November 21, 201113 yr Wtf about retail C1 incompatibility ... I think there are new BIOSes coming out. There should be ... need some other fixes too. Oh, hey, could we all complain with one big petition to give us more than 4 bios profiles and allow is to name them so we can see which one is loaded? I tried auto and setting them manually. No change. +1 for naming the profiles!!!!! I can change voltage in ET6 (Vcore) and use the board's buttones for multi bclk. I think I have a dud as 4.8Ghz on water is all I can bench at... YUCK
November 21, 201113 yr Dino said the new BIOS would be uploaded tomorrow? http://www.jzelectronic.de/jz2/index.php "In test" ,atm. OK,w'll wait for tomorrow. Edited November 21, 201113 yr by stasio
November 21, 201113 yr Author +1 for naming the profiles!!!!! I can change voltage in ET6 (Vcore) and use the board's buttones for multi bclk. I think I have a dud as 4.8Ghz on water is all I can bench at... YUCK Weirdly enough ... there are a lot of chips that maxing out around those clocks. Mine did 4.8G, even with just two cores enabled. And the chip can definitely do more than that. Did you test on R4E too? Word on the e-street is that board had a similar issue in first beta versions but then got solved with bios updates??
November 21, 201113 yr @ Stasio - Does this bios prevent the non applying settings from the bios the beta's have? (I didnt look before I posted and sorry for the mini thread jack). No release notes on the website. @ Massman, no R4E. The other X79 board I have (Asrock Extreme4-M) Doesnt even like to hold a 4.5ghz clock at the moment.. Replied to your PM, will test and report back., Edited November 21, 201113 yr by Earthdog
November 21, 201113 yr I was able to max at 4.9ghz yesterday on air with a fan over the VR, should help with a lo9t of boards. I saw shamino suggested it for higher air/water OC on the R4E as well. His comment at XS.

No release notes on the website. Yeap. Also, you no longer have to enable turbo mode in CPU Features to get over the default 37x multiplier. Boot-up feels smoother too. //edit: still the same weird performance bug (losing 7~9 seconds on 32M compared to GD65) and I haven't found the key to +4.9GHz yet like on the GD65 8D.
November 22, 201113 yr Author Okay, found the performance issue. Just disable both Channel and Rank Interleaving in Advanced Memory Settings. Before After Comparison with GD65
November 22, 201113 yr These two settings cause >20s difference? That's impressive ... Did you test in which way it affects stability/OC potential?
November 22, 201113 yr Author Or one of the two ... too lazy to test which one exactly. No issue stability/oc-wise.
November 22, 201113 yr Author @ Massman, no R4E. The other X79 board I have (Asrock Extreme4-M) Doesnt even like to hold a 4.5ghz clock at the moment.. Replied to your PM, will test and report back., No worries, it doesn't work on the UD7. The board doesn't hard reboot that often. Maybe that's one of the issues.
November 22, 201113 yr Try with them enabled and tri-channel P.S: You realize that on GD65 you used 2133MHz and on UD7 you used 2400MHz, right?
November 23, 201113 yr the regulator needs a fan? yikes.. it doesn't require a fan, but just like shamino suggested at XS in the R4E thread, a fan over the VR heatsink helps for that little bit extra.
November 24, 201113 yr Any fix in sight for the multi not sticking on F3 bios sin? Or advice to push past 4.9Ghz? Its a rock solid lock at 4.9Ghz, active cooling on the VRM's or not.
November 25, 201113 yr Cold on the CPu itself lol. I know a buddy with retail who hit 5.0ghz with F3, otherwise i don't know many others with the same board. but do this, try without CPU PLL Overvoltage, see if you can hit 4.9ghz too, with it disabled? I hear it helps at high clocks, but i can do without it and have the same frequency. When you say multi not sticking, you have C1E enabled, right?
November 25, 201113 yr nice to see you figured out the 32M slowness. That's a big difference. I'll start playing a bit next week to see if we can push the bios guys to remove some of these bugs too a bit sooner.

Hopefully its that simple (C1E)...but I swear I left that on default. Oh well, new CPU to arrive tomorrow so I can test again. The old one is dead somehow.
November 28, 201113 yr wait no i tested more, the problem is Easytune. you can disable C1E, in BIOs it might not say 4.5ghz when you set 45x, but when you go into windows its 45x, but when easytune loads it drops to 38 or 39x, so if you uninstall easytune, it wont drop lol.
November 30, 201113 yr Heh.. turns out the CPU wasnt the problem, the UD7 crapped the bed. Wussy board. New one arrives Monday. Hopefully that one wont be as weak, and now I have 2 CPU's to bin!
December 3, 201113 yr Author Anyone tested F4b? So far, it seems a little more buggy than F3. Maybe it's me, lol.
