Gigabyte P67A-UD7 in the house

Look it might just be you have a faulty board. Stuff happens like that from time to time. I build plenty systems for mates and sometimes you just get a part that will not work.

Check your PSU connections very closely that does sound to me where the issue is.

And yeah I will check in later tonight during Bolton v Chelsea half time break.:)
 
OK it switches on!

but am running following..

mobo out of case, using in box it came in

using different psu seasonic s12
using different ram, 1gb hynix
no gpu

ideally want to run x750 psu, 4 x ddr 3 stick gskill, gtx 570

next will try gskill sticks in pairs of 2


Back abit what do you mean no GPU?

If you have no GPU then your board is a H67 chipset.

Please confirm.
 
Andy from a benching point of view the consensus amongst those who ken is that the UD7 is one mean fast motherboard. It is hands down quicker in 3DMark2001 and 32Mil Super PI compared to the other main rivals. So for once I lucked in with a quick motherboard. Now I just need to find a really quick CPU.

2 More 2600K ordered and on the truck. :)
 
Hi , where is the pll overide ?

i did the others and sure enough it stays at 4.0 gig know , i set my cpu tp 1.3volts manual and in cpuz it shows 1.044v ?

coretemp shows vid at 1.346 volts , all idle at 30 degrees, whats the importance of the vid and i wonder why my core volts is lower than in bios , any ideas ?

Sorry Andy have been busy the whole day doing school stuff for my kids. CPU-z 1.562 or 3 beta will read the vcore correctly for SB

If you have bios F7e flashed then the option PLL over ride is found in the CPU options page. Third item down I seem to recall. Sorry not at home right now on the iPad.
 
No it is a CPU thing - what is the code you get when it reverts? I would guess 26 and then 4E.

It all depends on what your voltages are for other settings. If you are on the edge of what is stable and what is not then it happens. The funny thing about SB is that unlike other Intel processors or chip-sets there is very little leeway for nearly stable. Most of the time if you are booting to OS then you are quite likely to be stable for Vantage say. It is a either you are or you are not thing with SB. With the X58 for example I would get be able to bench some things at one frequency and not others. SB if I can bench one thing I normally can bench them all.
 
Good. Now I can go get some sleep.

Nice one Andy - not many people can say they get 5GHz on their CPU with out extreme cooling. Now the fun and the frustration starts. Getting to 5GHz is relatively easy. Getting to 5.7GHz is the next goal. And boy is that a real B 1 tch
 
From a performance or efficiency point of view the Gigabyte board is leading the way. There are a couple of threads at different performance sites, including HWBOT that have remarked on the better efficiency of the Gigabyte boards. I am really enjoying my time with this board I must say. Every chipset has a iconic motherboard. The X48 had the REX that kicked sand in every other motherboards metaphorical face. Well for the P67 chipset the Gigabyte UD7 is 'da man'.
