Hey, database should be corrected, just A10-5800K and A10-5700 APU-s are recognised as FM2. I Submitted a score with A8-5600K, but it was not recognised as FM2. Thanks, HGyu

Because your card does not use the same VRM. Mine uses different chip from CHiL CHL8228G. BIOS structure also differs from the GV-R797TO-3GD, and the BIOS submitted is not intended to use on your card. HGyu

Congrats! Why did you use such an old GPU-Z? Did not detect the cards properly.

What was your memory freq & timingset? Nice score btw! Congrats.

Congrats for the great score. Are you considering about liquid neon cooling? It's still -248°C and way cheaper than helium. Also it has greater thermal characteristics (heat of vaporization) than Helium.

Using F11a BIOS in combination with i7-3820 and of course the UD7. The weird behaviour is the following: After CMOS reset I enter the UEFI setup. Load optimized defaults, reboot, then enter the UEFI setup again. The system is running idle while staying in the setup. Everything is at its default value. NOW pressing any of the the power button (the mounted one at the corner, or the other one of the front panel header) the system hangs totally holding the last screen state on the display. Reset is okay then. Any newer BIOS? Thanks, George.

Top 10 of the World. Congratulations.

Nice score. Nice system. Congratulations.

Okay, F11a still has a bug, that was also present in the F10. When PCH 1.1V and PCH 1.5V voltages are set to "Normal" in the Chipset Voltage Control Section then the CPU does not receive its voltage set by the user. Eg. if the above mentioned voltages are set to "Normal" and CPU Vcore is set to 1.4V, then the CPU receives only 1.15V. If these are set to anothet value, then everything is okay. HGyu

I will try it soon. Thanks.

Now dont pretend to wait for any better BIOS updates for the UD7?

Hmmm, it didn't take so much time to get the EOL status. Lol.

I will try it for sure soon, and I will be reporting the results. Do you have some einformation about a new deta BIOS that does the very awaited miracle? Thanks, George

Recently have tested my 3930K CPU in a friend's board, Rampage IV Extreme, 5050MHz 6c/12t easy @ 1,54V... UD7 still has this clock wall. I really hope that they will eliminate it soon and / or under subzero it will behave normal. HGyu

Confirmed, that parameters working with spiflash.exe do not work with efiflash.exe. I tried it 5 minutes ago. O.C. button does not do anything for me using BIOS version F10: Loaded UEFI Defaults, then save, then poweroff. Pressed O.C. button, booted to windows, and all the clock were the same (wprime1024M)...

Ah, see. This F10 BIOS seems to do really weird things. If I set 1,5V for the VCore its just fine, using the Extreme LLC the measured voltage matches exactly the set one in BIOS, under light, heavy loads and also Idle, there is just 0,02...0,03V difference. I think that is far above from satisfactory results. But, when I set ALL settings form "Auto" to "normal" in the VRM and voltage control section, then VCore drops to 1,33V, and remains that until I revert changes to "Auto". Really weird. My memory seem to be okay using both F2 and F10 BIOS, some sticks of MGH-E Hypers. Also the lack of the naming of the OC profiles is a big drawback. Then there is the LLC. The BIOS ver. F2 set them by mohm, the F8d sets it via percentage levels, but this F10 version uses preset names for that (but the default indication still named 60%, LoL). I pretend to think that BIOS improvements(??) are a bit unconsideredly and hastily released.

Air clock wall is still present but subzero cooling eliminates clock wall? Hmmm, sounds interesting.

Did you try flashing back from F10 to F8d from DOS? Former boards with SPIFlash allowed flashback via /y or /z parameter (force flash), that Q-Flash from BIOS or @flash at win did not allowed. Perhaps it will work also here. You suggest that I should try the F8d in contrary to F10? HGyu

See that this thread was quite dead for 2 months. Since Gigabyte released F9 and F10 official BIOS-es, all previously released was removed from the main site. It's interesting. Were they so poor at OCing or bad desing? Still question. I ran through the posts, aned made some quick benching with my C2 3930K and brand new UD7 with the F2 BIOS as it arrived. Results are really bad, the previously written 4,8GHz clock wall occurs that many forum members wrote before. No matter what voltage, no matter what strap. I was just curious, now flashing the F10 official BIOS, and will write soon the results achieved by that. Bad thinking starts to overwhelm my brain that this board was a bad choice... HGyu

Is SLI patch (for example in the Vantage stage) allowed for P45 / X48 boards? Thanks, HGyu

Thank you very much! HGyu

The stage 1 limitations says that "Use 1 videocard core(s) in total" - Manufacturer should be MSI, or it could be from any vendor? The stage 1 limitations says that "Use 1 videocard core(s) in total" but the competition details says "This “MSI Sandy Bridge Evolution” contest is opened to overclockers worldwide, and requires MSI 6 series mainboards, N580GTX graphics cards and Intel 2500K or higher processors." The stage 1 limitations says that "Only use processors using socket LGA1155". Thus HD6970 or low-cost LGA1155 CPUs (such as Celeron G530, 540, etc.) are allowed or not? Thanks in advance, HGyu

If there is no any volunteer to show, then I show mine first. http://translate.google.hu/translate?hl=hu&sl=hu&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fprohardver.hu%2Ftema%2Fextrem_tuning_topic%2Fhsz_4018-4018.html http://translate.google.hu/translate?hl=hu&sl=hu&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fprohardver.hu%2Ftema%2Fextrem_tuning_topic%2Fhsz_4128-4128.html The links translated from Hungarian to English, I think most of you won't understand Hungarian.

Sorry, I sold it a couple of months ago.

Yes. This exactly is, that I thought, and your answer is that I expected to see. Thank you. HGyu
