Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Sounds like you have a different board to me as the EX58-DS4 currently, only has 6b avalible (all are on updated on first post of this thread).

Thanks.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Thanks for the reply but as I mentioned im EX58 - DS4 not Extreme. They are different models.

Same here.
F6's require more voltage, and are not stable (linX) for me at higher bclk (200+). Apart from that, everything else seems pretty much fixed :)

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Still got problems with my OC last night i try F6h it does not work for me
also,there was no tripple boot while the system was "hot" but i get Bsod
whenever i try to play some game or turn on OCCT it was actually worse
then the prevoius :( This morning the sytem tripple boot again and after
few times whitout any success to turn on it downclock again this is
getting frustrating, Lsdmesap i cant find F6f the one you said it
will fix my problem can you or any one link me please?

P.S. Sry for my poor english

Thanks C3D76,what bios did you test till now ? any sugesstion what to try?
thanks in advance.

F3 for 24/7 (S3 works if HPET=off), and F4m for Benching.
F5g seems pretty good too :)

F6f X58 Extreme:

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Thanks for help Does your System downclock automatically also or i got additional problems? Did you get stable OC with any of those bios? you
try new ones just to find out which one is better or all didn't work ?

[C3D76]

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

No problem :)
I try new BIOS's to see if S3 is fixed, and also in the hope of one day maybe seeing a TDP limit ON/OFF switch. Please tell me who I have to bribe$$$ for this :p

I can't get anything above 195 bclk stable (LinX) with F6's. 205 bclk works fine with F4m...

Downclock?

Do you mean the CPU? C1E + EIST (speedstep)?
If so, then it only downclocks if you leave this ON in the BIOS.

If you are talking about the TDP limit, F3 downclocks from x21 (turbo multi) to x20 when more than 3 threads are loaded 100% (Prime, LinX, ...)
Newer BIOS's do not downclock (no TDP limit)

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

What i meant is I get error message,the system has experienced boot failures cause of the overclocking or change of voltages etc. then my system "downclock" to 2.56Ghz the ram also @1066 this happens always on "cold" system.I got no
Experience with OC and this is rly frustrating to me,im new to this hardware stuff
sorry if you cant understand me.

That just sounds like the system recovered from a completely unstable OC :(
I would load "Optimized defaults" in BIOS, and work your way up from there...

It has also happened that my BIOS got corrupt from failed OC's.
You could try reflashing the same BIOS again ( using LSD's guide)


P.s You should probably start a new thread with your questions + specs

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Does the board might be faulty? or its normal bios issues?
is there option to test the motherboard generally if
thats the problem? thanks, your help is highly appreicated.
Should i Rma the board ? dont know if that is possible cause its work
stable when there is no overclock

Omg i just saw you get your corei7 @ 4.4ghz? Holy! ****

I have this exact issue with the UDP4, if I try to run OCZ PLatinum 1600 at it's 7-7-7-24 rated timings. I started my own thread, but I haven't gotten a single bit of assistance. Why in the world would the board think I am oc'ing, when I am just trying to run them ram at it's rated speeds? If I change anything in the MIT section, this happens on a cold boot, plus it turns itself on and off many many times before it boots. I really hope they kick out a bios that resloves this, as they have qwith the UDP5 and Extreme boards!

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Well no solution with mine X58 extreme also, so its not with UD4 only :(
i hope they fix this soon or ill rma the board.The other possible solution
is iguess to not OC in my case and w8 for fix.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

According to intel specs, you are overclocking when you run your ram above 1066 speed, because you either need to OC the uncore or the bclk to get to that speed. So though you are using your ram at rated speed, either the uncore or bclk is overclocked to get there. If your OC is unstable, it will show up more often on cold boot, and kick out your settings for default....and default ram speed is 1066 (intel spec), regardless of your rated ram speed.

The double boot was an issue on earlier extreme boards, they will likely solve that on yours as well. If it is kicking your "OC" out, it was simply not stable, you need to change volts, etc and get it stable.
