**Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 OC-Tips-Bios-Discussion Thread**

So you just press ALT+f12 on the boot screen and that automatically backs up your current BIOS to your backup BIOS? Do you have to go back to default clocks when doing this?

Its susggested you start with optimized defaults. Boot with alt+F12. Once coppied shut the system down and clear the cmos boot back up and load optimized defaults.

Heres a video Dinos22 put together for another gigabyte board but still the same.

using F9A bios at the moment is there anyone using F9d ? and is there any reason to update this?

Happy new year, man!
Yeah, there is a good reason to update to F9d (told you before) in case you want to work around with an extra ROM. Got me?
Do you have plans to upgrade to X79-UD-7?
I will give it a try, that's for suuaare!

same to you mate
extra rom? i am on the 2mb bios already you no the F9A

no plans to upgrade now mate , i got a 980x at a good deal and sold the 920D0 for good money, them 980x 32nm chips run really cool compared and everyday computing is a dream 6-core is the future mate. i was going to go 2011 until i got that Cpu.

I think he is referring to the capabilities of running both Intel raid rom and the Jmicron raid rom together at the same time.

[tiro_uspsss]

anyone running any RAID card(s) in their UD7? esp. LSI?

I could use some help:

not sure if i will even use that mate

Yeah man, you 've got me right!
Num-uk was standing on the hose while was posting so the brain-throughput wasn't enough

lol

do you no the fix's from F9A?

[Fritz_the_germ]

As far as I know was just the capabilities of running Intel raid rom plus the Jmicron raid rom together at the same time implemented. It is a mod.-BIOS though!
Everything else wasn't touched. So just push a stick into your board and flash it up like you did it so many times before, come on man
By the way you might allow being curios, how many Beths (English pounds) did you pay for your six core?
I am going to let a 3930K work on the X79-UD-7 in future- it is a six core as well, man

Running the D version. 24/7 stable, using 24Gb, etc.
It`s my main work-horse and no remarks what so ever .
Haven`t had problems, since F7...

[Nam-uk]

yea i might just flash it, for the 980x i payed £260 then sold the 920DO for £110.

F7 was hit and miss for me but that was a while back the f8g i ran for a while but the f9a bios the system just boots faster ect one reson i thought go the D as there has been no beta's for a while.

If you have done the flash-work let us know how the stuff is growing on your board, man

what advantages are the duel rom ? is it better for SDD?

[Fritz_the_germ]

I don't know for sure mate if it improves the SSD-performance but what makes you so cowardly?
Seams like I'll have to catch a plane to UK just for pushing a stick into your board

lol

problem is the system will be speaking german once you leave lol

[Fritz_the_germ]

Yo Nam-uk,
I like your British sense of humor! Some times I am just busting nuts as well
A German speaking system would be a pain in the neck, in deed.
But back to your serious question:
Creating a RAID hooked up to the JMicron isn't a good idea because the controller shuts down at about 122 MB/s, moreover it is bent on PCIex 1.1.0. So that wouldn't perform pretty well.
Tow RAIDs on ICHR10 should be much better; the throughput could be at last ~600 MB/s (depends on the SSDs you chose) nevertheless TRIM does not work in a RAID area.

[Nam-uk]

lol yea some do not like that sense of humor sometimes mate .

i did read the intel is better for Sdd though , and that marvel is not real Sata 6gb controller, well you do not get the 6gb suggested which is a kick in the nuts imop, you no the new intel 6gb,s drive trim will work with Raid 0 , not really interested in that yet though.


also were the hell is that thanks button on here i can not see it anywere or it is just me.

so i'm at 4600 (219x21) @ 1.42, it's right below 1.45 in bios with LLC 2. What's the max stable voltage for a golden batch i7 920 d0?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

I miss my UD7, such an easy board to clock and so stable.

Close. I know my cpu is not the greatest. It will do 21x220 with 1.45v in bios with llc1 for 1.440 loaded but with HT disabled.

Why did you give it away?
For my part I can't wait until I'll drop in an Ivy-CPU into a X79-UD-7

mate the new ivy is 1156 socket not the 2011 socket. i do like how gig got rid of the used dimm slots on that board though.
