Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 Questions

Does anyone know why this happens ?
Didn't happen with old mobo so I'm assuming it's power / mobo related
when I shut down, it shuts down as normal, you hear it all shut down, monitor goes etc but the fans and LEDs on the antec1200 keep running for a good ten seconds after everything else it closed.
 
Twitch ur turning into the savior and master of all ud5 help, many thanks
Are you using the latest bios twitch?
If you update the bios does it alter any settings made with previous bois? Do you use the tool on the disk to update?

I've managed 3.8 but i've not really had time to have a good mess with it.
Just changed the BCLK and upped the core volt, not changed anything else, I'm still trying to process all the info
offer any advice pls?

can anyone just tell me im on the right track here
im currently at 3.8 changing the BCLK and the core volts.

the memory im using is 6g ocz 1600, but the bios is showing 1066 running at 1448
i see if i change my bclk to 200 it will increase the freq of ram to 1600, why isnt it at 1600 standard. reason i ask is if you look at twitch's pics above of his bios his mem freq's show 1600 @ 1448, why is his showing this and mine arent ?

im learning here :-)


 
One thing i see your bios hasn't got is extreme memory profile(XMP) not sure if this is why it's not showing as 1600.
Have you looking at cpuz to see what it says your memory is?

It says 1600 in the part number in your cpuz shot but doesn't show 800mhz in the timings table:confused: look compared to my 1600 memory.

Just looked at my bios and it says 1066 just like yours but when i enable xmp it changes to 1600, so i think it must be a default thing with i7.
 
So am I right in thinking
ram with xmp is able to run at it's rated speed ie 1600 with the xmp selected in the bios, were as non xmp ram has to be manually configured to run at selected speed.
 
Oh right, this is the right thread for this post I posted elsewhere, oops :x

You need to enable Load Line Calibration when overclocking on these boards as the Vdroop is terrible on them.

I need to use 1.3v for 3.8 Ghz, and 1.475v for 4.2 Ghz with Standard LLC, or 1.25v and 1.425v with LLC enabled (the voltage still drops by 0.029v under load with LLC enabled, but it drops by something like 0.075v with it set to standard).
 
ok another question
ive just noticed at the bottom right of the board is led text in red, i cant see what it says as my 2nd card is covering it, but it looks like a F or P
anyone know what this is before i take the 2nd card out ?
 
FFS ! lol
i think its means booting, according to the gigabyte forum, nothing to worry about, so the thread says
