Gigabyte P67A-UD7 in the house

Try these settings

BIOS F7e

CPU Options ----> PLL Overrider enabled

vCore 1.440
PLL 1.76
Vtt Auto

All other Auto

Set Multi to 50 leave BCLK default
F10 enter
Boot into OS done deal


PLEASE note that PLL overrider is not suitable for 24/7 use. Use BIOS F7 or F7h for 24/7 use.
 
That particular bios was written purely so we could try the x58 and x59 multi. It is not the most efficiently of BIOS and as a bencher I tend to use the bios that is the most efficient. F7e is the best currently.
 
Not in the sense that would make any difference to a 24/7 user no. You see the PLL overrider which is contained in that and other bios's is not meant to be used for 24/7 use. It is there only for those who wish to bench or overclock their system to the max.

I would suggest using the F7 bios for 24/7 use.
 
I got to 4.6GHZ 30 seconds after I switched on, tried 4.8GHZ but its a no no, probably need to up voltage, running at 4.4GHZ for now, also I don't stress test, you kind of know if a cpu will be stable or not....

Anyway My Marvel SATA controller is playing up can run 2 disks as independant, but when I RAID 0 them, it wont format them in device manager.
Hate how they put really cheap and nasty controllers on a high end board...

I remember last year there was a board with 4 sata controllers on, Gsata, Intel, Marvel, VIA, 8 internal ports.... for the price this board is lacking in sata ports
 
Which of the ports, if the two white ones are the SATA3 ports are you using for your RAID? The two to the right of the white ones?

Not sure how many people want more than 8 SATA ports to be quite honest, but since the X58A-UD3A does have 10 ports I guess people do. I wonder if it is because the board is aimed at the enthusiast or gamer who will over clock their system and not really use it as a storage device. But I agree with you it would be better to have a few more ports.

What BIOS are you using and it might be a good idea to list your settings.

Using F4,

Have everything on auto except

Mem XMP 1, Extreme Profile

Disabled Turbo Boost, C1E

All I do is adjust multiplier...

Regarding the Marvel RAID Problem, RAID 1 works, but when I format disk array as GPT in Windows either in RAID 0 or 1 it just doesn't format and spits out error message or freezes, need GPT in order to format 4TB
 
I suspect that your PSU is not up for the job at hand. And as a result of the two cards drawing power from both the board (2 x 175w) and the 4 in total PCi-e connectors are causing a irregularity on your 12Volt rail. That will result in insufficient voltage being supplied to your CPU. Or flutter on the 12v rail which results in the same thing.

To combat that I would suggest enabling LLC1 in the CPU options. Certainly will help, but dependant on your PSU type and rail type can not be 100% sure that it will fix. Upping the vCore manually is not a bad idea. For 4.4 I would suspect that 1.34 vcore would be fine but again that is dependant on the hardware. Each CPU is unique in its needs.

Re the Marvel raid thing. Give me a few hours to play around with my set up and let me see if I can duplicate your problem. I suspect that it might be a Marvel issue as you say.




Edit: You need to flash your BIOS to F7 - there was an fix for 3TB and larger hard drives.

Meant f3 bios, reason never upgraded is because was all working fine..

Anyway now stable 4.2ghz, sli working fine, got raid working..

Need to create array as MBR first then convert to gpt, if you create as gpt first does not work...


Although speeds on marvel are appaling, intel is twice as fast, getting 140MB/s write with two F4 in raid 0. With 2 x 2.5" wd black in raid 0 on intel I get 200MB/s write...

Did a lot of reaseach on PSU, pay over the top and got enermax modu 87+ 900w, which should be fine for i72600k, 4 x 2.5" hd, 3 x 3.5" hd, 1 optical, 2 x gtx 570
 
What does "real time ratio changes in os" do..

Have multiplier set to 42, but when enabled that setting in bios it fluctautes 34-37

Does is only increase multiplier up to 42 when needed?
 
That is a dormant feature at this point. What it is meant to do is allow on the fly multi changes in OS. So when you have it enabled you can change multi in the OS using EasyTunes6. But as I say it has not been implemented as yet. You can change the BCLK with EasyTunes6. Bare in mind that what ever you select with ET6 will be set in your BIOS. Just keep that in mind.
 
Hey 1Day,

I have just DSR'd my board, its a shame about the x8 business, wasnt too much of an issue for myself but my wife pointed out a major performance hit lastnight when she was working on some mapping (Geologist) She works on 2 x 30" screens and the rendering time was almost halved in comparison to what we were getting with the previous rig.
 
Yeah - not sure that there is any board out there that offers 3 x16 PCi lanes. But the PCi x1 lane is blocked and pretty useless in its current location.

Good luck with the next board.
 
Well am trying to get stable overclock but its not easy...

Considering am running 3 raid arrays and sli..

Running 40x multiplier and 105mhz bclk to get 4.2GHZ

will upgrading from F3 bios help?

running 105Mhz blck will probably in itself make it unstable , try running 100 x43 instead
