Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87

I'm still waiting to hear back from Corsair regarding the front panel mic jack and usb3.0 port issues I'm having with both mine and my brothers pc's.

It's odd because they work fine generally, I've not had any issues with the sound card disappearing like other people have had with the motherboard.

I don't overclock either, everything is at stock.
 
Thinking about upgrading, is this board a good choice?
Were the issues in this thread just faulty boards or was it bios related?
I like gigabyte boards , was looking at this and the z87x-oc but the oc looks a bit more complicated and i will never have 4 gpus
 
My first was faulty, the board itself was DOA, 2nd one arrived after a quick RMA turnaround with OCUK and plugged in booted up all completely fautless, not a single issue.
 
Mine is being sent back due to a faulty audio chip (intermittent), i have seen others with the same issue on other gigabyte boards using the same audio chip but there must be more that dont have issues than do, as you only ever here the bad and not the good as people only usually post to complain or when they have a problem, Like me :D
Sending mine back on monday, can i live without my pc......

Or 8 packs quick guide is
The best way to do this is aim for 4.4 - 4.5 first.
Go 44 multi
Vcore 1.25
Cache 1.15
LLC top available.
DDR at XMP
DDR volts 1.65v
SA 1.15 or + 0.15 offset
IOD 1.15 or + 0.2 offset
IOA 1.15 or + 0.2 offset

test..... use as you would normally no silicon torture nonsense.

Then go up to 46 multi and test maybe adding a touch of Vcore top Vcore being around 1.3v

Next work on Uncore ratio. Try 42 first then 43 etc etc using Cache Volts to stabalise.

Where do I find the cache setting on this board?

Also I have found the as, iod and ioa but they are not offset settings. So I just use the 1.15 yes?
 
Yeah its cpu ring voltage on these.
I have set CPU system agent voltage to 0.150V
CPU I/O Analog V to 0.173
CPU I/O Digital V to 0.173
As both of the I/O voltages above go orange at 0.174 for me, so I guessed that was probably bad lol.
I'm not saying these are right, just the way I understood it and did it :D
 
I cant get into my bios, my pc reboots too quick and i dont think my Logitech G510 powers up fast enough before windows is loading lol. I want to OC the cpu to 4.4 as initial test but currently cant get into the bios to do it hahah

Try your keyboard in different USB ports, hammer the DEL key for what its worth, reset the CMOS and power back up should make it enter the BIOS.

Did you enable one of the quick boot options in the BIOS? one of them I seem to remember is just too quick and as it loads drivers after it has booted this means your keyboard does sod all during the post start up procedure.
 
Yeah i think i switched one of the fast boot options on, i have a 2nd keyboard that usually is fine for entering bios when the logitech one wont, and that one wont get in fast enough either.

Might have to reset teh cMOS and power it on again.
 
Hey guys with this mobo how do I set the CPU to be a stable speed? At the mo it is dropping during idle but I'm not sure which setting it is to make this stable.

Thanks
