******Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4 Discussion Thread******

[Demo]

Is that F5 final release, worth it to upgrade from F3D?

GA-P67A-UD4-B3 - F5

-Support GIGABYTE TouchBIOS
-Support Intel 22nm CPU

HMMMMM it's better than F5e ??
hmmmm

[Andrea deluxe]

flashed and work very well!

[vblanche]

What is the TouchBIOS?

[Andrea deluxe]

windows based software able you to get control of the bios in windows.

[vblanche]

is it working ok?

[Andrea deluxe]

yes but only with latest f5 bios

yes but only with latest f5 bios

Aside from the touchbios, is it worth the hassle to upgrade to F5 coming from the F3D.. any new fixes from F3D that makes F5 worth it ?

yes men!

is better in all

[Bullet92]

What is "all" for you?
Better overclocking/stability over 5.4ghz? Better hypers clocking?

my better is:

peripherial compatibility

ram compatibility and xmp profile

daily ultra stable clock @4500mhz

sli working (stability)

voltage stability


IS ENOUGH?

[Bullet92]

Of course, but I'm looking into good XOC bios which needs "normal" voltages for clocks higher than 5.4GHz (I've 5.65ghz air chip )

you can easily try.......

With temp above 35°C outside, I don't think so

lol

Ok I'll try the F5 final release. Also is there a way that I can get to use the 3x USB power with a non Apple device?.. I kinda need the 1Amp charge rate..

you can only use 2 front red labeled usb ports @1A

Yes that I know, does it work even if its a non apple device as the website had a fine print that its only for apple devices.

work with all devices... is a simple overcourrent port.

Just got my new SB system setup and running this past weekend!
Lettin' it settle at stock and crunching for a couple days before I start OC'ing.

great.

you can try directly after disabling turbo and energy saver:

4500mhz with 1.370v with loadline calibration on and cpu internal pll overvoltage disabled.

[FL00D]

I reckon that 1.37V is a bit of an overkill for 4.5GHz overclock. Also, AFAIK CPU Internal PLL Overvoltage should be enabled. It may help you reach higher clock speeds at lower Vcore.

Cheers,

@flood

your AFAIK statement, did it help with your oc?

[FL00D]

Yh I think it did.

Anyway, read Sin's ultimate SB OC guide. He elaborates a bit on CPU PLL Overvoltage in the guide.

[hersounds]

i have 26k at 4801 mhz settings lynx stable with 1.50 vcore ( cpu-z ) 1.48vcore bios ( F5) what is the real vcore ?, that say bios or cpu-z? all with good temps of course and watercooling and -2 C ambient here in buenos aires LOL!
