after checking F8G beta bios, tried 2 downloads as well, is this error due to Beta bios, as i never seen this before? i am on F7 bios as well.

Hi
We may be fairly good but we do need a little information to go on. ::)
From what you have said it would sound as if you are trying to download/install the wrong BIOS for your motherboard. If you can give us a few more details it would help greatly.
-
mine is rev 1.0 and downloading it from main site http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3251#ov i.e F8G .. then i load Q-flash and it checks the bios , then Checksum DD00 comes up and the message are you sure you want to update, i did not ..you reckon Gig uploaded the wrong bios?
-
OK now that I know what moptherboard we are talking about it is a mite easier. So when you tried to run the update it came up with the checksum: DD00. What makes you think this is a fault?
-
yea the Mb model would of helped indeed ::), forgot about that lol , i see checksum as bad mate, why say this in q-flash anyway if there is no issue.
-
The QFlash utility does a check before it runs the update to make sure that it is the correct file for that motherboard. I expect that is all that is happening there and you just need to proceed. It doesn't actually say there is any fault or problem does it?
-
Well i downloaded the UD7 1.0 f8g form the site so it should be the correct bios, after checking bios all it says is Checksum DD00 and it does ask if i want to update but i did not due to being unsure.
-
As far as I remember that is correct and it is just showing the checksum ID. It would say if there was a problem with it.
-
understand mate , i did a few Bios updates a while back and never did see this Checksum must be me getting Paranoid as this is my second Ud7 (due to Vrm/double booting issue)
i might leave it till the final comes out ,
also another Question i have had the same overclock for a while, why is it some times MIT resets to Default on boot Occasionally ?
i had this on my Old X38-DQ6 but was very rare this happened.
-

I don't know what causes it to happen but occasionally it has a problem with the BIOS settings and then thinks it has a failed overclock and resets.

you reckon that MIT is too Sensitive sometimes? on my DQ6 i set the mem to auto and that worked , i have just set the UD7 to auto mem and turbo which gives me 9,9,9,24 1t not bad but i like 7,7,7,20 2t ,System was stable on tests before , but even then Mit can still spit the dummy out on Boot ..
will see how Auto works for now.
-
Yes sometimes you need to play around with the memory settings manually to get it stable. You didn't say what memory you are using anyway. I think you just like to keep me guessing ;)
But as you say just see how it goes ...can always make changes as necessary.

yea done it again lol, but System In my Signature now, i.e Corsair Dom GT DHX 6GB CMT6GX3M3A1600C7 . i did Enable XMP a while back and the Ud7 set it to 7,7,7,23 1T Which i thought was odd as XMP for that mem is 7,7,7,20 2T .
-
From memory that Corsair Dominator set isn't on the QVL and maybe that is why the XMP sets itself at a slightly looser setting.
Definitely easier now we can se your system ;D
-
on the cosair site it is, this is what thrown me with the timings, not really that bothered but i would like to no why http://www.corsair.com/retailer/product_results.aspx?rid=1099078&id=1498848
yea having system up helps, i just forgot to do it when i joined.
-
As you say the timings are really neither here nor there and you would never be able to notice the difference apart from with a benchtest program.
-
i see you have the Corsair Dimms are they the 8.8.8.24 ones? that was my last set, i had them changed but it turned out tobe the UD7 .
-
Yes the 8-8-8-24 set and very good they are too. I haven't had any problem with them at all and just run them on the XMP ...so nice and easy.
What was the problem with your other UD7, bent pins?
-
yea i was manually setting them and were running fine over the 3 weeks i had that first ud7 ..
no , what was happening is i was getting MIT reset (Double boot) on clocked setup and even Default vaules i.e everything Standard, dam weird issue, 13 days i had this problem and it was intermittent but at the end , every boot the Mb was double booting and this was all set to default, best guess it was a VRM thing , not sure. and i think the Ud7 was not even new, because when it got swapped the second Mb tray was taped down.
over them weeks i swapped the MEM, gpu (480) thats my second as well , first blow up ::), Psu Enermax DXX 1000 to a Corsair 850 , the DXX did not help the first had Capacitor wine, and i had 3 others after this, then i refused the 5th, even may of caused the UD7 to fail, bloody nightmare i can tell you, worst hardware issue i have had to date since 2006 with the A8N32-SLI..
-
Even though the Enermax is normally a good PSU I wouldn't be suprised if your initial problems were down to that rather than the board. Most of the double boot issues are from the PSU, not all but a lot.
I notice you have managed to hang on to a revision 1.0 board. In m my opinion much better than the revision 2.0.

i did post issues on here and other places everyone was stumped, but there was issues on the DXX destroying HDD,cdroms, graphics when i searched after swapping out Psu , the Cap wine was very bad indeed , the noise you would blam it on board straight away as it sounded like it was untill i took the Psu out and booted system..
i did not no that most of the Double boots are down to the Psu, the HX850 should do the job just fine as that is what i asked for when i refused the DXX, the Hx is around same power, i did not want anymore refurbish rubbish, this is Retail sealed., is there anything eles i need to no that can throw off the Mit?
i no it was before the 2.0 release though, would be gutted if i had an issue again and got the 2.0 16 phase version, the Ud7 1.0 is basicly a Ud9 .
one thing i did take the Water block off the northbridge , this dropped temps around 5-6 c on air and using the Passive cooler, also want to copy the Ud7 2.0 heatsink for the northbridge, got the low profile heatsink i jst needs cutting and then get a thermal pad, just to see if i get a temp drop again.

Quite! only real difference being that the UD9 has the capacity for an extra SLI/Crossfire card. Something most of us mortals couldn't even think about affording.

Of course the best thing is to remove all the heatpipe connected cooling blocks off the motherboard and then get a whole board water cooling block from EK as the standard blocks on the board are fitted on top of a fin assembly so not giving direct cooling to the chips themselves. Really the watercooling option that comes with these boards is only paying lip service to it.

no need for all them Gpu cards on one board anyway unless you want Space invaders running at 1000000 fps , also there is no Pci slot which i need as i run a sound card,
the Standard heatpipes does the job just fine on air removing the Water block was a surprising temp drop but it is a heavy block that holds heat , no need to get that Ek as if your Watercooling on the SD board your allot cooler anyway, on air i am well under the Intel x58 temps (58c load,36 idle) i have never hit 58c max was 55c.
-
Yes I have minimul fans inside the case and only on low setting. The HAF 932 case also helps keep everything cool and even if I torture it I never get over 50 degrees. I have it all watercooled .
-
i just hope you do not have bubbles inside case like you do in a Aquarium.. ;D
was thinking the 930 has a different Mem controller , do you think that maybe down to why the XMP sets mem to 7,7,7,23 with the 920? as that Corsair C7 mem i have is very new.
-
I really don't know why it does that but we see many weird things ike this with memories and it could be down to it not being recognised properly as it is new although I would have thought it would have just read it off the SPD.

thats what i thought , i.e XMP read the mem then boot to that SD XMP timming , this is why i am thinking 920 mem controller.. i wish i had a 930 just to test this Theory.
