get a UD7 as the LLC and voltage spikes during load are pissing me off!!!

My old MSI 790FX GD70 was amazing in that respect, Vcore was solid, Never rose or dipped during load or idle.

[rintamarotta]

UD3 is pissing me off, i put voltage in bios to 1.475v, it results to 1.45v in windows.
In load it stays at that 1.45volts but suddenly few times each minute it ups voltage to 1.575volts without any reason.

These measurements are done with digital multimeter.

UD5 and UD7 are fine tough...

So the UD7 has Vdroop and Vdrop as well then

This is design feature, eg. the board suppose to have Vdrop at load.
What some users want is no Vdrop or less of it and for that Gigabyte will hopefully release new BIOS rev. soon. Even though My UD7 has Vdrop it clocks my 1090T slightly better than my old CHIVF. I was very happy with Asus board till it started having stability issues and eventually I've sent it for RMA, but I'm equally happy if not more with UD7 now. It clocks like a dream and comes with one BIOS option I love - Turbo Core Boost.

[m411b]

UD5 and UD7 are fine though...

UD7 has same problems!

I take it "Turbo Core Boost" is only available with Thuban?

turbo core, c1e and CnQ are off?

Thuban and Zambezi. Nothing you cant do in AOD, but it is so much easier when done from BIOS.

[almighty15]

My Crosshair 4 extreme has always had an Turbo boost section in my BIOS

Not in Formula, anyway what does it do in your case?
Boost to turbo clocks with 5 cores loaded instead of normal 3 or something else?

I can just run it with my overclock, I have 4.2Ghz normal overclock and 4.5Ghz Turbo
