GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

We need new BIOS'es for the X58 motherboards!!

Would like to see:

-Bugfixes , when vcore is set manually @ 1.13125v it goes to 1.18v after a few reboots
-Higher PCI-E frequency stable for higher overclocks. Current it doesn't go over 103Mhz (F8B bios)
-Improved RAM timings , when advanced RAM timings set on auto the values are set way too high. Lower please!

I completely quote and add:
-And for not Elpida chip(ES my OCZ Platinum)...please, the QPI bug!!!
whit F8b I can not climb over 3.4 200x17, and if i set qpi and ioh on auto...this is my situation on 3,8ghx 200x18:



Please release new bios!

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Has anyone with a UD4P had any issues with o/cing using the latest bios?
I had been running bios 7e for quite a while at 3.6GHz but after updting to bios version 9a I cant get the same setting to boot - it simply just reboots and resets the settings to default.

I know I can revert back to the earlier bios but just wondered if anyone else has had any issues..

My settings as best as I can remember them are below - maybe I missed something.. I havent had chance to tweak all the settings but Im new to all this so as I said, maybe there is something obvious that I set incorrectly.. Any advice appreciated.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

-Improved RAM timings , when advanced RAM timings set on auto the values are set way too high. Lower please!

If you are overclocking you should not be depending on AUTO settings for the major ram timings. I wouldn't expect a fix for that. Mostly it tries to read the info programmed into your RAM module but some modules like the OCZ ram I have don't have correct profiles programmed in, so I manually set them.

-And for not Elpida chip(ES my OCZ Platinum)...please, the QPI bug!!!

What exactly is the QPI bug?

Has anyone with a UD4P had any issues with o/cing using the latest bios?

Wrong place for this post I think. I sent you a PM with some ideas though.

Stasio always provides any new bios'es which comes out,or which is the latest one..........

He also some times provides with out any request.
So why to ?????????

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

What exactly is the QPI bug?

When i come up 3,4ghz 200x17 qpi is instable, too much or less
now i can't stay over 3,4 ghz whit my new OCZ platinum...
one month ago, whit Corsair Dominator I have not had any problem

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Something similar here: OCZ gold. I don't know if my OCZs use Elpida chips.

I have read that only elpida chip do not make any problem on QPI..
So our OCZ are not elpida...

I would like to request for the BIOS too.

Btw, nice overclock for your system. Mind telling me your BIOS settings and whether CPU is C0 or D0?

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Thanks shady,
I'm using a C0 20x190 Bclk @ 1.2875v with HT Off (Cpu-Z reports 1.264v), HT On need higher VCore (around 1.3375v), all other voltages are still under test, anyway Qpi/Vtt is on Auto as IOH core and DRam at 1.64v.. but I'm unable to install ET6 under Win7 64Bit to check Auto voltages, any alternative?

Thanks

Im doing 170x20 with HT on/1.12V and all other voltages at Normal value now. Maybe you can try Everest but there is not much voltages that can be checked though.
