GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

[demonsavatar]

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

I used the settings from page 1 except I left QPI VTT and CPU on auto, and it seems to work fine!!

Also the turbo mode is pushing it to 3.9 or so...


So that other batch was utter crap.


Now We can move on to the hard clocking!

AUTO is a bit misleading. The board will automatically scale up your voltage to what it thinks is necessary. You need to set every voltage to NORMAL to get stock voltages.

Kinda sad I got a C0 i7 920 about a month ago, but the $200 Microcenter deal was too good to pass up. Anyway, your D0 should treat you very well if other forums are an indication :)

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

i have exactly same problem with Daenigma
I have the Gigabyte UD4P /w newest F8 bios
i7 920
Thermaltake Spedo case
3x2gb OCZ OCZ3RPR1866CL9V6GK memory
1 Sapphire 4870 1gb toxic
Silversote 1000w Power Supply
1 Samsung SH-203N DVDRW
3x500 gb Western Digital Caviar Black in raid0

i don't even want to oc my system but i can't get my ram work at 1866mhz/1.66v and timing running 9-9-9-28(because of 124 bsod).
Please help, i really do NOT care about OC right now.

OK so now I am using the settings from page 1, but I have the CPU at normal 1.16750 (Turbo and HT enabled) and QPI is still needing 1.415v (or the 124 errors return) to remain stable...

So now I am wondering if the MB is a problem, as that seems very high for QPI with a D0 stepping. Although keep in mind that I do have the mem at 1860.

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

I got sick of the huge ammount of qpi needed (1.62v) to be stable at 1866mhz so I got a new MB (ASUS Rampage II Gene). Turns out that the problem became even worse with the new MB so I looked around more and found posts about this memory and the QPI voltage needing to be very high. Anyway Today I returned the Asus and the OCZ memory, and ordered some Corsair (Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory) I hope that my problems subside now lol...


The MB will be the UD4P with the Corsair memory and the D0 Stepping 920, I will update as soon as I get the new memory in the mail!

I found someone using EX58-Extreme bios on his EX58-UD4P. how is that possible?

Hey, is the corsair ramTR3X6G1600C7 working good with your EX58-UD4P?

I have the same ram and I'm thinking to get same mobo

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

It seems to work well, I am currently at 4.2ghz 200bclk with the memory at 1600 7-7-7-20, but if I can I would like to tighten it up some.

I needed 1.4350v QPI and 1.3000v CPU, but I am still tweaking the settings.

So far I ran the LinX x64 with 8 threads 20x and the temp on the hottest core only hit 79c, keep in mind it is 27c here in the house.

Hello everyone,
If someone could help me on this topic it would be very helpful, I'm a newb attempting to do some overclocking without spending 1000.00 on the i7 965...
I've overclocked my processor to 3.5ghz successfully except when my computer goes to sleep/hibernate and i click to wake it back up it fails to boot.. and i end up having to do a hard reset by holding down the power supply (i don't know if that's too good for my computer either) If anyone knows why this is happening it would be very helpful! Thanks in advance!

Ps: I don't know if i did this whole Overclocking thing right, I've only changed a few things, If anyone can help me please PM me or write on thread. I'm not looking to OC my machine to the 4.0's just 3.5 or high 3's would be a heavens sent. Thanks again!

Make sure you upgrade your BIOS to at least version F8. It is a known issue with older BIOS versions for this board.

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

anyone experience this issue when OC'ing?

when I power on my PC, I could hear like 3 resets happen (the blue led behind the ram which show your OC level turn off and on like 3 times) it doesn't shutdown and power on again, it just doing like 3 reset in the row without any shutdown, I entered the bios after, but it doesn't say anything about reverting from bad OC, and every stress test passed fine.
restarting from vista is fine, this issue only happen when shutdown PC and then power on

using ud4p f8

Try not to double post please! I responded to your other thread mentioning the same problem - slow cold boots are common on the X58 boards. Thanks!

Re: GA-EX58-UD4P Overclocking

Hi, I'm very new in the OC. I have the same hardware like DaEnigma: Intel Nehalem 920 with, mother Gigabyte EX58-UD4P, Gskill DDr3 1600 F3-12800CL8TU-6GBPI. I don't have watercooling, I have a air cooling Coolermaster V8. Can I Follow the same parameters above? Is uncertain for me (because I don't understand) In my case the uncore frequency must be 16 or 17x (memory 1600 x 2)+1 instead 20-21x? and another questions Why the system memory multiplier is in 10x (1860 mhz) instead 8x (=1600 frequency default) the memory needs to be overclocked too?.

Sorry for my terrible English, Thank you very much for your help

Hi,

In googling my batch number I found that we have the same 920 D0. Mine takes 3.2 v to get to 4ghz. Wish I could drop down the vcore a bit and wondering what are your complete settings?

Thanks.

3.2v?its going to go pop pretty soon..........1.25000 should be more than enuff for 4ghz,i only use 1.18750 for 3.8ghz
as for uncore freq its either 2xram multiplier or 2x+1 ram multiplier,so if ram multi is 10 uncore will be 20 or 21
