Re: UD3R X58 will not OC? anymore help needed.

id say 2 to 3 weeks,yh but you said it was a grade b board? you dont know what problems it had before overclockers sold it you

Yes but they do alot testing on their products so they say. So if i email gigabyte now tell them about my problem i take it they will give me an rma number to pop on the package and i just send it off to them? i take it they have a centre in the uk. i might get lucky they could send me a UD5 lol.

i dont know,ive only had to rma for a bent cpu pin it took 2 to 3 weeks till i got it back,but the boards are built for overclocking so i shouldnt see why not,just tell them that youve tried to overclock to 3.2ghz and it just refuses,with various bios's and voltages,tell them it was working fine few days ago at 3.2ghz dont tell them youve clocked it to 3.8ghz just incase

also what ram are you using and timings? what voltage for your ram?

Ram is 1333 corsair 9-9-9-24. i have tried taking rams out and testing one in different slots which has same issue. My ram is strange anways. When i first got my motherboard my ram was being read at its correct timings. now my motherboard recognises it at 8-8-8-20 which works. Not sure if the new bios's did this.

ok go in bios and click manual timings,then click quick and type in 9-9-9-24 and command rate 1T,then find ram voltage and set to 1.66 then set qpi voltage to 1.34000 and set cpu voltage to 1.250000, set system performance enhance to standard, then see if it will run...let it loop a few times till it settles and boots up .........set bclk to 180

Donkey's years old thread, but if anyone else is reading this thread having similar troubles...

Make sure your CMOS battery isn't dead or dying. If you have a meter, test the batt, should be 3.0 - 3.6v dc, if any lower, bin it for a new one. If your mobo battery is dying, it will often cause your BIOS to reset, throwing out all your settings.

When OC'ing, make sure your Uncore speed is set to 1.5x your ram speed (tale both ram and uncore off auto settings and input values manually).

e.g. 1333 ram, should have a uncore frequency of 2000 (one and half times the ram).

Make sure your drive controller is set to AHCI in BIOS only if you have already loaded the driver in windows...windows will not automatically load the AHCI driver unless it's during a fresh windows install.

There are several ways around this for existing windows installs...go into 'msconfig' in windows, select 'boot', choose safe boot minimal, and restart PC...eneter BIOS, select AHCI mode for drive controller, and windows will load the proper driver...once into desktop, run 'msconfig' again, and reset to normal boot, and restart again to boot into windows.

If you accidentally selected AHCI in BIOS without doing these safeboot steps, windows goes into a repeating boot cycle because it can't find your boot drive.
